Default Vented tumble dryer with vent on right rather than at back - does it exist?

Greetings
I am after a vented tumble dryer with the vent on the right rather than
in the usual place of at the back. Preferably in silver/ aluminium
colour (my fussy wife...). I have tried all the internet wholesalers
who, since they don't usually have the machines in stock, are
unable/unwilling to have a look for me. And speaking to the
manufacturers themselves is difficult as bizarrely they usually dont't
know (and no you can't normally speak to technical help without
providing your warranty details and model number - how silly).
Do I just have to do it the old-fashoned way opf trawling around the
shops to take a look?
Can anyone suggest a manufacturer and model?
Cheers
Porky

http://www.kelkoo.co.uk/ will give you a list of silver/aluminium
coloured washer dryers.
You could then go to all the makers websites, and download all the
manuals :/

Probably

With my current drier I cut a section out of the bottom, mounted it on a
plinth fitted the vent pipe and could then route it where I needed

When I asked my local shop whether they could advise on which if any new
model would allow me to do the same they said the condensing driers are very
good these days why bother with a vent pipe at all

Google for side venting tumble drier shows Zanussi as meeting your needs

Well, you could also go for a condensing model. I'll never buy a vented
drier again..

Thanks for all your advice people, the concensus seems to be to look
into condensers!!
