Reply to: Anyone got a Bosch condensing tumble dryer?

Why have you all got condensing dryers? A hole in the wall is the way forward Shirley??

The thread did ask for people with condensing tumble dryers!

You can start your own thread for those with non-condensers

Thanks all. An ironing lady seems the way forward !

[Pondlife]

Likewise, the lady picks it up, takes it away & it comes back ironed & on hangers & everything

Life is waaay too short for ironing.

£10 for a bin bag full or if you don't like the idea of someone earning a little extra cash in hand, Johnsons charge about 80p a shirt.

Way forward?? It’s the only bloody way!

I fill the box, she picks it up & brings it back next day £25 (for 2 weeks’ worth of work / fancy clothes) CBA with T’s & chill out togs. I get to spend my time doing things I want & there is no argument about wearing too many clothes, buying hard to iron items whose turn it is etc..

We do have an emergency ironing board & iron somewhere in the house – I think

We never have *that* discussion.

Oi, have a word with CM, I'm trying to convince her that this is the "way forward".

The woman deals with "that kind of thing".

If so, which model? Does it have to be plumbed-in in any way? Or does it need just a mains plug?

How do you like / rate yours?

I'm thinking of getting this one, particularly for its reduced ironing feature:

I hate ironing

I bought the missus one of the "iron aid" dryers for her birthday last year....it's what she asked for (honest). As to how good it is, dunno, I don't do the ironing, but I do know it uses the evaporated water collected in the tank to inject steam back into the cycle whilst drying, which is apparantly what helps reduce the creases. I think she's happy with it. Not too much help i'm afraid.

How about a plan B. Charter a ship and employ some cheap Asians to do laundry and ironing on the ship anchored off the three mile limit and not subject to UK employment regulations. Charge ten quid a load.

You have trousers you can tumble dry? You know that's not the same thing as dry cleaning don't you?

I do have some trousers I can tumble dry - Cargo Pants, Chinos and various fairly casual sorts of trousers.

I don't tumble dry suit trousers, as you imply they go to the dry cleaners.

My condenser isn't plumbed in you just empty the tank pretty well each use.

But "reduced ironing feature" WTF? Just take the stuff out when it finishes rather than leaving it in to cool and crease!

Works for shirts, trousers sometimes need a quick rub over but most stuff is wearable, unless your the sort of person/nob-end who irons socks and hankies.

We have two Meile ones in the washing room downstairs. No plumbing, but you have to empty the tank.

Haven't tried the no iron features as I only use them for bedlinen.
