There's a little filter thing you empty occasionally which is where all the lint, pet hair and human hair goes that's sucked into it as the clothes spin around. I wouldn't be without my tumble dryer either - I know they have a reputation for being power guzzlers but most nice things in life cost moneyThis is what i plan to do, i am hoping to invest in a tumble dryer next month and aim to use it purely to finish off the clothes after being outside I am very intrigued as to the dog hair comment, we have a German Shepherd so i feel your pain does it really work and where does the hair go? Thanks x
In life , people need to have dry washing too. I put things on the radiators too .I have a condenser one in an outhouse. Makes your towels really soft, which is delightful after growing up using towels that were like cardboard. I put things like underwear on radiators I was advised when having a damp survey not to dry things in the house on my airer, but I still do
I'm the same , the only space I've got is in the out house . I'd leave the door open and stick the vent out there. I don't think it's good for them if it gets too cold in the winter .Sorry to jump on this - does anyone here keep theirs outside in a shed? I have no space in my kitchen so this might be my only option and I just wondered if anyone else does this?
Fab thanks, I can't wait to get mine nowThere's a little filter thing you empty occasionally which is where all the lint, pet hair and human hair goes that's sucked into it as the clothes spin around.

I personally love our tumble dryer - I’m sure others have said but a condenser one doesn’t need to be plumbed in and you just have to empty the water every 2-3 cycles (not a hard job , I use it to water the plants !)I’ve recently moved into a house that has the space for a tumble dryer for the first time ever. Having looked online I am totally confused what they all do and what the differences are what is a condenser?? Are they worth it in terms of usage? Do they shrink your clothes? I line dry our clothes wherever possible (I live in the UK) and if not, have them on airers indoors but they do get in the way a bit.
Do you think they are worth the money/efficient to run etc.?
Thanks

Thanks xI try and hang stuff as much as possible, if the ground outside is dry then your washing will dry however I tend to finish the last 5-10 minutes in the dryer. It cuts down on ironing if I shake them out and fold when still warm, it also softens stuff and removes the dog hair (my main reason for having it black uniforms/clothes and yellow labradors)
Parents used to do this, don’t leave it on over night or when you aren’t at home and obviously don’t store anything flammable near it (paint/oil/petrol etc etc) but yeah, you absolutely can have one in the shedSorry to jump on this - does anyone here keep theirs outside in a shed?

Sorry, I’ve only just seen your reply! In the filter. And yes it’s fantastic for getting dog and cat hair off stuff like fleeces etc that it sticks to. I have pedigree british shorthairs too (like the Sheba cat) and they’re double coated and the undercoat is horrible fluff that won’t hoover or anything. I imagine GSD hair is similar.This is what i plan to do, i am hoping to invest in a tumble dryer next month and aim to use it purely to finish off the clothes after being outside I am very intrigued as to the dog hair comment, we have a German Shepherd so i feel your pain does it really work and where does the hair go?
