Has anyone any experience with those types? Is there a better option - such as a self draining version?
The chore of \"de-fluffing\" is obviously too much (and probably the reason for so many failures!).
I am prepared to take on that chore and ensure the filters are cleaned a lot more regularly. Are they all pretty much the same when it comes to maintenace?","comment":[{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51440944","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Happydayz"},"datePublished":"2023-11-14T23:48:26.000Z","text":"I think the Samsung range is alright, it comes with 5 years warranty and the ones in the following link all have plumbed in options. They include the draining kit. They are energy efficient too. Noise levels is from 65 dB and lower, depending on the model you choose.
I bought appliances from AO many times, they have excellent service. You can also find similar models from John Lewis if you wanted too.

Basically these are high powered dehumidifiers in a tumble drier package. Trouble is, like condenser dryers they need to drain water out. Our last condenser dryer had a big water tank at the bottom that had to be emptied or it would overflow. What a pain. And it also made the utility room smell of rubber for some reason so had to air that room after drying. Replaced it with a standard hot air dryer.
If I were replacing again, I'd be looking at heat exchanger ones, claimed as saving 60% of the energy. But I'd need a neat, plumbed-in solution to the waste water. Not sure which manufacturers actually offer this."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51440870","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Willy_Wonka"},"datePublished":"2023-11-14T23:34:57.000Z","text":"I hope you got your money back or free repairs for 4 of them."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51442443","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Azwipe"},"datePublished":"2023-11-15T08:49:20.000Z","text":"100% Heat pump is the way to go, much cheaper to run and never shrinks anything.
