It appears our dryers are alike as well!

There are a couple of options...

I have an Fisher & Paykel clothes dryer - it's one of the ones that you can hang upside down over the washing machine and has automatic settings that mean you select how dry you want the clothes and leave it to do its thing. It also vents outside so you don't have to put up with the dust or the moisture.

Downsides is that they aren't cheap and you have to mount the things as well as duct them outside... and they aren't cheap to run. And the thing is that even with a really good dryer I wouldn't be putting one of my tailored business shirts through them.

Now I do have a device called a 'dehumidifier' - this is a device that sucks all the moisture out of the air. They are very common in NZ and Japan due to climate and if you have consistently dry air in a relatively damp climate it prevents mildew, mould and also dust mites (allergies). Some also have a particulate filter than basically filters out dust etc.

It is not as quick as a drier but I often hang clothes inside my spare room with the dehumidifier on some clothes racks (often with the shirts on hangers) and most stuff is dry in the morning. Has the advantage of being fairly similar to the natural process of drying and means that you don't get as many creases... which reduces that time required to iron.

I have the F&P auto dryer. I bought it 11 years ago when they were the new best thing. I paid $450 back in 1995 and today the same dryer is still about the $470 mark.

I have never had a problem and have moved house and had it mounted or floor standing. I would happily recommend any F&P products as I have never had problems with my washing machine, fridge, dryer and dishwasher.

Fisher and Paykel for us here too.

It is the same model that Ian is talking about above.

The auto sensing function means that it will turn off when the stuff is done rather than let it keep going on the timer.

Also, you can tumble dry items of clothing that say "do not tumble dry" if you use the low setting.

Handy that

Good Luck Shazzy

's

F&P, auto sensing, chuck them in & press go, take them out when you can't handle the beeping any more.

I have a povo pack hoover 5kg..... its just a dial one... but guess what... it also has automatic functions... yes auto functions!!!... my missuss walks up to the machine when clothes are dry... sticks hand into confirm cllothes are dry.... after confirmation, clothes are automatically taken out... then automatically ironed, folded and put into their correct places.... Best bloody hoover I ever had
