I need a new WM and was thinking of getting one that works as a TD also just for pillows, down jackets, sleeping bags etc. Are they ok for this kind of use?

I’ve had a couple of condensing WM/TDs do the job very well and are fine for the items you list above.

Mike, do enough people tell you that you are teh freaking awesome?

We’ve just had a Zanussi washer dryer – Gets teh thumbs up from Mrs DPH and me

We’ve done our pillows and Duvet in it. General drying takes a little longer than a specific dryer
