1) There seem to be very few clothes dryers like in the states.
In every house we owned, there was a vent for the air (to the outside) and we
never had to worry about condensate. Here, there seem to be a) Condenser dryers
- You have to empty the water yourself, b) Heat pump dryers - More efficient,
but you still have to empty the water yourself, or drain it, c) Vented dryers -
Like in the states, but there seem to be very few of these.
2) On at least some
dryers, you don't get to choose how long it takes to dry the clothes.
3) The vast majority of washers are front loading. Top loading
washers seem to be used when there's little space. There are also washer/dryers
in a single machine (Like I saw in Australia and Japan.)
4) Test.de seems to be the German consumer reports company,
doing appliance tests, ratings, etc.
5) Our washer/dryer will be in the basement. There's a circular
set of stairs down to the basement and a regular set. I'm going to have to
measure all of the doorways to see if these will fit through.
6) The house used to be three separate dwellings. The top floor
has washer/dryer hookups and the basement has washer/dryer hookups. The
basement also has a second kitchen. Robin wants to get Beth her own
washer/dryer so she can do her own dang clothes.
