Good is cheaper in M'sia, bought mine from Harvey Norman S'pore $1750+250 for extended 3 yrs extra = total 5 yrs.

You are right from wet drum when turn into dry mode, the energy also waste more than use dryer separate, also most combo do not have dry dust bin for collected dry debris bin.

Can check with latest pana made in Japan 10kg n 7kg heat pump design was comes with dry debris collection bin.

Samsung condenser dryer input watt from 2850w vs Electrolux heat pump input watt for just 900w only and the price of Electrolux also much higher.

Is depend you wanna do with everyday drying your cloths or 2 days a once.

For me, cause I had my Electrolux tumble dryer at JB home so if I wanna doing dryer for everyday in 1 hour cycle the amount of electric consumption really much higher than used Aircon, maybe of my tumble dryer was not inverter and input watt for 2350w only.

I guess condenser dryer able to do in shorter cycle than tumble dryer, cause condenser design more latest and heat won't lost like vented = tumble dryer.

For another Electrolux heat pump dryer in my s'pore flat, I was done it in 30mins for each job done can able to take out and fold for ready used, but we used it for daily.

In our situalation also cannot put the cloths out for normal sun, we don't have maid for help up in daily to monitor when be rain coming, we are working for whole day, also we don't have balcony yard, like new design hdb flat.

But I also purchased Samsung WW8000 FL from JB and bring to S'pore now, so far so good.

Conclusion :
Heat pump for efficient for daily used basics also energy saving at all.

Condenser taken more shorten cycle than vented dryer, but used more energy.

Vented dryer used less energy but has to set more longer cycle drying than condenser.

Like wanna save time for cycle.

After washed and take out from washer do not direct put in for drying..the cloths still minor wet of the time cycling time more than what you expecte about 45-1 hour.

Cause after washed can be hanger on cloth rack for natural dry on over night 1st.

After works went back home before do cycling needs in short of 30mins drying time only.

Save time & save electric bill.

Go for Electrolux much durable brand.
If from 7kg condenser was made in Poland

Condenser can save place for anywhere without ventilation hose an issue.

I like consenser more than vented model, cause without blow out hot air on back yard.

He got wroted on after job done, you may try to clean out on door rubber of some debris, later would clogging more dust & turn into bad smell.

Oh ya same as mine too

But each time after used the door just leave it open until next day right, then still got some smell meh?

Dunno your one same like it

But make sure after sale service can find parts in future, unlike Electrolux is everwhere.
