Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
It doesn’t have to be me making the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So how’s it going?
It's been so endlessly rainy that I've been thinking about buying a laundry dryer... Hard to justify a >$1000 purchase for something we'd not really use outside of the depths of winter though. It seems hard to find good info on specific models, anyone got a condenser/ heat pump dryer they'd recommend?
I thought about this recently too and ended up getting a dehumidifier instead as I figured it has more uses than just a dryer. In Winter we usually end up putting the clothes in front of the heatpump. I find running the dehumidifier in laundry mode beside the clothes for a few hours at night, makes them dry by the morning. Bonus is we can dehumidify our bed rooms when we don't have laundry to dry. We did pay $600+ for the dehumidifier though, just something to consider.
Seconding this - we have a dryer, but it only really gets used in laundry emergencies when we need something washed and dried in a few hours. Dehumidifier + drying rack does the job really well, especially when its in the sunroom/conservatory.
