Pro-tip: if you don't know how to use the washer in your airbnb, you can usually find a manual online. The brand and model nr is usually is usually on the front of the machine.

Stayed at a B&B recently and I asked where the dryerbwas as they were walking me around the apt, they took out a clothes stand and told me that was the dryer😅😅 no biggie, Im Mexican and used to this being the way of life but still took me by surprised. In the U.S we have convenience for everything

Thanks for the tip as I've never seen this kind of dryer before. We just got back from Dubai last month and we had a washer/dryer combo in our hotel "apartment". Although they gave us instructions on how to use, it took me forever to figure it out. It also took forever to wash/dry and didn't hold much clothes. I was happy to have one, so I didn't mind so much, but it's a big difference from anything I've used in the US.

Exact same thing for us in Milan two months ago. I was happy to have things cleaned, but they never fully dried, and it took hours to get it from wet to just damp.

These are common in apartment buildings here in Boston. They are called ductless dryers. Basically because most HOAs don't want people punching holes in the walls for the exhaust of a traditional dryer.

That’s interesting. Here in Brazil I have a washer/dryer single appliance, with no duct and no water collection, what makes it the most practical option in my opinion.

O!M!G! I never thought to check YT for this! Unfortunately we were there two months ago and you're video wasn't up then, but you are doing very good work with this video. I couldn't understand anything, not the language or the buttons or readout, and we were drying a few items for up to 5 hours total, but they still weren't dry. We tested it once, left part of the load hanging over chairs, and they were a bit dryer than what was in the machine for the same amount of time.

Mark :-). Oh my great scott, hello there :-). It has certainly been a very long time since I have last viewed your channel but its certainly nice seeing this wonderful video of your dearly loved wife Jocelyn showing us how to use an Italian washing machine :-). Its easy for me to use a British one since I live over in England in the United Kingdom but an Italian one, I would not be terribly sure as to how to use the Italian version of a washing machine though, I hope yourself and Jocelyn had a nice holiday iver in Italy when you went earlier this year :-). Having been to Italy many times before in the past I've very much liked going there and all it has to offer there :-). Best wishes :-). From your friend Foxy in East Sussex, England, UK xoxox :-).

This gives me memories of trying to use a washing machine in France. I studied French for some time, so I figured the washing machines shouldn't be too hard. Well, I studied the language, but I didn't study laundry-based vocabulary. Thankfully, someone saw how I was staring at the washing machine for a while and decided to help me in English, LOL. And for fun, this also happened when I was trying to buy sunscreen. I kept staring at these random bottles, then asked the employee there about a "crème solail (cream sun)" since I had no idea how to say "sunscreen" in French. Thankfully, the lady was so nice and helpful. Ah, the fun of figuring things out in another language. 🙂

After working for customer support for ASKO washers and dryers which are popular in Europe, I found out that many dryers in Europe also are not intended to get your clothes bone dry. So if your clothes feel just a tad damp, that can be normal. This i imagine has to do with how they dry like she explains in the video. The reason why dryers in the US get so dry is because they are vented, vs in Europe vented dryers are very rare due to many buildings being so old.

Wow! I actually like that dehumidifer dryer even better actually! You don't have to deal with potentially damaging sensitive clothing, especially polyester and athletic clothing that gets ruined by ultra high heat! And I'm speaking from experience here, ultra high heat and polyester DO NOT mix, and I'm talking deformations and melting. 😬

Last time I looked for a clothes dryer, the 'condenser' dryers were well over $1000 more than the equivalent vented dryer, which is one reason they are rare in many areas (like $200 vs $1600).

Australian dollars - just checked, cheap (brand you've never seen before) condensers run $800-1600, brand name condensers run $1000-$3500 (!), and that is from online only discount shops, not regular retailers. Basic dryers have gone up to $400+ since all the multinational manufacturers have shut down their plants in Australia (and major spare parts like heater elements or motors cost more than a new machine).

When I hear about vacationing in Italy, that scene from Everybody Loves Raymond, where he is getting bathed by the old woman, comes to mind. So I am wondering is water pressure, really that different from what we typically see or are accustomed to in North America? Or is it more a regional/ town/ older buildings kind of issue?

Sometimes condenser dryers have a dump line to the drain rather than a tank. Less work but less flexibility in installation location.
@jansvanaalst701
@jansvanaalst701 2 года назад
A lot (most) dryers do have a tube to the outside wall. So no water reservoir to empty, just the dust filter that needs to be cleaned after every load. (Easy, small job).Usualy also integrated in the door of the dryer.

It should have been connected to an outside vent. There are vented dryers, dehumidifiers with a water tray or, like ours, a plumbed in one that puts the water down a drain.

@jenbenton6884
@jenbenton6884 Год назад
The dryers in Europe are THE WORST. American dryers are far superior because the fins inside of the drum actually lift the clothes up in the air while spinning, creating a “fluff and fold” effect that actually irons the clothes out while drying, so that you usually don’t need to press your clothes after the cycle finishes, or hire a maid to do it. While in Europe there are usually no fins on the sides inside of the drum, so the clothes just stick to the sides of the dryer wall the whole time, all wrinkled up and not moving. And combined with the heat of the dryer cycle, the clothes are actually having the wrinkles dried into the clothing, leaving a DISASTER at the end of the cycle. European dryers actually remind me of those amusement park rides where everyone enters a round room and stands against the wall as it spins around and around, faster and faster, until you’re sticking to the wall. When will Europe evolve and take a page or two from America’s “fluff and fold” dryers?
