<p>I just moved to my much-smaller new house and one of the biggest downsides to down sizing has been my new teeny-tiny washer and dryer, Bosch Axxis stacking models. I especially hate the dryer. It takes so long to dry anything that I’m wondering if I got a defective one. Any experience with these units?</p>
<p>I still have my old, extremely large washer and dryer that I was planning to sell on Craigslist. Now I’m thinking of looking into how much hassle/ how expensive it would be to get a washer/dryer hook up in the garage. There’s plenty of room. Any idea of how big of a job that would be? </p>
<p>Is your dryer gas or electric? If gas you will need a licensed plumber for hook up, if electric you might need a dedicated circuit and new outlet.</p>
<p>Aren’t those dryers ventless? They’re slow because they condense the water and then pump it out. The pump can clog but they’ll be slower than a regular dryer in any event. </p>
<p>An electric dryer in a garage is usually easy because they just need to run a line from the box, which might be in the garage. Gas depends on where the pipes are. I have had both kinds and am happy with either.</p>
<p>I’m going to explore a garage hook up for my big old gas dryer, and, if that’s prohibitively expensive, maybe I’ll buy a new electric dryer to install in the garage. It’s convenient to have the stacking units upstairs near the bedrooms but I don’t think I’ll be able to live with the crazy long drying times for teeny tiny loads. (Not to mention how wrinkled sheets get when crammed into a small dryer). Thanks again for the info on the ventless technological limitations. </p>
