Product review (1 stars): doesn't actually dry clothes most of the time
We inherited a new Bosch HE washer/condenser dryer set with our house. We were so excited! Don't have to go buy new appliances! But now I know why they left them here.

The dryer condenser is not well designed. It is flat, so the condensate doesn't drain well. Then it becomes full of water, then it stops condensing, then the clothes don't get dry. I literally take this out between every load to clean out the condensed water, and I still have to air dry it completely every 3-4 loads or it just won't work. Plus, lint gets in the metal condenser and it's almost impossible to clean out. I've tried pipe cleaners and towels and chopsticks.... it's about a food long and has closely spaced plates of metal ridges for surface area for condensing. The thing is, the lint travels through on the air and gets stuck on the metal ridges. Then because it is so long and the plates are so close together, it's almost impossible to clean. It should be snap-together or something so you can open it up to get the lint out. But it's not. My best solution so far is to take used dryer sheets and run them through with chopsticks. It takes at least half an hour to get most of the lint out, and it's tedious and unnecessary.

The front vent is difficult to open to clean as well. Also, because it's not designed to vent to a duct to go outside, the water condenses in your laundry area (for us, a closet with doors).

All-around poor design. Full of frustration. I got a set of HE stackable washer/dryer from Sears, the Kenmore brand. Better warranty and works great. More features, same size. Also, since I got it on sale, cheaper. Go to a brick and mortar store and save yourself some grief.
