To want a tumble dryer in the bedroom?

We have a utility room with a (pointless) sink which means there’s only room for a washer dryer. It’s rubbish. Eventually I want to redo the whole thing and put a washing machine and tumble dryer in there.

The dryer bit of the washer dryer isn’t working. I’ve had a quote of £90 to come and have a look, that’s without any parts.

I think it would be better to get a tumble dryer now, a heat pump one, for £330, and have it in the bedroom for now. There’s space, and it’s a black one so will blend in with the dark bedroom furniture.

DH has said a flat no. He wants to spend less and fix the W/d. I’ve explained that even fixed it’s still shit, it only dries half a load and takes two hours so a one load of washing and drying takes the whole day. We have a constant backlog.

He also thinks the bedroom is a weird place to have it. I think it’s ideal as I can fold and put away straight from the dryer.

I am the only person in the house who does laundry.

WIBU to just order one? The idea being when the W/d inevitably packs up completely I can replace with a washer and then when funds allow rejig the utility.

Repairing the W/D might cost £330? If it’s £90 just to come out, once they add on time and parts it’ll be ££££

You could mount it on the wall above the sink. That is what we do back home with laundry's that have no floor space.
