Recommendations please for a tumble dryer in the garage

Am thinking of a White Knight as I've heard they are good and reliable and within budget. I don't want to spend too much as it's going in a garage and ideally they should not be placed in garages or anywhere unheated I understand. I need a condenser as no outside wall to vent to.
Recommendations from people who use condensers in garages or outbuildings please - would be interested to know how long you have had it and whether you've had any problems due to low temperature.
Thank you!

I've never heard that about garages! Ours is a Hotpoint condenser, no issues in 3 years.

I thought it was the new type of heat pump condensers that aren't good in garages, as they can only function in an "indoor" ambient temperature? I suppose you should empty the tank in cold weather so it doesn't freeze. My garage is integral, and I've now plumbed in the condenser dryer so I don't worry about that.

We've had a zanussi vented one in the garage (integrated then attached then detached and now integrated ) for about 13 years, use a box thing now with it no problems.

I have a Bosch condenser in the garage. I empty the tank after every use because when it is full it cuts out.

Did you get one MiniMum97? How is it going?
I need to buy a tumble dryer and having never had one before, I have no idea what to buy!
It has to go in the garage - where I have a window and a side door so could vent through there? Should I get condenser or vented??
I have a family of 5 so what kg should I go for?
My mum says I should get reverse action and maybe sensor dryer and a large porthole - right?
Too much choice!!
I think I am most worried about it being in the garage and if it works well in there.
Any help, suggestions, comments ladies?
