Tumble dryer hose on opposite side to hole?

[ARockNRollNerd]

We've just had our garage converted and upon having the tumble dryer delivered we've learnt that the hole for the hose to go through is on the opposite side to where the hose is on the machine.
So the hose is on the right hand side when looking at the back but the hole is on the left hand side and the hose curves around to go out the hole.

The AO delivery man said the machine won't work properly like this. Our builder says it's fine.
I don't have a clue.

Who is right?

As long as the vent hose isn't flattened in order for it to reach the hole, it should be fine. You can always buy a longer hose from the likes of espares online. Ours works fine. At a guess the AO guy doesn't want any come back if the machine doesn't work properly.

Thanks wowfudge. We've left it far enough forward so the hose isn't flattered.
The hose is long enough it just has to go behind the machine and out.
Sounds like it should be ok.
