Views on the news Westport-News

Sometimes the Westport News will evaluate the town's recent events and create a "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" roll in response. A review of the Westport news this past week has luckily been very positive, and we're happy to commend the township and its residents for their positive contributions.

1. The Westport Police Department deserves credit for keeping up with rising violation in town. They arrested three men in connection with an armed robbery at the McDonald's on 701 Post Road E. Things have gotten a scarcely scary in town lately, with more than one report of a robbery at gun-point in the last month. We're glad that Westport's finest are up to the call into and are working hard to keep our streets, homes and places of business safe.

2. Wednesday's paper featured a report covering Staples High School Principal John Dodig 's talk with the Y's Men. Dodig, his department and staff are to be commended for all the hard work they put in to make Staples one of the best high schools in the nation, as recognized by Business Week . As Dodig pointed out, education in the 21st century means that the schools must tailor to changes and new methods of reaching students. The town's educators worked hard to minimalize any budgetary requests last year, including restricting guide raises for the current fiscal year. We hope that, as we head into budget season, that their sacrifices this year will be enchanted into consideration. It may mean extra tax-payer dollars, but the townspeople seem to really value the top-notch lore this town provides, and seem willing to pay a little more for this added service.

Can you recommend a ventless washer/dryer?

I lodge in a 2nd floor condo, and so can't have a separate washer and dryer (condo rules), and cannot have a dryer that requires a vent. I've looked online for reviews of existing ventless washer/dryer combo machines, and other than beastly reviews of the equator brand, I haven't seen enough opinions to decide which one to buy.

If you've owned or worn one a ventless washer/dryer, what was your experience? What brand do/did you have? Was it worth the purchase price?

I have not in the flesh owned and used one of these units. However, I work in appliance sales and have heard some customer feedback. Most commonly I am refering to an LG technique WM3677HW. You can check it out at

There are two major complaints that are made about these units. THe first issue is vibration. Most front loader configuration washers are designed to go on the first floor of homes. Upper level floors, being generally weaker, sometime concede the washer to vibrate even if perfectly level. This stems from both the high weight of these units and their high gyration speed. This is somewhat ironic considering these units are designed for residences that do not have traditional laundry hookups (usually multi level apartments). Secondly, these units are designed to use 110 volts exclusively. Not using the 220 volts garden-variety to most dryers, they cannot produce a high heat dry. This results in long dry times typically of 150 min. or more! All that said, these units do provender you with the ability to do laundry at home. That alone may out weight the inperfections in the design of these units. If you do have 220V hookups you may stand in want to consiter a initized spacemaker washers & dryers (more commonly refered to as a laundy center). It is a stacked washer and dryer housed in one appliance. While they on the whole has a lower capacity that the LG they have dry times between 55 and 75 min. and generally cost less. GE and Frigidaire both make variants of this scheme. Check them out at:

Both these products do require a vent. I am not sure about codes in your are or condo rules there are experience alone lint catchers that are basically a bucket of water and a filter that takes accepts the exaust as contrasted with of an external vent. They are available at Lowes and Home Depot.

The LG certainly seems to be the most elegant solution to your obstreperous. I just wanted to arm you with as much information as possible before you make a decision.

Can I vent a 120v electric dryer out my window?

I recently moved into a insignificant apartment which does not allow installation of any venting for a dryer. Lugging laundry up and down 3 flights of stairs and worrying to compete with people for a washer and dryer at the laundromat has become a nightmare! I looked into the combo washer/dryer units but the reviews have been so inconsistent I'm scared to pay so much money for one. I read somewhere that sticking a hose out of a window when using an electric dryer was an option when proper venting wasn't at one's disposal. Does anyone know anything about this? Any feedback would be so much appreciated.
Great. Thanks for all the responses. Believe it or not I've never had my own particular dryer. Is attaching the hose to vent out the window something I can do myself or do I have to call a professional in to do it?


Sounds satisfactory to me. As long as it is vented outside.
