Condensation dryers are terrible. They take forever and your clothes never get that dry (but they sure get wrinkled).

Agreed. I had one in a condo that I lived in.
A load of towels would take 6 hours to dry and you would still hang them up to finish drying afterwards. It was also super noisy and we would only run it when we were sleeping or out for the day. Then there was the smell of superheating your clothes.
A condensing dryer would get any prospective home scratched quickly off my list.

I agree. Like those terrible Dyson hand dryers in public washrooms, there's a lot of sturm und drang but in the end you have to wipe your hands on your pants. And since there's no outside venting, you can't just switch to a conventional washer/dryer set up later (see The Mondrian).

So just to be clear, the dryers at the Wade are conventional and not these ventless things.
The model # of that dryer was posted a few pages back - honestly I'm surprised the developer would go with 24" laundry appliances. Aside from the size, they usually don't perform well and finding replacement units 10 years from now will be as much of a challenge as it is now.

I have no problem with 10 place settings in my pint sized dishwasher.
Seriously though, small laundry appliances suck.

wow that is a small dishwasher. I have to assume these mini appliances must cost more than a regular sized model as the demand is tiny compared to normal sized?

You either spend $600 on a crappy GE/Danby unit, $1,000 on a Bosch or step up like I did and buy a Miele. The third rack for the cutlery instead of a basket really, really takes the sting out of using a smaller dishwasher.
Smaller laundry appliances though are considerably more expensive for their features and performance. You see, when people took Concorde from London to New York, they paid dearly for the trip for the speed and exclusivity of the journey. The same can't be said for a laundry pair purchase.

Yeah, they are not as good a value as a standard size. There are reasonably priced ones out there but they seemed to all be special orders that had unacceptably long delivery times. But they are essential for small apartment situations where it would take a week to fill a regular dishwasher.
The condenser dryer, I don't know, it sounds like false economy.
