In today’s lifestyle when a routine is already quite hectic, the use of a tumble dryer can help a great deal in saving your valuable time. Nobody likes an appliance that is slow-moving, unreliable and consumes too much electricity. The same goes for when it spins your clothes in a way that remains damp and fusty. Tumble dryers can seem somewhat expensive and it is not necessary that the most expensive dryer is effective too. While looking to buy clothes dryer online, you need to consider various aspects. In this way, you can get the most out of your investment.

Tumble Dryer Types and Their Functionality

Clothes dryer machine comes in three types and is used differently than each other:

Condenser Tumble Dryer

The condenser dryer doesn’t include a dryer hose. Instead, it transforms moist air into the water which is then stored in a container. The container is located at the back of the dryer machine.  With this feature, it is convenient to place a condenser dryer anywhere where there is appropriate ventilation since it does not need the hose outlet. But its greatest disadvantage is that it is pricey and consumes loads of energy.

Vented Clothes Dryer Machine

Compared to a condenser dryer, vented dryer machine is cost effective while uses less energy. The vented dryer has a dryer hose. This is the reason why it is recommended to be installed near a window vent or a wall. In this way, hot and damp air will be released outside through this hose.

Heat Pump Dryer Machine

These dryers use much lesser energy compared to the condenser and vented dryers while they can help you in saving a lot of money in the long run. In condenser and vented tumble dryer, hot air is released which is used to dry out the clothes. In contrast, heat pump dryer preserves hot air so to reuse it. Just like the condenser dryer, heat pump machines are somewhat expensive too.

Tumble Dryer Should be Small, Average or Large?

On our online store, clothes dryer machine is available in Siemens and Whirlpool in 7kg and 15kg respectively. Most of us believe that the bigger the dryer is, the more efficient it is. But this is not the case. In fact, the full up the dryer is, the more energy and cost efficient it is, so, you don’t need to purchase the one which is too big in size. Generally, a 7kg drum can easily accommodate 19 to 20 cotton shirts of men. So, before using a dryer, you should determine as to how much washing is needed which can be dried out in one load of a dryer.

Should I Choose Tumble Dryer with Automatic Sensor?

Older models of tumble dryers had manual settings which needed to be set with respect to time. Nowadays, modern clothes dryer machine has an automatic sensor feature which automatically stops the machine when it senses that your clothes are completely dry out. Such machine helps you in saving a lot of money on energy bills since clothes won’t need to be left for getting dry unnecessarily.

When it comes to an automatic sensor, the biggest drawback of this function is that usually, the program ends quite early which leaves your clothing almost half wet. Tumble dryer with automatic sensor also costs higher than the manual machines so, you need to check its pros and cons before finalizing any appliance.
