What’s the difference between condenser, heat pump and vented dryers? Will it help you save money on your bills?
Whatever your question, our handy guide is here to help you choose the right Tumble Dryer for you.
There are three different types of tumble dryers. Below we give you a rundown of each type so you know which one is best for you.
Heat pump tumble dryers are very gentle and extremely quiet, they’re also the most energy efficient choice. They work by re-circulating the warm air in the dryer rather than letting it escape, which also means they don’t need a hose. So you can place these tumble dryers anywhere in the home, but avoid placing them in garages and outbuildings as they need to operate within a minimum ambient temperature range.

Condenser tumble dryers are really versatile. You’ll be able to place one anywhere in the home as they simply plug in and they’re ready to go. They collect water from your laundry in a container which is inside the machine. The dryer will let you know when the container is full and it’s then really easy to remove and empty it.

Vented tumble dryers are very reliable but can be a little more tricky to position in the home as they use a flexible hose to carry damp and warm air from the drying process to the outside of your home. You can either put the hose through an open window or install a vent in an external wall to take away the moisture.

Tumble dryer load capacity refers to the amount of laundry that the appliance can dry, at one time, in terms of weight. The weight is measured in kilograms (kg) and this indicates the maximum weight of wet laundry that the dryer can effectively and efficiently dry in a single cycle.
Choosing the right load capacity for a tumble dryer depends on your household's laundry needs. If you have a small family or only need to dry a few items at a time, a smaller capacity dryer may suffice. On the other hand, larger families or households with heavier laundry loads may benefit from a larger capacity dryer that can handle more laundry in a single cycle.
When considering the load capacity of a tumble dryer, it's important to remember that the weight specified is for wet laundry.
Tumble dryer drum sizes vary depending on the model and type. We have put together the most common sizes and the loads they can handle:

A Tumble Dryer’s energy rating will tell you how energy efficient the model is. The rating range on a scale from A+++, which is the most efficient, down to D, which is the least efficient.
The energy efficiency rating considers various factors such as the dryer's energy consumption per cycle, the drying performance, and additional features that promote energy savings.
Tumble Dryers with higher energy efficiency ratings often have features such as smart sensors and heat pump technology to optimize drying cycles and minimize energy usage.
Choosing a tumble dryer with a higher energy efficiency rating not only benefits the environment but also offers you the benefit of saving money off your energy bills.
Smart connectivity means the appliance is Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth Connected. So you can monitor and control your machine remotely using an app on your smartphone or tablet.
Some smart appliance can even be control with voice command with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.
The quick dry feature on a tumble dryer is designed to provide a faster and more time-efficient drying cycle for smaller loads, and on some machines these cycles can get clothes dry in as little as 15 minutes! Great for when you need to wash a few items quickly and don't want to go through the regular, longer drying cycle.
