WASHER DRYER BUYING GUIDE

Washer dryers all tend to be roughly the same size for an easy fit in your home. Usually measuring 850mm (height) x 600mm (width) x 600mm (depth). It can vary by a couple of millimetres, it all depends on the manufacturer.

Washer dryers with a hot and cold fill are still available, however most washer dryers now are generally cold fill only. This makes them more energy efficient whilst delivering better washing results, especially when using biological detergent.

It all depends on the washer dryer’s energy rating and how much you use it for both washing and drying. The better the energy efficiency rating the more money you’ll save, Washer dryers can cost as little as £60 per year to run, up to £150 per year, but this doesn’t mean the performance of each will match.

A washer dryer’s noise level is measured in decibels, it will have a rating for washing and one for drying. The lower the decibel rating the quieter it will be. Anything below 55dB is considered quiet.

All washer dryers are condenser dryers, so water from your laundry will be drained away and a vent will not be needed.

All washer dryers have a filter which catches fluff and bits of debris when drying. You need to remember to clean the filter regularly as it can affect the machine, drying process and your energy bills.

It is not advised to place a washer dryer in the garage due to the low temperatures garages can reach. Just like a condenser dryer, washer dryers are condensing and will not operate properly in temperatures below 5°C. Only vented tumble dryers can operate sufficiently in low temperatures.
