An automatic tumble dryer is a functional piece of equipment that will rid your home of ropes, clothespins, hanging laundry. This is important for a small housing area. In the absence of a separate laundry machine, the machine will become an indispensable assistant in the household. Some will argue and say that a class A washing machine makes spin efficient. But even at a speed of 1600 rpm, the humidity of things is about 45%, so they need to be dried. The tumble dryer brings the washed laundry to the iron.
Advantages and criteria for choosing dryers
Buyers are faced with a choice of which car to choose and what criteria it is desirable to pay attention to. There can be no single answer here. Someone selects a device in size so that it organically fits into the allotted space. Others look at power. Still others want the washer and dryer from the same manufacturer. There are no comrades for taste and color, so let's consider the main criteria for choosing a device:
- Drying quality... The machine has modes for different types of fabric. After drying, linen and clothes become soft, the fabric is delicate. They do not form rigid folds, and some items, such as bedding, may not be ironed.
- Filtration system... Special nets on the drum keep dust, animal hair and hair settled on the laundry. Anything that could not be washed off with water will "be knocked out" of the materials during drying. The closed drum system does not allow dust from the outside. After it, the laundry remains as clean as after washing.
- Overall dimensions... An important criterion for small apartments, especially studios. The dryer can be placed wherever there is a power outlet. It is not necessary to automatically drain the condensate. To do this, you can use the manual mode. Based on user experience, the equipment is installed under sinks, built into the kitchen, located above / below the washing machine.
Manufacturers of home appliances are working on the energy efficiency of their devices. All belong to class A for energy saving.
Types of dryers
If you have a separate room converted into a laundry, it is advisable to install drying cabinets. They have enough space for drying linen, clothes, shoes. The design is very bulky, not everyone can afford it. But the machine with a drum can be installed on any living space, even the smallest.
Drum apparatus are divided according to the type of drying into the following types:
- ventilation - work with an exhaust hood that brings air into the ventilation shaft or outside. They are installed permanently and are not found in the household. These models are designed for large amounts of laundry. They are installed in laundries, dry cleaners, manufacturing plants;
- condensation - machines adapted for domestic needs are equipped with a container for collecting condensate and a hose that leads the collected moisture directly into the sewer. They work by means of a heating element;
- condensing with a heat pump are the most efficient and economical models. The air circulates in a pattern similar to the operation of an air conditioner or refrigerator.Hot enters the drum, wet comes out of it, goes in a circle, heats up and enters the drum again. The devices have several programs for fabrics of different textures.
For home and family needs, it is preferable to choose the latter option. After reviewing the technical specifications, you can decide which car is most suitable for your home.
