Tumble Dryers

What is the difference between a condenser and heat pump tumble dryer?

+

A condenser dryer uses heat to dry your clothes. The moisture is then collected in a tank. A heat pump dryer reuses warm air during the cycle. This makes it more energy-efficient, but drying times may be longer.

Which size tumble dryer do I need?

+

An 8kg dryer is usually suitable for a small or medium household. A 9kg model provides more room for larger loads and bedding. A 10kg dryer may be a better choice for a busy family. It is often helpful to match the capacity to your washing machine.

Do tumble dryers need an outside vent?

+

Condenser and heat pump tumble dryers do not need an outside vent. This gives you more choice over where to place the appliance. However, the room should still have suitable airflow. You will also need to empty the water tank unless the dryer is connected to a drain.

What does sensor drying mean?

+

Sensor drying measures the level of moisture inside the drum. The dryer then stops once your clothes reach the selected level of dryness. This can save energy and help prevent clothes from being dried for longer than needed.

Can I put a tumble dryer in a garage?

+

This depends on the model and the temperature of your garage. Some dryers may not work well in very cold or damp spaces. Moisture and poor ventilation can affect performance. Check the manufacturer’s installation guide before placing a tumble dryer in a garage or outbuilding.
