Types of Tumble Dryer

When purchasing a new tumble dryer in Croydon, the first thing you want to think about is whether you want to buy a condenser, heat pump or vented tumble dryer.

Vented Tumble Dryers work by pumping moisture out through a hose. This hose is placed through an open window or is professionally fitted through a vent. You will typically find that vented tumble dryers are less expensive to buy, but they are less energy efficient and will cost you more to use.

Condenser Tumble Dryers work by condensing the moisture into water and storing it in a small tank. Then you will have to empty the tank when it’s full. They will cost more than a vented dryer but can be placed and used anywhere in your home. They cost about the same as a vented tumble dryer to use.

Heat pump Tumble Dryers work by gathering water in a tank like a condenser, but the hot air won’t escape and will be re-used. These will be slightly more expensive to buy but will cost significantly less to run and can be placed anywhere in your home.

How Much Can I Fit in a Large or Small Tumble Dryer?

Tumble Dryers comes with different capacities, ranging from compact 5 kg models to very large 10 kg capacity models, so no matter what family size you have, we’ll have the perfect one to suit you. Larger drum sizes will be able to wash more laundry in one cycle, so if you live in a larger household, this will more than likely suit you. Though, if you prefer to save energy on laundry days or live in a smaller household, a smaller drum size will be better suited to you.

Energy Ratings

All of our tumble dryers here at Budget Appliances of Beckenham will have energy ratings that range from A+++ to D. This refers to how efficient the machine is, so the higher the rating, the more energy you’ll be saving with each cycle you run. This means the more efficient the machine is, the kinder it is to the environment!

Drying Programmes

Nowadays, tumble dryers are completely packed with brilliant programmes to help you get the most out of your laundry. Some programmes include:

• Anti-crease - If you don’t take your clothes out when the cycle finishes, the dryer will spin the drum to stop creases from setting in.
• Delay Start - You can programme your dryer to have your clothes dry and ready at a certain time, such as when you get home from work.
• Half Load - Helps you to save energy when you only need to dry a few items.
• Filter Full Indicator - This will alert you when the filter needs changing. Emptying the lint filter will keep your tumble dryer running at full efficiency. Not doing this is one of the main reasons why tumble dryers become damaged.
