How to choose a tumble dryer

The era of hanging wet clothes on dryers, radiators and street ropes is gradually disappearing. They are being replaced by special machines that help not only dry, but also smooth out folds. In addition, such devices provide freshness and do not dry out. All of them are endowed with different options, on which their cost will depend. The purchase of such equipment must be approached competently, knowing the rules of choice. Here's what to look out for:

1. Type of work. There are ventilation and condensation dryers. The first ones work on the principle of blowing out moisture; high-quality ventilation ducts in the room must be equipped for them. The latter convert moisture into condensate, which then settles in special trays, or goes directly to the sewer.
2. Drum volume. Things should move freely inside the car. It cannot be stuffed to capacity. If the amount of laundry is large and washes are frequent, then the optimal volume will be at least 100 liters.
3. The amount of loaded laundry. Models with a higher load weight are preferable, because things increase in volume after washing. The most popular devices, which are loaded from 7 to 9 kg of wet laundry.
4. Loading type. There are vertical and frontal machines. The first ones open from the top, they are great for small spaces. The second hatch cover is on the front wall.
5. Functions. There are machines with the number of programs from 4 to 27. They differ in the drying modes and the degree of dryness of the laundry at the exit. Each type of fabric has its own version. There are additional options, for example, determining the degree of filling the condensate tray or the drum lighting mode. The more complex the feature set, the more expensive the cost.
6. Energy consumption. All machines have their own energy class. A +++ is considered the most luxurious. Such units are several times higher, but they can save up to 7 thousand rubles per year for electricity bills. Basically, models with classes A and B are now being produced. These are cheaper, but not too energy-efficient.
