Review of the best according to the editorial board. On the selection criteria. This material is subjective and does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

Drying the washed laundry is a simple process. It would seem, hang it on a rope and wait for it to dry. But after all, many of us have more than once faced a situation when clothes remained wet for a long time or acquired an unpleasant odor. To facilitate the process, special dryers will help, which have replaced traditional ropes, and today many housewives no longer imagine how they could do without these useful items.

Types of clothes dryers

But the variety of models can confuse any hostess. Therefore, we propose to understand the nuances of the designs that will help you make a smart purchase.

First of all, let's consider what they are.

1. Outdoor. Mobile models that can be easily unfolded and installed in any free space. They hold a large amount of laundry. Once folded, they can be stored behind a door or in a closet. Floor dryers are available in vertical or horizontal design. The former are similar to whatnots, take up a minimum of space, it is convenient to hang bedding or elongated things on them. Horizontal models usually have a central part and two additional wings on the sides.
2. Wall mounted. Such dryers are of two types. The former resembles the traditional way of hanging clothes on the ropes, only with the main advantage: the structure consists of a block attached to the wall, a drum on which the rope is wound, and a fastener, which is fixed on the opposite side. The second type is made in the form of an accordion, which is pushed apart during drying to the required distance. After folding, it becomes flat and does not interfere with taking a shower.
3. Ceiling. They are used in bathrooms and balconies. Dryers are fixed to the ceiling, do not interfere with the passage, do not affect the overall appearance of the room. Hanging linen does not require the use of a stool or step-ladder, since the brackets are lowered to the desired height and raised up in the same way. The advantage of this model is the large usable area for drying laundry.
4. Hinged. Models are small, therefore designed for a minimum amount of laundry. They are hung on a radiator, interior doors, shower stall walls, clothes hooks. Dryers are compact after folding, can be stored in any narrow place, ideal for small apartments.
5. Portable. This type of dryer is suitable for placing a small amount of washed laundry. They are a two-piece structure that folds at any desired angle and is securely fixed in this position. Dryers can be installed on the bathroom or against the wall. Their plus is absolute mobility and use for such items of clothing as underwear, socks, scarves, towels.
6. Electrical. The models operate on the mains, while the energy consumption is minimal, and the consumption does not greatly affect the family budget. Their main advantage is quick drying of laundry, as opposed to natural drying. They can be fixed to the ceiling, wall or floor. When using this type of dryer, you can avoid the appearance of unpleasant odors, mold and mildew formation, even when installed in rooms with high humidity.

Before examining the rating, familiarize yourself with the main criteria for choosing dryers.

How to choose a dryer

What should you pay attention to when buying? We will answer this question as well.

1. Dimensions. Depending on the location of the intended placement, you can choose a model that is ideal for your size. For small rooms, compact dryers are relevant, which both disassembled and assembled require minimal space. Vertical structures are optimal for small apartments.
2. The amount and type of linen. A large family also requires a large number of washed clothes, which means that a dryer with a high degree of load must be selected. The optimal is 25-30 kg. If the dryer is designed for bed linen, then we look at the length of the needles and the height of the structure. For small items of clothing, some models have additional hanging sections.
3. Manufacturing materials. Dryers are made from steel, plastic or aluminum. The first material is resistant to rust, durable, can withstand heavy loads, but is quite expensive. Plastic products are lightweight and affordable, but their disadvantage is fragility and short service life. Aluminum is susceptible to oxidation, so models with an anti-corrosion coating should be preferred. Its disadvantage: over time, deformation occurs under the weight of the laundry. Manufacturers of luxury home furnishings also offer wood dryers. They have stylish designs but are expensive.
4. Distance between rods. An important parameter that affects the quality of drying. If the distance is less than 6 cm, then wet laundry will come into contact with each other, obstructing the passage of air. For quick drying, a distance of 8-9 cm is considered ideal. With this indicator, you can freely place blankets, blankets, winter clothes, while significantly speeding up the process.
5. Frequency of use. If infrequent use is expected, then you can opt for mobile models: wall-mounted or floor-standing. They quickly unfold and, after use, are removed to storage areas. If the dryer will be used frequently, it is better to install ceiling or wall models, or pre-select a permanent location for the floor dryer.
6. Additional options. For transport and mobility, many floor standing models are equipped with casters. To avoid damage to the floor covering, the products are completed with plastic pads on the legs or rollers. For more convenient use, the models have holes for hangers or special brackets for them, which makes it easier to dry dresses, raincoats, shirts. Also in the package can be included clothespins for linen, locks to prevent accidental folding.
7. Manufacturer. Renowned companies guarantee the quality and reliability of products. Based on the brand name, you can make the right choice in favor of a durable and comfortable model.
8. Price. It consists of several indicators and depends on the type, size and materials of manufacture. Overhead models, as well as compact floor-standing ones, are within 1000 rubles. Up to 2,000 rubles can be spent on more reliable and roomy designs. The high price implies better materials and a large number of sections for placing linen. But electric dryers cost from 4000 rubles and can reach several tens of thousands.
