Top 10 drying machines
To replace the ropes for drying clothes
Author: Oleg Yasinsky
The importance of a modern washing machine in the house is difficult to overestimate. And although many consider it to be completely self-sufficient, one should not forget that even the “coolest” spin of Class A (1600 rpm) provides residual moisture in laundry of about 45%. And this is far from "ironing". And this very fact is a rather weighty argument in favor of acquiring not some set of ropes with clothespins or wire clamshell, but a much more efficient, functional and versatile device - an automatic drying machine. For our rating, we chose the best (according to customers and experts) of the most popular tumble dryers.
Advantages of drying machines
The realization that a good tumble dryer is not a luxury at all, but a very serious help in everyday life, while most often it visits those who managed to see or feel in practice the result of its work. And having tried it once, it’s unlikely to refuse. The reasons for this are many. Here are just some of them:
Drying machine takes up much less spacethan the usual designs for hanging. With a rational approach, there are plenty of options for installation, even in a small room: you can install it under the kitchen worktop, put it on the washing machine, next to it, and generally in any convenient place where there is an electrical outlet, you can drain the condensate manually.
Machine drying quality is much better.. Lingerie at the exit noticeably softer and more tender. Automating the process and controlling the humidity make it possible not to overdry the fabric, to prevent the formation of “hard” folds. With proper choice of modes, bed linen and some items of clothing can not even be ironed.
The filtration system allows you to fight dust.. The latter is formed from the smallest fibers of the fabric due to mechanical interaction with the drum or comes from the outside with clothes that you want to refresh. In addition, the laundry from the car remains clean, and, for example, after drying on the balcony, it can no longer be considered as such due to the inevitable contact with the external environment.
There are some true minuses. The main thing is the extra cost of energy. But leading manufacturers are constantly working to minimize losses.
What are the drying machines
If we take as a basis for design features, then there are 2 types: drying cabinets and drums. The first ones are more convenient for top, everyday clothes, shoes, but they have a significant drawback - they are too bulky. For this reason, our review will not be considered.
Drum machines are divided among themselves by the type of drying:
Ventilation (exhaust). The principle is simple - the incoming air is heated, saturated with moisture evaporated from the laundry and released to the outside. Such varieties require the organization of a special allotment to the ventilation shaft or directly to the street; in everyday life, they almost never occur and are produced only for professional laundries, dry cleaners, etc.
Condensation. Optimized for domestic use option. Dry heated air enters the drum, becomes wet, is fed into a heat exchanger, where condensate is released from it, which, in turn, enters a special container or directly into the sewage system.
Condensing with heat pump. The most efficient, economical, but more expensive kind of tumble dryers. Instead of the traditional heating element, it uses a circuit with a circulating coolant, similar to the principle of working with a compressor refrigerator or air conditioning.Warm air is injected into the drum, takes moisture, passes through the evaporator, where it cools, getting rid of water, and returns to the condenser, dry, where it heats up again. And so on in a circle until the program ends.

Which dryer is better to choose?
If you talk about the best manufacturers of drying machines, the most popular today is the products of German brands Bosch-Siemens. Their models are characterized by excellent quality of drying, reliability. Between the brands themselves, most models have functional “twins”, differing only in design. Here is someone closer. Worthy "middle peasants" Gorenje and Whirlpool. Cheap models are not bad at Candy and Beko, although you can consider more options with Hotpoint-Ariston. High-class solidly and confidently represent the German "monsters" Kuppersbusch and Miele.
In general, most often the choice of the manufacturer of the drying machine depends on the brand of the appropriate size of the washing machine already in place or planned to be purchased in order to create the perfect kit. In this case, the calculation of the overall design style, service and information support, the compliance of the parameters, the presence of branded connecting elements is fully justified.
Equally important is the principle of drying. The best option is a heat pump. And how else with such advantages as ultra-low power consumption, maximum efficiency, preventing the effect of shrinkage of complex woolen things. Yes, and the surrounding air is not heated. In terms of efficiency, classic condensation models are losing considerably, it is advisable to put them in well-ventilated rooms. But many can afford it, and this is often the decisive factor.
Those who choose the dryer for the price, you can advise a little to analyze the situation. A simple example: we look at the specifications not only for the class, but also for the average annual energy consumption of the expensive and more affordable model. Next, knowing our home tariff for 1 kW / h, we quickly estimate - for what period will the difference pay off? It is possible that there is a reason to overpay a little at the beginning, so that it will be cheaper in the end. Although there is an option in which it will take a very long time to wait for the benefits and it’s not a fact that the game is worth the candle.
Finally
The conclusion is clear, simple, logical and verified by a considerable number of users - the automatic drying thing for the house is necessary, incredibly convenient, and sometimes just necessary. Choose, buy, be joyful and happy!
