Features of the use of electric tumble dryers

Our life is completely surrounded by electrical objects that facilitate existence. One of them is an electric tumble dryer. This necessary thing especially saves young mothers with their constant washing. It will also come in handy in the cold season, when the linen dries for a long time.

Consider the advantages of electric dryers over conventional counterparts:

• the ability to choose a model with ultraviolet lamps, backlight and ionizer;
• the product takes up a minimum of space;
• high speed of drying things;
• the ability to independently choose the temperature of the device thanks to the thermostat;
• availability of models with remote control;
• the minimum chance of getting a burn at high temperatures (60-70 degrees);
• low electricity consumption, about 1 kW / h.

But such products also have minor drawbacks:

• higher price compared to classic models;
• the need for power supply;
• increased power consumption.

The modern market offers a huge variety of electrical appliances for drying clothes. The choice depends primarily on the availability of free space for the location of the product, its dimensions and technical characteristics. There are 5 types of dryers: floor, wall, ceiling, drum and drying cabinet.

A modernized version of the folding dryer familiar to us. The models can be presented in several versions: a ladder, a stand with curved elements or a classic book. A dryer in the form of a hanger with a light protective bag worn over the clothes to be dried is also referred to as a floor dryer.

A fairly mobile option. Easy to fold and stow away. The power ranges from 60 to 230 W. Withstands the weight of linen from 10 to 30 kg, depending on the design.

The best option for installation is a bathroom or a small balcony. Compact in size, most often they do not exceed a meter. Designed for drying small items (linen, toys, hats, shoes).

They are a frame with several crossbeams and a heating element inside. The maximum weight of the laundry is up to 15 kg.

They are installed mainly on balconies and loggias. Multifunctional dryers with UV lamps and lighting. They have a length of 1 to 2 meters. For ease of use, they are folded with a maximum load of up to 35 kg.

Additionally equipped with a remote control panel. Many models use fans. Manufacturers also take into account the air temperature outside: products can operate in the range from -20 to +40 degrees. The balcony must be glazed.

The models resemble in appearance a washing machine. In them, the linen is poured over with a warm stream and at the same time squeezed out. The machines have a wide range of functions for types of fabrics and types of clothing. Additional functions include drum illumination, air ionizer, fragrance, disinfectant of things. Things dry out within an hour.

Dryers are divided into condensing and ventilation. Condensation heats up the air and blows it through damp laundry. Condensate accumulates in a special block for removal (in rare cases, you can connect to the sewer drain). It is considered the most popular type to use at home. Ventilation products are based on the removal of evaporated air through the ventilation system to the outside. Installed near the window. In terms of price characteristics, all models are quite expensive.

Quite a large thing, resembling a refrigerator in size. In the closet, warm air blows on linen from all sides. Due to its size, such a model is usually not purchased for household needs, it is mainly used by dry cleaners, laundries, beauty salons, hospitals and other institutions where large amounts of things need to be dried.

In order for the purchased item to please you and meet all the requirements, pay attention to the following guidelines.

• It is necessary to decide on the room where the device will be installed. For small rooms, such as a bathroom or a balcony, ceiling and wall models are more suitable, and for large rooms, floor models.
• Noisiness. Modern dryers are mostly silent, however, at this point you still need to pay attention.
• The presence of a thermostat. This function is intended to protect the laundry from overheating and to preserve its integrity.
• Load. The dimensions of the product are directly related to the maximum amount of laundry to dry.
• Aesthetic appeal also plays an important role.
• Additional functions and electricity consumption.
