Tumble Dryer Differences

There are different kinds of dryers in the market, so if you do not know the difference then lets go and explore these in a bit of detail.

Vented Dryers

When drying your clothes in a tumble dryer there is a considerable amount of heat that is generated, and this heat needs to be moved somewhere else your machine could be damaged or even cause a fire. Vented dryers have a flexible pipe that moves this air through the pipe to an area outside, such as through a wall, or a hose through a window.

Condenser Dryer

A condenser dryer, which is the most popular takes the water during the drying cycle and turns it into steam, then this steam is converted back to water and routed to a tank, which you would then have to empty from time-to-time.

Heat Pump Dryers

These dryers are normally higher priced and use heat-pump technology, the benefit being lower drying temperatures, less electricity as a result, less noise and ultimately lower running costs.

Laundry Packs

Lastly you get a simple yet effective solution, that is not actually a tumble dryer but a laundry pack, which is a cylindrical bag that uses a high speed motor to blast your clothes with hot air, they take about 10kg and the motor uses very little electricity, they are also the lowest cost alternative drying machine you can get.
