What to look for in a new tumble dryer

The problem with a British winter is that its damp, which makes clothes-drying difficult outdoors. It isn’t always practical to air dry indoors, especially if your household generates a lot of washing, so we often resort to a tumble dryer. The problem with tumble driers is that they use energy and energy is super expensive right now. Hence choosing a new tumble dryer is not a decision to be taken lightly. Here are some feature to look out for. Capacity - How much laundry you typically do on a weekly basis? A large family generates a lot of dirty clothes so it’s worth investing in a bigger tumble dryer as not only will this cut down on time spent doing laundry, one larger load will typically cost you much less than three smaller loads. Smart sensors - Sensor dryers can cut your energy use in half. They actually sense when moisture has been removed from clothes and automatically stop at that point rather than wasting electricity by needlessly completing the cycle. Some appliances allow you to choose your level of dryness, from dry enough to store or wear straight away, to iron dry which leaves clothes just slightly damp. Quiet operation – Useful if your tumble dryer will be sited in an open plan area. Some modern dryers are virtually silent, no louder than a fridge! Stainless steel interior - This prevents the drum of the machine from rusting. Air fluff/low heat setting – This protects materials that are sensitive to heat. Energy rating - Modern dryers are more energy-efficient than older models. Upgrading will give you more hightech features for a reduced electricity bill. Look for an A or B rating for maximum efficiency.
