Drying your washing outside on the line is a marvellous idea but unfortunately the reality of the great British weather often means we end up draping our damp laundry over radiators and indoor airers. Tumble dryers can be a godsend and a very worthy investment. The modern-day tumble dryer won’t shrink your clothes and is far more energy efficient than their predecessors, with many models having multiple programmes and large capacity drums to accommodate greater loads. A vented machine uses a hose to push the damp air through a window or wall vent. A condenser tumble dryer collects water in a reservoir (which you then empty), so you can place it anywhere in a well-ventilated room. And a heat pump tumble dryer reheats the air in the drum for gentle drying and energy efficiency, so it’s kind on the environment – and your bills.

FAQ QUESTIONS DRYERS

What does freestanding mean on a tumble dryer?

Freestanding Tumble Dryers. This means that you can install a tumble dryer wherever you have the room. There is also a heat pump model that reuses hot air to dry clothes more quickly and using less energy.

Can you put a freestanding condenser tumble dryer in a cupboard?

In order for a condenser dryer to work, it needs to be able to breathe. This means taking in air that's cooler than the air within the dryer and expelling air that's warmer (and richer in moisture). This means you'll be unable to put the dryer in a confined space, like the inside of a cupboard.

Can I leave the house with the tumble dryer unattended?

Don't leave appliances unattended – don't turn the tumble dryer on before you leave the house or go to bed. Tumble dryers contain powerful motors with fast moving parts that can get very hot. Keep your dryer well ventilated, make sure the vent pipe is kink free and not blocked or crushed in any way.

What are the 3 types of tumble dryers?

There are three main types of tumble dryers: condenser tumble dryers, heat pump tumble dryers and vented tumble dryers. The main differences between these appliances centre on the way each model extracts hot air.

Where should you not put a tumble dryer?

So, you can place these tumble dryers anywhere in the home but avoid placing them in garages and outbuildings as they need to operate within a minimum ambient temperature range.

Where is the best place to put a tumble dryer?

If you have a vented tumble dryer, it expels warm and damp air produced by the drying procedure via a hose. For this reason, you will need to install it near a window, door, or have a vent fitted through an external wall to allow the condensation to be released.

Do tumble dryers turn off automatically?

If you have selected one of the 'auto sense' programmes which are a feature on some dryers, the appliance will automatically end the drying cycle when the clothes are dry. To prevent them from creasing, the drum will occasionally turn until you open the door or switch the machine off.
