Tumble dryer technology is always improving, and modern models have an impressive range of features.
Tumble Dryer Features
Typically, tumble dryers are fitted with an interior light, so you can see inside the drum for easy unloading. Some have a reversible door, which allows you to open the tumble dryer from either the left or right-hand side. Having a reversible door means you have more options for where to place the dryer.
Drying Cycle Additions
Some tumble dryers offer an anti-crease feature, which kicks in once the cycle is complete. The drum continues to rotate every now and then until you open the door, keeping your clothes as crease-free as possible. Cool air settings let you cool down your clothes at the end of the cycle.
Energy Efficiency
Tumble dryers with heat pump technology are a bit more expensive than regular condenser dryers but worth considering, as they’re cheaper to run. Whilst standard condenser dryers release the warm air used to dry your clothes, heat pump technology retains and re-uses it during the cycle. Some top-of-the-range condenser dryers have an automatic self-cleaning system. The condenser is cleaned during the cycle with water extracted from the laundry. This feature ensures optimum drying performance, keeping the condenser lint-free.
Display And Controls
- * Electronic dials are used to select the program or drying time required. Some tumble dryers have buttons that shorten drying times.
- * For heat-sensitive fabrics, consider a tumble dryer with a temperature selector, to ensure clothes are cared for as well as dried.
- * Sensor drying models have an LED panel, which tells you the status of the cycle. Some designs estimate the drying time remaining, others have a buzzer button, which sounds an alarm to let you know when your clothes are dry.
- * Warning lights serve as a handy reminder for cleaning the lint filter.
- * If you’re willing to pay a bit more, you can get a tumble dryer with a time delay, so you can start the cycle whenever it suits you.
- * Another common feature is a child lock, to prevent little fingers from altering settings.
