For those who don’t know, what a tumble dryer is? Well, tumble dryers are a household machine that is used to dry clothes after they have been hand or machine washed. These dryers remove the moisture or wetness from the washed clothes and dry them completely. Tumble dryers consist of a drum that rotates while hot air is effectually distributed during rotation. Since these dryers rotate at a very slow speed, it causes a tumbling effect.
In case you have huge families; drying laundry can be a daunting task, especially in rainy season. Also, lack of space for drying makes it further more difficult. Wet clothes or damp clothes are smelly and do not feel fresh. Infact wearing such clothes could lead to congestion in few individuals. Hence, Dryers are a must in every household.
Before you set out to buy a dryer, it is important you know about the different kinds of dryers available in the market.
Condenser Dryers: These dryers do not have an outlet behind the machine. Hence, they can be placed anywhere in the house. These machines are more apt for smaller homes. All the water and moisture from the clothes is accumulated in a sealed tray or bottle. One needs to clear this after every use.
Vented Dryers: Vented dryers possess an air vent and hence these have to be placed close to an outside wall with a hole. This will enable the machine to let out the warm moist air created during the drying process.
Spin Dryers: Incase you won a small house and do not have enough space, you could opt for spin dryers. These dryers consume very less energy and are very efficient and good for lesser clothes.
Washer – Dryer: This machine has both washer and dryer integrated in it. Hence, if you cannot afford two machines one for washing and one for drying, you could simply opt for this. However, since it performs both tasks the options available are fewer and also consume more time and more energy.
Thus, keeping in mind the above mentioned parameters, you could choose any dryer that suits your budget and requirement. Also it is important that lint and fluff that gets accumulated when drying needs to be cleaned after every cycle. This improves performance, reduces energy consumption and also ensures safety as dry lint tends to catch fire when it gets exposed to high heat.
