Clothes dryers
What type of dryer should I buy?
Shop JB for the latest types of dryers that will dry clothes quickly, thoroughly, and effectively, for a great price. The starting point is choosing the right one for you:
- Heat pump dryer. A heat pump tumble dryer turns the humid air to vapour using a compressor and refrigerant. Also called a heat pump condensing dryer.
- Vented dryer. These appliances vent the hot air and the vapour out, either from the back or the front. Always best to use in a ventilated room, or buy a kit so they can vent outside.
- Condenser dryer. A condenser dryer turns the vapour into water, which it stores and is manually emptied after each cycle.
- Washer dryer combos. As their name suggests, they can do both in one run.
- Drying cabinets. Gentler drying to remove wrinkles and reduce ironing.
Which is better a vented or condenser dryer?
If you’re looking to buy a dryer, the main decision is usually between the condenser and vented tumble dryer. They both have benefits and both do a great job. They also both have lint filters, which we all look like being stuck with for a while yet! Here’s a few things to consider when weighing up a condenser vs vented dryer.
- Price. Vented dryers can be cheaper to buy. They may be more energy efficient, but sometimes only marginally.
- Time. A vented dryer will take less time to dry your clothes.
- Weight. With the added tech, a condenser can weigh more.
- Location. You can put a condenser anywhere and in any room. You don’t need to worry about ventilation.
- Technology. Condensers can have more features, functions, and settings.
- Setup. If you have a front load washing machine and want to stack your dryer on top, a vented dryer may be more suitable.
