However, many people still do not know how to choose the best dryer to buy that suits their needs. Here are some instructions for you to choose the one for yourself. washing machine suits you best.
Before buying you need to answer the following questions:
– How important is the dryer in everyday life?
– How many clothes do you usually wash each time?
– You have max how much save for buying a clothes dryer?
– How much space does your family have for placing the dryer?
– What features must your washing machine have?
– ….
When you can answer all of the above questions, it means you have a partial idea of the dryer you really need.
What types of dryers are there?
– Based on energy:
There are currently two types of clothes dryers: electric and gas. Each type is suitable for different conditions, specifically:
Machine type
Price fluctuates
Power source required
Fits
Use electricity
380$-1650$
240V
Small scale laundry shops
Use gas
550$-1750$
Provide enough operating air
Households
Thus, gas dryers are often more expensive than electric dryers. However, the speed and drying ability of gas dryers are faster and more stable than electric dryers. But in terms of quantity, gas machines cannot dry as much as electric machines.
Both types work on the principle of spinning clothes during the drying process. The hot air of an electric machine is generated from electricity, heating and creating heat at the same time during the drying process of clothes. Gas dryers create heat from burning gas directly during the process of spinning and drying clothes.
Regarding the cost of using energy, it depends on the price of each region (In Vietnam, it is clear that using an electric machine will be much more economical).
– Based on the drying mechanism, there are 2 types: Vented dryers and condenser dryers
Vented dryers operate on a mechanism where steam is released directly to the outside through the vent, so it requires a window or ventilated place to vent the air.
The condenser dryer operates by the mechanism that the released gas will be condensed into water and flow into the water tank thanks to the thermostat in the machine.
Condensers often have a longer lifespan than vented dryers, and are also safer, so consumers often prefer to use condenser models, but the price of this model is also higher than vented dryers. Therefore, users need to consider carefully before buying.
– Based on brand: Currently on the market there are many clothes dryer manufacturers, famous brands are:Electrolux, Fagor, Maytag, Daiwa, Candy, Paykel & Fisher with prices ranging from 3.5 to 16 million VND
Determine the capacity of the dryer you want to buy
Clothes dryer capacity is based on the average volume of each time your clothes are dried. There is a fairly common formula that the capacity of a dryer is usually twice the capacity of a washing machine. For example, if your washing machine has a capacity of about 2kg per load, then your dryer should have a capacity of about 4kg per load.
In addition, you also need to pay attention to whether the size of the dryer is suitable for the space in your home. The size of a dryer is usually 30 inches wide, 25-35 inches deep, and about 35-45 inches high, so if your home’s extra space is larger than that, it will be appropriate to buy an additional dryer.
