The currently existing clothes dryers could be grouped into three types according to their principles, namely vented tumble dryers, condenser tumble dryers and heat-pump tumble dryer. All of them have their advantages and disadvantages which shall be listed as below.

Vented Tumble Dryers

Vented tumble dryer is the most traditional one. It has a simple structure. It sucks air and heats up clothes inside the chamber. After absorbing the moisture of clothes, the extra heat or moisture shall be discharged out of chamber through exhaust pipe (some machines are equipped with special air-exhausting location for heat dissipation, thus no extra tube for heat dissipation is needed). The dry air shall be left inside to dry clothes. It’s relatively cheaper compare to other types. Also, we have lots of different models for you to choose. However, the exhaust pipe should be installed and extra space is needed (without steam discharged out of room, the room shall become hotter and more humid).

 

Condenser Tumble Dryers

Condenser tumble dryers shall also suck air from the room and heat up clothes inside the chamber. Since a condenser with flowing cold water is equipped, there is no need to discharge the steam out. The steam shall be condensed to water through the condenser and then flow back to box for storage (in some machines, the water shall be discharged through the drain pipe). Users should clean the water tank. It’s simple and convenient for installation. No exhaust pipe is needed. However, the indoor temperature shall be raised on the process of clothes drying. More water shall be consumed and it’s more expensive than vented tumble dryers.

 

Heat-pump tumble dryer

Heat-pump tumble dryer is also considered as the updated version of condenser tumble dryers. Thus, it’s alternatively named heat-pump condenser tumble dryers. Its heat-pump system is capable of recycling heat generated from the clothes-drying process so as to effectively dry clothes and for dehumidification. It’s effective in clothes drying and has low electrical consumption. The surrounding space shall not become too hot. However, its price is higher and suitable for generous budget.

 

 

Comparison between gas clothes dryer and electric clothes dryer

Most of clothes dryers sold at the market are electrically driven due to their convenient installation and usage. There’s hardly any difference in the efficiency of clothes drying between these two types of clothes dryers. However, gas pipe and exhaust pipe are needed for gas clothes dryer so as to get the steam discharged out of room. Meanwhile, windows should remain open for ventilation. Therefore, most consumers prefer electric clothes dryers which are more flexible.

 

Volume

Volume of clothes drying is directly correlated with amount of clothes to be washed. You could choose the volume of clothes dryer as same as that of washing machine. For the purchasing of washing machines, some numbers are provided for reference. Generally, 1 kg equates to a set of clothes, including a pair of trousers, a piece of jacket plus underwear and stockings. A washing machine with the volume of approximately 7 kg is needed for a family of 2 or 3 members while the volume of 8-9 kg is appropriate for a family with 4 or more members.

 

Temperature/humidity sensor

Nowadays, many clothes dryers utilize humidity sensor to measure the humidity inside the machine, mainly for judging the dryness of clothes and adjusting the time for clothes drying. When the humidity insider the chamber is detected to be lower than the appropriate level, the operation of clothes dryer shall be automatically stopped. Other machines are equipped with temperature sensor which detects the temperature of exhausted gas to judge the dryness of clothes. Comparing these two sensors, the humidity sensor is relatively more accurate and has better energy-efficiency.

 

Anti-Wrinkle Function

Many people are worried about wrinkles occurring in process of washing clothes. In fact, winkles also occur in the clothes drying process, especially for business suit. Traditionally, clothes dryers with bigger chamber shall effectively reduce the tangles of clothes and thus the winkles. The common clothes dryers could dry clothes in rotation to avoid winkles produced by the long-term one-way rotation of the chamber and thus contribute to the fast and even drying of clothes.

 

Safety Lock for Kids

When the clothes dryers are connected to the power supply and operate, the chamber shall rotate and generate heat. The unintentional touch by kids may cause dangers. The safety lock for kids could ensure that the clothes-drying modes shall not be triggered or changed by kids randomly pushing the buttons. This function has been widely applied to all kinds of electrical appliances such as microwave oven, electric oven and washing machine which are more likely to produce accidents.

 

Filter

A lint-filtering-screen is built in the clothes dryer and needs regular cleaning. In purchasing clothes dryers, customers should notice whether the filter screen needs frequent cleaning, since the regular cleaning operation consumes both time and water. Some dryers have indicator light for filter screen to indicate whenever and when the cleaning operations are needed. Besides, consumers should also be aware of whether the filter screen could be easily dismantled and cleaned.
