When it comes to purchasing appliances, a dryer can be one of the most expensive items in your home. If you use one often, the cost can also run up your energy bills, so you want to choose one that suits you and your family’s needs. Size, energy efficiency, and the type of dryer are all features that need consideration, so we’ve made this handy guide for you to help prioritise what you’d like in your home. Using a vent located at the front of back of the machine to dry clothes, vented dryers tend to be cheaper than other models, and can be wall mounted for extra convenience. Vented dryers are ideal for households of one or two people, but tend to be less efficient of the dryers so best for people that only run their dryer occasionally. These dryers also need to be positioned near a door or window to vent properly and prevent moisture build-up. Shop Vented Dryers The most energy-efficient of the dryers, but also generally the most expensive, Heat Pump Dryers pass heated air through the drum and then condenses it into vapour. Ideal for those who want to keep their bills low, these dryers tend to be the most energy efficient while still effectively and efficiently drying your clothes. They’re also gentler on your garments since the dryer runs at a lower temperature, and like condenser dryers, they can also be stacked on top of your washing machine. Shop Heat Pump Dryers It’s also important to look out for features that make life easier, like Sensor Drying that is able to stop the drying cycle when it senses the load is dry, or dryers that operate at a low noise level. A Fast drying setting can also be handy for those that need clothes dried last minute. Designed to make life easier, clothes dryers have pros and cons to each type. Whether you opt for a Vented, Heat Pump, or Condenser dryer, you’re sure to find the best option to suit you at your local Betta or on our online store. Shop our range of dryers
