As more and more people get into inner urban living, the cloths dryer is growing in demand. There are two main types of dryers, the vented dryer and the condenser dryer. Many people do not know the difference between the two. Read on and I will reveal all!
Condenser dryers are less popular and usually cost more. They are also bigger and weigh more than a vented dryer. With a condenser dryer the moisture is extracted from the air and depending on the machine, held within the unit to be emptied manually or pumped away to a drain. The dry air is then reused in the machine. This type of dryer is best suited to confined spaces. The condenser dryer is a better option for the environment.
While these are the two main categories in dryers there is also the Timer and Auto Sensing dryer. Of course the auto sensor is the better option but then it does cost more but it can also save you money!A timer dryer is a basic model. The consumer sets the length of time the dryer will run.
A sensor dryer is more expensive to buy but can save you money in the long run! An auto sensing dryer has moisture sensors that establish when the clothes are dry and automatically turn the dryer off. This is done by the machine sensing the temperature of the exhaust air. An auto sensor can save you up to 15% on your running costs and of course is better for your clothes.
For me the best option is a vented dryer with auto sensing. If you can vent the dryer externally do! If external venting is not an option then do what I do. Open the windows and let the air in as the dryer is running. If using a vented dryer without the venting its best to be home while its on just to make sure your place will not go up in flames. If you have to go out make sure your lint filter has been cleaned out, your dryer is not over full and there is plenty of air circulating the dryer. Of course when you can use nature’s natural drying system, the good old sun, then that is also a smart option!
