Types of dryers
While a few years ago the clothes dryers were about appliances that were barely used, are currently gaining integers in terms of popularity. Many people, when they have to furnish a House, directly get into the budget the dryer; a bit like what happened with the microwave oven makes a few years. The fact that every time we have less time to wait to the clothes to dry, because we are always in hurry, makes these practical appliances support invaluable.
In addition, he also take into account that in some areas of wet weather clothing take long to dry out; in the end, clothes hanging from the radiators waiting for his moment of being recogidas… If to this we add that the houses are increasingly smaller and that many of them do not have drying rack or covered terrace, we will then understand the popularity of clothes dryers have gained over the years.
The pros and cons
Ten percent of Spanish households already has his dryer. Since then, the comfort having washed clothes and dry on the same day is something to consider. Saves considerable time, and also don’t need tender and destender clothes, a cumbersome and boring task. Just jump the clothing of the washing machine to the dryer and program it. Later, the clothes happens directly on the grill or drawers.
However, not all are compliments in regards the dryers. First, it should have space to put them, as they occupy as much as a washing machine. Also, the clothes get considerably more wrinkled than if there is a tendency in a string, not to mention in a percha… Dryers can burn some parts of the garments that are rubber or plastic, so these garments can not dry out in it. In addition, if we do not empty the filter antipelusas (or our dryer doesn’t), the risk is that the clothing is full of hairs. There are tissues that can shrink with the heat from the dryer, as for example flax; You must always check the labels if they not recommended drying.
And finally, we must take into account that a dryer is an appliance, so that the energy consumption of household will increase. This is bad for our pocket and the environment, especially if we bear in mind that in a House with four members of family, the dryer is a minimum of four times a week.
Types of dryer: what to choose?
Dryers are divided into two General groups, depending on how that remove moisture from clothes.
Dryers for evacuation: are the cheapest. They operate centrifuging the clothing at the time that generate hot air for drying. Later, the air was evacuated by a tube that will necessarily need to be communicated to the outside through a window or a hole in the wall of the façade. This means that the dryer will have to be placed in a place that allows the installation of the tube; for example, a terrace or a drying rack. Evacuation may be mechanical or electronic; the mechanical leads a timer to select the time that will take the process, while the electronic presents a series of options, and depending on which we choose (for example, “colada Ironing Board”) the process will take more or less, and the temperature will be more or less high.
The most recommended are electronic; they spend less energy and are more comfortable and easy to handle, while also leaving more expensive.
By condensation dryers: these appliances cause moisture from clothes to evaporate and then condense, picking up later in a tank. Therefore, it is not necessary to put any tube to the outside, as moist air which expel is not generated. By condensation dryers can cost twice as much as that work by evaporation.
The truth is that if we have space, the most recommendable option is the dryer for evacuation: are cheaper and work just as well. In addition, do not spend so much energy. What is important is to purchase a model known brand and with all the guarantees.
Another good option is to buy a washing machine-dryer. This saves space (although they leave quite expensive) and energy. Manufacturers advise not your purchase, as they allege that it is difficult to find parts for its repair; but we can also assume that them it is worth more to buy two appliances instead of one…
Tips for getting out them throughout the game
If possible, it is better to put the dryer along with a washing machine. If we buy a model of dryer whose door can change meaning, we can open at a time and going clothes from one to another with all comfort.
We must always look for appliances of energy class A, which spend much less energy.
When it comes to get clothes, must be borne in mind that the more clothes input, most wrinkled come. If we are going to iron her, should take it out when it is still slightly damp.
If we separate the garments depending on their weight, we will draw more performance. And the best clothes as soon as end of the process to avoid creating difficult to remove wrinkles.
When you buy, usually suffice with an apparatus with a maximum of 5 kilograms of capacity. It should also be indicator of cleaning of filter antipelusas, programs that we are really going to be used (sometimes there are programs that are not used never and expensive the price), timer and temperature selector. Anti-wrinkle special cycle is not too effective.
Prices and consumption
Dryers for evacuation have prices that are around 300 euros, which can vary considerably depending on the establishment where it is purchased.
A drier by condensing costs between 500 and 600 euros.
With regard to energy consumption, with an average of four weekly uses, the dryer annual energy expenditure amounts to about 50 euros.
