There are many factors to consider in which tumble dryer to buy that best suits your lifestyle and needs. The location and space available, the different types of fabrics you care for, ironing habits and how many loads you run a week all influence which tumble dryer you should select. Follow our simple buying guide that will help you find the right dryer for you.
Energy Efficient Tumble Dryer
AEG offers a wide range of tumble dryer from B to A+++ rated. (A+++ is the most energy efficient and will have the greatest impact on energy costs.) Sophisticated heat pump technology can save up to 40% on energy compared to standard condensers, making it a cost-effective solution.
Dry smarter thanks to ProSense which ensures the best energy consumption by quickly adapting the cycle to the load size. Choose a machine with an inverter motor. They're gentler on the drum and fan and can keep your dryer running longer. The result: shorter drying times and more consistent results.
Tip: Don't overfill your dryer. If you leave room for your clothes to "breathe" they'll dry faster.
Tumble Dryer Dimensions
The first step in choosing a tumble dryer is ensuring you have the space for it.
If you have a 60cm width space then a standard tumble dryer will fit your space.
If you have standard front-loaded washing machine, you can also stack a standard dryer on top to make an all in one laundry space.
Tip: Need more space? Consider buying a compact 2-in-1 washer dryer combo.
Tumble Dryer Capacity
When you think of capacity, it's often in terms of how many kilos of laundry you can fit into your machine. But there's more to consider:
Household size: large families versus single
Habits: how many times a week do you wash?
Type and size of wash items: For example: bedlinens, duvets, and curtains require a larger drum for the best results.
All AEG dryers are equipped with ProSense technology. ProSense uses advanced humidity and temperature sensors to adjust energy consumption for loads large and small.
