15 best clothes dryers

Drying the washed laundry is a simple process. It would seem, hang it on a rope and wait for it to become dry. But after all, many of us have repeatedly encountered the situation when clothes stayed wet for a long time or acquired an unpleasant smell. To facilitate the process, special dryers will help, which have replaced traditional ropes, and today many housewives can no longer imagine how they did without these useful items.

Types of clothes dryers

But the variety of models can confound any hostess. Therefore, we propose to understand the nuances of designs that will help make a competent purchase.

First of all, consider what they are.

1. Outdoor. Mobile models that are easy to deploy and install in any free space. They fit a large amount of linen. After folding, they can be stored behind the door or in a closet. Floor dryers are available in vertical or horizontal versions. The first ones look like shelves, occupy a minimum of space, it is convenient to hang bed linen or elongated things on them. Horizontal models, as a rule, have a central part and two additional wings on the sides.
2. Wall mounted. These dryers are of two types. The first ones resemble the traditional way of hanging clothes on the ropes, with only the main advantage: the design consists of a block fastened to the wall, a drum on which the rope is wound, and fastenings that are fixed on the opposite side. The second type is made in the form of an accordion, which is pushed apart during drying to the required distance. After folding it becomes flat and does not interfere with taking a shower.
3. Ceiling. They are used in bathrooms and balconies. Dryers are attached to the ceiling, do not interfere with the passage, do not affect the general appearance of the room. Hanging linen does not require the use of a stool or stepladder, as the brackets are lowered to the desired height and are raised in the same way. The advantage of the model is a large useful area for drying clothes.
4. Hinged. Models are small, so they are designed for a minimum amount of linen. They are hung on the battery, interior doors, shower cubicle walls, coat hooks. Dryers are compact after folding, can be stored in any narrow place, ideal for small apartments.
5. Portable. This type of dryer is suitable for placing a small amount of washed laundry. They are a two-part structure that folds at any desired angle and is securely fixed in this position. Dryers can be installed on the bathroom or against the wall. Their advantage is absolute mobility and use for such items of clothing as underwear, socks, handkerchiefs, towels.
6. Electric. Models operate on the network, while energy consumption is minimal, and consumption does not greatly affect the family budget. Their main advantage is the quick drying of linen, in contrast to the natural drying. They can be mounted to the ceiling, wall or installed on the floor. When using this type of dryer, you can avoid the appearance of an unpleasant smell, the formation of fungus and mold, even when installed in rooms with high humidity.

Before studying the rating, familiarize yourself with the main criteria for choosing dryers.

How to choose a dryer

What you should pay attention to when buying? We will answer this question.

1. Dimensions. Depending on the location of the proposed placement, you can choose a model that is ideal for your size. For small rooms, compact dryers are relevant, which, when disassembled and assembled, require minimal space. Vertical designs are optimal for small apartments.
2. The amount and type of linen. A large family assumes a large amount of washed clothes, which means that it is necessary to choose a dryer with a high degree of load. The best is 25-30 kg. If the dryer is designed for bed linen, then look at the length of the spokes and the height of the structure. For small items of clothing in some models there are additional hanging sections.
3. Manufacturing materials. Dryers are made from steel, plastic or aluminum. The first material is rust-resistant, durable, withstands heavy loads, but is quite expensive. Products from plastic differ in lightweight and reasonable price, but their minus is a fragility and small service life. Aluminum is prone to oxidation, so it is better to give preference to models with anti-corrosion coating. Its disadvantage: over time, the deformation occurs under the weight of linen. Manufacturers of luxury goods for the home also offer dryers made of wood. They are distinguished by stylish designs, but have a high cost.
4. The distance between the bars. An important parameter that affects the quality of drying. If the distance is less than 6 cm, wet laundry will contact each other, preventing the passage of air. For fast drying, an ideal distance of 8-9 cm is considered. With this indicator, you can freely place rugs, blankets, winter clothes, while significantly accelerating the process.
5. Frequency of use. If infrequent application is supposed, then it is possible to stop the choice on mobile models: hinged or floor. They quickly decompose and after operation are removed in storage space. If the dryer will be used frequently, it is better to install ceiling or wall models, or to pre-select a permanent place for the floor dryer.
6. Additional options. For transportation and mobility in many floor models wheels are provided. To avoid damage to the floor covering, the products are completed with plastic overlays on the legs or rollers. For more convenient use in models there are openings for hangers or special brackets for them, which facilitates drying of dresses, raincoats, shirts. Also in the package can be included clothespins, clamps to prevent accidental folding.
7. Manufacturer. Well-known companies guarantee the quality and reliability of products. Based on the brand name, you can make a competent choice in favor of a durable and convenient model.
8. Price. It consists of several indicators and depends on the type, size and materials of manufacture. In the range of 1000 rubles there are overhead models, as well as compact floor standing ones. Up to 2,000 rubles, you can invest in more reliable and roomy designs. The high price involves better materials and a large number of sections for placing linen. But electric dryers cost from 4000 rubles and can reach several tens of thousands.
