Buy a dryer
When you buy a new dryer, there are a few important things to keep in mind. For example, the load capacity, energy consumption, noise level, and build quality. Always make sure you choose the right load capacity, so you can dry all of your wet laundry in one go. If you want to dry more energy-efficiently and protect your clothes, you choose a heat pump dryer. You can also rent a dryer with a dryer subscription. You can read more about it on the other page.
Choosing a dryer
When buying a dryer, you can choose between a heat pump dryer or a condenser dryer. With both types of dryers, the water ends up in a condenser reservoir or can be removed via the water drain. An A+++ heat pump dryer is most energy-efficient and is better for the environment and your clothes. A condenser dryer with a B energy label is the least energy-efficient.
Energy consumption
The energy label of a dryer shows you which energy label the dryer has. This tells you whether the appliance uses a lot of energy or not. If you want an energy-efficient dryer, you should opt for an A+++ heat pump dryer. This will help you save up to € 115 per year compared to using a condenser dryer.
Load capacity
Which dryer suits your household depends on how many kilos of laundry fits in the dryer. Do you have to dry the laundry of a large household? Make sure you choose a large load capacity when you buy your dryer. Read the advice article to check how what load capacity you need.
Noise level
If you want to install your dryer close to your living room or bedroom, you should keep its noise level into account. A silent dryer has a noise level of up to 64dB. You can find this information on the energy label. In this case, you won't be bothered by any noise.
Build quality
Do you want a good dryer that will last a long time? If so, choose a dryer with a high-end build quality. In the high-end range, there are models available with a self-cleaning condenser. With these models, the heat exchanger rinses itself while it's drying. This makes sure the dryer is energy-efficient.
Condensation efficiency
A dryer collects the water from your laundry in a condenser reservoir or removes this via the water drain. In addition to this, a part of the water always escapes via the drum door. We call this condensation efficiency. Want to install your dryer in a small room? If so, purchase a dryer with a condensation efficiency of 5% or less. This way, you won't have mold on your walls.
Dryer subscription
With a dryer subscription, you can dry your laundry energy-efficiently for a fixed amount per month. This way, you have a dryer at your disposal that always works and you'll save on energy. With the subscription, you don't have to spend large amounts of money in one go. There won't be any unexpected costs either. If the dryer is broken, we'll exchange it for a replacement one. Are you going to move? We'll move the dryer with you, free of charge.
Installation service
To connect your dryer in the desired spot, choose an installation service. You can select this service when you order your dryer. This way, you choose comfort and can be sure that everything will work right away. Want to place your dryer on top of your washing machine? You'll need a stacking kit. We'll install it for your right away, if you choose this service for your dryer. Read which services there are and which one you need.
