How do you choose an affordable dryer?

Dryers up to € 450 are almost always condenser dryers. Thanks to the high drying temperature, your clothes dry relatively quickly. A full drum with space for the laundry of 1 or 2 people is dry in an average time of 2 hours. The disadvantage is that an affordable dryer uses a lot of energy. Due to the high drying temperature, your laundry is also more likely to shrink.

What you can expect:

• Almost always a condenser dryer.
• B energy label (not energy-efficient).
• Dries your laundry relatively quickly.
• Laundry wears and shrinks faster.

Do you want an affordable dryer that dries energy-efficiently? A dryer from € 450 to € 500 is right for you. You'll also find heat pump dryers within this price range.

What you can expect:

• A heat pump dryer with A+ or A+++ energy label (not energy-efficient).
• Your laundry doesn't dry as quickly, but it stays nice for longer.

You have more heat pump dryers to choose from within this price range, mainly A++ models. This doesn't make your dryer energy-efficient. Most dryers within this price range are suitable for a family of 3 or 4 people, or even 5 people or more.

What you can expect:

• Mainly A++ models (not energy-efficient).
• Usually suitable for 3 or 4 people.
• Your laundry dries less quickly, but stays beautiful longer.

If you want an affordable dryer, consider a Second Chance model. This means you purchase a model that has minor damage, ranging from light signs of use to visible damage. A Second Chance dryer also may have been used and returned. That's why you receive a discount.
