How do you choose an affordable dryer?
Dryers up to € 450
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 2 hours on average. 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.
Dryers from € 450 to € 500
Do you want an affordable dryer that dries energy-efficiently? A dryer starting at € 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 an A+ or A+++ energy label (not energy-efficient).
- Your laundry doesn't dry as quickly, but it stays in good condition for longer.
Dryers from € 500 to € 550
You have more heat pump dryers to choose from within this price range, mainly with an A++ energy label. 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++ dryers (not energy-efficient).
- Usually suitable for 3 or 4 people.
- Your laundry dries less quickly, but stays in good condition longer.
Second Chance dryer
If you want an affordable dryer, consider a Second Chance dryer. This means you purchase a dryer that has minor damages, ranging from light traces of use to visible damage. A Second Chance dryer also may have been used and returned. That's why you receive a discount.
