What's the build quality of a dryer?

The build quality determines how long you can enjoy your dryer. To indicate the difference, we distinguish high-end, mid-range, and basic quality. The build quality doesn't just affect the lifespan of your dryer. For example, it also determines whether you have a lot of or little problems with moisture release.

In short

To assess the build quality of a dryer, we keep in mind these specifications:

  • Stainless steel drum: wears less quickly, so your clothes stay in good condition for longer.
  • Stainless steel door hinge: less risk of rust, which means the door of the dryer stays open smoothly.
  • Brushless motor: consumes less energy and wears less quickly because there are no carbon brushes.
  • Housing made of metal with enamel: the enamel protection layer at the front prevents scratches and discoloration.
  • Low moisture release: thanks to low moisture release, you have less problems with moisture and mold in a small space.
  • Self-cleaning condenser: ensures that the condenser remains clean and your dryer always works.
  • Anti-vibration walls: reduces vibration and noise due to the special pattern on the walls.

High-end: lasts extra long

Do you want a sturdy dryer that'll last as long as possible? Choose a dryer with a high-end build quality. This has at least 70% of the above specifications. This means that we can be sure that the dryers are really of good quality. Many high-end models have a self-cleaning condenser. As a result, you have very little maintenance and the dryer remains energy-efficient in use.

Mid-range: less maintenance

A dryer with a mid-range build quality has at least 50% of the above specifications. The dryer is of lower quality than a high-end dryer, but lasts longer on average than a basic dryer. You can often clean the dryers easily, which means less maintenance. In addition, the model is made of durable materials that won't rust. This way, the appliance lasts longer.

Basic: lasts less long

A dryer with a basic build quality usually lasts less long than a mid-range or high-end dryer. A basic model has less than 50% of the above specifications. You should also keep in mind that a basic dryer requires the most maintenance. The appliance is made of less durable materials, so you'll have to replace it sooner.
