Why you need a dryer for clothes, it is clear from its name. But whether it is necessary, or without this accessory, you can do without it - it's a purely individual matter. Meanwhile, we will find out what the modern models of dryers are and what their main advantages are.
Nowadays electric clothes dryers are very popular. They dry things much faster than conventional stationary dryers, because electricity is used to heat the strings. There are also models that dry clothes with the help of a fan heater - for such a dryer it is necessary to put on a special cover, and as a result of forced circulation of air, the laundry dries very quickly. Because of this, they are so widespread.
Other, more minor advantages of electric dryers are their compactness, as well as the fact that the fabrics do not dry out during such drying, they have a pleasant smell and, as is typical, they do not need to be ironed with a few exceptions. Individual models have a built-in power regulator device (this is useful for drying different types of fabrics), an air ionizer or an ultraviolet lamp. Buying such devices makes sense if you use these additional options, rather than overpay for unnecessary devices.
Like any technique, an electric dryer has its drawbacks. They can be reduced to the following:
- dependence on the power source (should take into account the electricity consumption, which is an average of 1 kW / h, and voltage fluctuations in the network);
- playback of the device noise, albeit a low level;
- the theoretical possibility of burning (to minimize this risk should be set comfortable for the hand temperature is not higher than 50-60 ° C).
Particularly relevant this point is if you have kids.
Varieties of dryers
The key difference between models of electric dryers is their design. Depending on the method of accommodation in the apartment, they are all divided into floor and wall.
The floor electric clothes dryer pleases with its mobility, because you can put it on any free space in the room, dressing room, corridor or even on the balcony. The main thing is to have a source of electricity in the room. If you plan to place the device on the balcony, then note that it must necessarily be glazed - otherwise it is better to choose a non-electric model of the dryer.
As for the wall-mounted electric clothes dryer, it is often installed in the bathroom. Such a vertical design takes up less space, properly performing its function.
