Drying machine.

For some time now I have been thinking about purchasing a tumble dryer. The choice in stores is small, and the range of prices is many times depending on the manufacturer. I would like a "golden mean".
If there are owners of this unit here, please share your experience, which brands of cars are more reliable and more convenient, which useful functions are desirable and which are optional.

According to the activity of the branch, dryers are not at all popular.

I have a washer / dryer. At first they wanted to buy individual units, and then changed their minds. Little space.

I have an Electrolux EDC77150 dryer. Satisfied. I don’t understand how I could cope without it :) It is used daily 2-3 times. I constantly use the "cotton" and "synthetics" modes in the "delicate" version. It should be borne in mind that not all laundry is recommended to be dried in a dryer, you need to look at the label. I also don’t dry children's tights there - they “sit down” (not any, but I no longer risk it).
As recently as Saturday, my mother bought herself a dryer too - her apartment is very damp and there is no balcony. Drying is just salvation in this case. Took Veko. I haven’t had time to crawl yet, so I can’t say anything about it, except that the Beko equipment is, in principle, well spoken about, and the price is attractive against the background of other manufacturers.

We bought the Gorenie drying machine in the spring, we are very satisfied, there are many modes, you can create your own. I mainly use cotton, mix. There is also a mode for wool and delicate fabrics, separately you can select only airing (drying with cold air). It is very convenient to dry bed linen, towels, T-shirts, jeans. the jeans were especially impressed after drying: they became soft. A very convenient thing: washed, dried and dressed.
And yet, after drying in the machine, you understand why the rinse aid is used when washing.

And also, after drying in the car, you understand how much dust accumulates in the laundry.

And after drying in the car, you understand why you need an iron.

Thanks for the feedback!

Boo Boo, there was once a washing machine with a dryer Wirlpool, a couple of times they used a dryer - the laundry came out incompletely dried and rather wrinkled.
At the previous job, there was a Miele dryer - it dried perfectly, things came out straightened and dry, but things (T-shirts, sweaters, sweaters) were specifically stretched in breadth, and the side seams on the jeans at the bottom took away (twisted) 15 cm to the side (it was already ugly to wear ). So I thought - maybe something new has already been invented without such incidents.

kt1889 , and which model is Gorenie?

JaneChin , Beko 1560? I saw this in Eldorado, for a share of 6000 rubles. But I don't know how quality it is (I can't find reviews).
There is also the Turkish Blomberg TKF 1350S, with some kind of new heat exchanger with a class "A" in terms of electricity consumption (price 15t. R), again there is little information / reviews.

In general, I also liked the BOSCH WTE 86303 OE with a honeycomb drum, and the Siemens model with a shelf for shoes and wool - but are these bells and whistles necessary? Bosch price 20-25t. R. Siemens under 30t. R.

And also, after drying in the car, you understand how much dust accumulates in the laundry.

So it's like not dust (the laundry is washed), but small fibers from the fabric.

[shiva]

shiva, mine dries well, but wrinkles are even better.

Boo Boo,. It is interesting on what principle in machines with drying the laundry is dried, also blown by the breeze, or moisture is removed by condensation.
Boo Boo, off topic - is this not a fiat doblo in the picture?

I don't know exactly, but I think it's a breeze.
I looked at the manufacturer's website. There is nothing about drying.

Doblo, he is.

So it's like not dust (the laundry is washed), but small fibers from the fabric.

Fiber fibers - yes, but I have a dog and a cat. It is their wool in large quantities that I clean off the dryer filters after each drying.

And the linen doesn't wrinkle too much. In any case, if it is immediately, still warm, take it out and put it in place.
I sometimes miss the function of drying wool and shoes.

[JaneChin]

JaneChin, have you already started using Beko? As an impression, you have a rare opportunity to compare both cars. The main thing for me is that they dry well, do not wrinkle and, most importantly, do not deform (stretch or bunch) the clothes.

Fiber fibers - yes, but I have a dog and a cat. It is their wool in large quantities that I clean off the dryer filters after each drying.

JaneChin, and also collects the villi that sometimes stick to other "shaggy" clothes?
Yes, since you have Electrolux, did you consider Electrolux Iron Aid when choosing a model? Until I really understand how much this steaming function is needed. Judging by the information from the site - by no means a replacement for the iron.

I sometimes miss the function of drying wool and shoes.

I will take into account that the function is needed from time to time.

And my drying also adds things a little. Is it just me or everyone?

The previous Whirlpool washer / dryer also seemed to add a little when drying.

Sorry, there was no time to answer. I have a Gorenie D65225. There is a dryer and shoes (never used). This morning, when drying bed linen (this set was usually very dry), I found an additional option: drying for ironing, there is also dry in the closet, completely dry, slightly damp. She pulled out the laundry, which was almost dry, ironed it - and into the closet. Buy, you will not regret it.

Sorry, there was no time to answer. I have a Gorenie D65225.

I take a closer look at this model and its predecessor D 63225 - the price is very attractive. I like the presence of the basket and the display, the design according to the picture, I would also like the observation window. And the drum there is ordinary or "cellular", although I'm not sure that this is good, and where are they made?

This morning I looked into the dryer - the drum is ordinary, but I don't know where it was made, I have to look for documents for it. Things dried in it do not shrink - checked for a year.

The previous Whirlpool washer / dryer also seemed to add a little when drying.

I have the same problem, so I practically do not use drying, and one more problem, after drying the bed linen, there is a foreign smell, is that so for everyone?

There is some kind of smell. But he doesn't make me happy. Similar to ironing, only slightly more intense.

Who has a tumble dryer - how often is this feature used? (is the laundry smoothed out after a long damp "caking"?)

With this so-called "price correction", dryers and the whole BT have become so expensive! , so I think on what options you can save money but not overdo it (Mvideo still has a relatively inexpensive Bosch, but without a snooze timer and without a basket)

We bought Siemens WT 46S513 BY, as the balconies were transformed into useful living space during the renovation. I didn't regret a minute! There is a special function, "anti-crease", so the laundry looks like after hanging. And very soft, you can forget about the conditioners to which my husband is allergic. "Airing" is a great thing too, especially for pillows and blankets that you don't wash very often. It is also excellent to clean cushions, bedspreads and soft toys from dust from cat hair.
I haven't tried the basket for wool and shoes yet.
I really appreciated the machine after the baby was born, as it was washed several times a day.
The delay was not used as unnecessary, but most likely everything should be smoothed out during the drying process.
If someone thinks that things are shrinking from drying, you can lower the temperature. IMHO things sit down from washing.
If there is not enough separate space for this unit, then you need to buy a dryer the size of a washing machine and put it in a column. I have already looked after myself a Siemens washing machine, because I feel that my old lady Zanussi (she is 14 years old!) Is already living out her last months.Siemens \ Bosch has special shelves for connecting their units into a column.

: - \ Can I put it like that? I have no place. Only if the washer. A dryer is a must, since there are two smokers in the house. They smoke on the balcony. Moreover, it is useless to speak. all linen is smoky. And with a dryer it would be class!

Well, yes, that's what we are talking about! This is what I plan to do when we buy a new washing machine. The dryer is installed on the washer, since water is not poured into the dryer and it is lighter. Yes, and does not sausage it when spinning, as it happens with washing machines.
As for Siemens and Bosch, they are connected like this:
Surely other manufacturers of dryers have provided something similar for their devices. If you are planning a dryer from another manufacturer, you can consult the website 🔗 It seems to me that even if the dryer and washer are from different manufacturers, but of the same dimensions, they can also be put in a column. But with these questions it is better to ask specialists. At the above forum, I think they can also help.
And drying is definitely a necessary thing!

Thank you for your answer and understanding of the problem. The only thing is that I bought a washing machine not so long ago and it is narrow (they chose it because of the size of the bathroom. But dryers are not narrow, as I understand it. Or are they? I have a narrow Bosch.

Unfortunately, I cannot answer this question for sure. Bosch and Siemens definitely do not have narrow dryers in the catalog. At Ardo, I somehow saw an old model, small in height, but it was also wide ... Lingerie should fly freely in the drum. In a narrow one, everything would probably get confused. But then again, I'm not special. Look in the open spaces of the Internet, can someone narrow and release. Good luck!

Here I found a narrow DRYER ELECTROLUX EDC 3250. Nobody knows what this model is? hung on the wall or placed in a column with a narrow machine. Maybe someone knows what kind of car it is?

It is hung on the wall. I saw it in the world. Looks like a closet. I guess I need a good wall
Link to a website with a description, you can download the instruction

Well, I hasten to inform you - now I am a full user of the dryer. I chose BOSCH WTE 86303.
From observations - it dries normally, makes noise like an airplane, heats up decently, it feels like it even humidifies the air, I like the presence of a viewing window, it's annoying that at the end it does not emit a signal.

If someone else is relevant, I can tell about mine. I have Miles, of course, but I probably have general principles.
At the expense of crumpled and stretched, a lot depends on the machine and the dryer itself. Some washing machines can be used to get such crumpled laundry that no dryer can fix the situation.
As an example, my old Ardo. From it, the linen was originally taken from one place. About drying in it, I generally keep quiet. There, except that my husband dried socks. Even if I tried to reach it wet, it was still just as wrinkled. Everything stretched perfectly even without drying.

I take out linen from my current machine that is not wrinkled at all. Maybe because of the smoothing function, or maybe just such a machine? But the drum turns the laundry there interestingly. It "rotates" in all directions, so to speak.
Oh, what am I talking about typewriters?
Let's go back to our rams
The dryer also has all of these functions for smoothing, etc.
Cell drum.
But the main thing that struck me was the filters!
One inside, it rarely needs to be cleaned. One in the door, and a couple of small ones at the edge of the drum.

This is the tumble dryer drum. See the fluff on the filters?

This is the door in which another filter is hidden.

This is the door filter. He's got pile from just 2 sweaters! And this is a very small number of it. If I dry bed linen, or T-shirts, oh, there is several times more of this rubbish.I clean the filter every time after drying, although this is not necessary. I must say right away that I wash all my clothes and laundry almost clean. I have a mania. And, apparently, not in vain.

With such a small brush, I can easily remove this dust from the filters. I chose the narrow one in order to clean the narrow filters that are near the drum. They are 3 centimeters thick.
And next to it lies a lump of dust from the filter, all from the same 2 sweaters.

Recently I loaded the whole drum of the washing machine with T-shirts, this is 6kg. And the same 6kg. dried in a dryer. So you don't need to iron the T-shirts This is out of a clogged drum when washing and drying! Well, maybe a couple of specific T-shirts can be ironed a little. And even if it seems to you that you can still easily walk on them with an iron (this is for fans), then you will spend a few seconds on each T-shirt
I can even take a picture of them for clarity, if anyone needs it.
I think if I dried half the load, in general, I would get everything out of the car almost ironed

And now about the shrinkage of things, before loading a thing into the washer and drying, do not be too lazy to look at the labels. I would not be surprised that those who complained about shrinkage and stretching most likely washed and dried those things that cannot be washed or dried.

P.S. I had some things that can't be dried. But I didn’t feel sorry for them, but I wanted to check if they could withstand drying. Of several pieces, one has decreased, but not dramatically - I wear it

[foxtrader]

I can even take a picture of them for clarity, if anyone needs it.

foxtrader, it is necessary !!! Do you iron the bed linen after drying?

I fold the linens neatly. I cover it with a clean cloth and sit down on it to read. After half an hour, I put the ironed linen in the closet

Summer resident, I do not have such an ironing press, I am in the old fashioned way, after the usual drying (on a rope) I always iron the linen. Foxtrader's T-shirts are not wrinkled after the dryer, and probably the bed linen too.

We bought a tumble dryer and I forgot about the iron
So I iron only the collar on shirts

Muzuk which company?

Asko

Well, I read the topic and now I have two problems - I want a dryer and nowhere to put it; if you put it in a column, you will have to change not only a narrow washing machine for a wide one, but also a wide washing machine that stands next to it on a narrow one.

I found a place for her in the kitchen. The washer is narrow, if you put a wide one in the bathroom, the entrance will block. And there is no need to connect the dryer to anything, only to the outlet. And it is necessary for her to set a separate machine as for a washing machine. And then I have it connected to the usual one, and now you turn on the microwave and drying at the same time - the electricity runs out of the machine does not stand. But this is temporary, renovation soon

I'm going to put the dryer where I used to dry my clothes, that is, on the loggia. Discourage or approve

I also came to the same decision - you need to put it on the loggia, the only problem is that it has not yet been completed (it remains to glaze and insulate)

the main thing is that there would be no subzero temperatures on the loggia, otherwise the water will freeze in the tubes and it will be bad for them. and so cool idea with a balcony

Drying is a necessary thing in the house, and doubly necessary in a family with a small child. The advantages are described above (and you do not need to iron 90% of the linen, and you do not hang the balcony for several days, and the linen is not saturated with various rubbish from the street, and the linen is soft, etc.), I have BOSCH WTE 86303 OE, installed in a column on full-size wash BOSCH WAS 24740 OE using their branded accessory with a pull-out shelf, the shelf is very in the subject. I chose between Bosch and Siemens, Siemens has a slightly more interesting model, but at the time of purchase it was not available and Bosch took it, very pleased.

From the instructions for the CM available for download on the Internet, nowhere did I find information about the temperature regime during the use and storage of the CM. Owners of miraculous units, please see your instructions, perhaps somewhere the minimum and maximum temperature in the room in which the CM is located is indicated.Thanks in advance for your answers.

I will answer without instructions, based on my technical education. The lower the temperature in the room, the faster the laundry will dry. But negative temperatures are contraindicated. !!!
There is not a word about this in the instructions.

I have a millet, the instructions say that it is impossible to operate at negative temperatures. I'm happy with drying like an elephant, if you don't overload, then you don't need to iron anything at all. and the linen is all soft and soft!

I have Ariston. Long chose between Veko and Electrolux. But I decided on Ariston because the washing machine is quite suitable. I am very pleased with the price and quality. Things are not wrinkled and half of the ironing has disappeared, does not dry out. There is a wool function. True, there is nowhere to put, I will sacrifice space in my tiny kitchen, but for now temporarily in the hall. I hope with its appearance the dampness will decrease, but due to the heat it is already too lazy to use the balcony. You quickly get used to good things.

I found a place for her in the kitchen. The washer is narrow, if you put a wide one in the bathroom, the entrance will block. And there is no need to connect the dryer to anything, only to the outlet.

That is, you can easily put a dryer in the corridor, where there is free space and does not need sewage? If so, then in general there would be beauty.

You can put it where there is free space. Sewerage is not required since the condensate is collected in a special container and then poured out.

So my dryer is broken. Something with the engine. I worked honestly for five years, I did not know grief with her. Now I think: either to fix it, or to look for a new one.

Ay, happy owners of a tumble dryer! I saw enough of the program on NTV on the weekend about drying machines - and everything dries and does not need to be ironed. I went to work a month ago from maternity and sewed up with ironing ... 3 children ... The laundry does not have time to dry, the batteries were turned off, and it hangs on the balcony for two days. And there was no time to iron at all! Is it really not necessary to iron after the miracle machine - immediately took it out and into the closet? Well, write who has what model, otherwise old messages are presented in the topic, and progress does not stand still. Does humanity really use it, and I don’t know about it.

Well, the topic is not very relevant ((
And I was just interested in drying.
Maybe more people are using it now?
I'm interested in electricity consumption. Does the electricity bill go up very much with the advent of drying in the house?
