1. 5 essential considerations when buying a clothes dryer
Recently, clothes dryers have become a common household appliance due to frequent rainy and humid weather... To ensure your family owns a satisfactory dryer, readers should refer to the following 5 points.
Choose the appropriate type of dryer
Currently, there are two main types of clothes dryers on the market that consumers mostly opt for: cabinet dryers and specialized dryers, also known as horizontal door dryers.

Dry cabinets have the advantage of being budget-friendly, with prices ranging just above 2 million VND, making it easy to choose a suitable model. Compact and easy to arrange, these dryers can handle more clothes at once. However, they often suffer from longer drying times and lack the durability, stability, and reliability found in specialized clothes dryers.

Horizontal door dryers resemble front-loading washing machines with a drum for clothes. These machines typically start at 6 million VND. There are two types of clothes dryers: 'steam vented dryers' and 'condensing dryers'. The steam vented dryer releases water vapor directly through a vent. Therefore, it's advisable to place it in a spacious, well-ventilated area and away from children and pets near the vent. Condensing dryers, a newer technology, trap water vapor in an internal container, preventing it from escaping directly. These dryers are usually compact but come at a higher price (from 10 million VND and up).
Choose a dryer with wrinkle-resistant technology. Image: GG.
For dryers with rotating drying technology or steam injection features, wrinkles on clothes can be significantly minimized. To counteract negative effects on clothes, consider a dryer with temperature adjustment, rotating speed control, and programs tailored to different fabric types.

If you prefer to save space and avoid investing in a separate dryer, consider getting a washing machine that doubles as both a washer and dryer. However, be prepared for the higher cost of this type of washing machine, typically exceeding 16 million VND.
