There are quite a few types of clothes dryers on the market today, such as heat pump dryers, condenser dryers... including steam clothes dryers. So what exactly is a steam clothes dryer? What are the pros and cons of this type of clothes dryer? Let's explore further with Mytour in the article below!
1. What is a steam clothes dryer?
A steam clothes dryer is a type of dryer that operates by heating a heating resistor. Then a fan will push hot air into the drying chamber, helping the water in the clothes to evaporate and escape through the steam vent. This process continues until the clothes in the dryer are completely dry, at which point the drying cycle ends.
2. Evaluating the pros and cons of steam dryers
2.1. Regarding the advantages
Steam clothes dryers are favored by many families for the following prominent advantages:
- Affordable Price: Consumers only need to spend around 7 - 10 million dong to own a clothes dryer for daily use
- Energy Saving: Steam dryers have better energy-saving capabilities compared to condenser dryers. Therefore, users do not need to worry every time they use this device
- Variety of Designs and Drying Capacities: This is also an advantage of steam clothes dryers. Currently, there are many brands of steam clothes dryers on the market with various designs, colors, and drying capacities to meet all user needs.
2.2. Disadvantages
- This device usually only uses one filter, so if users do not regularly clean it, dust, lint... will accumulate and increase the risk of fire
- Another disadvantage of steam dryers is that they are only suitable for spacious, airy houses. Because one of the installation requirements of this device is the need for a spacious space to add a steam vent. At the same time, it also helps the steam to escape better without affecting other devices and items in the house.
3. Should you buy a steam clothes dryer?
As analyzed by Mytour above, it can be seen that this type of steam dryer has many special advantages, especially in terms of price. Therefore, it is chosen by many families for personal use or for laundry business purposes.
However, this device also has a significant drawback: it needs to be installed in spacious, airy spaces to ensure efficient operation. Therefore, small apartments, narrow houses will not be suitable for use. For these reasons, users need to carefully consider whether their home space is suitable for use or not. At the same time, when purchasing, it is necessary to prioritize choosing a device with a drying capacity suitable for needs as well as a reputable brand for peace of mind during use.
4. Installation Notes for Steam Clothes Dryer
To help the device operate efficiently and safely, when installing this device, users need to pay attention to the following:
