How to choose a drying machine. Review of models, tips and reviews
Features of choosing a drying machine. What kind of household device are these, what varieties, pros and cons, what to focus on when buying, the best manufacturers, reviews.
In global terms, all drying machines presented on the market are divided into 2 types:
-
Standard. In their design resemble washing machines. They have the shape of vertically oriented parallelepiped. There are controls on the front panel. There is also a door through which things are loaded into the drum. In modern devices, the door has a transparent round window (Electrolux EW6CR428W). Senior and more budget models are equipped with opaque doors (Beko DV 7120). They look less stylish, although in terms of effectiveness they are practically not inferior to some modern options. In standard models, the drying principle resembles the washing process. Clothing rotates in the drum, simultaneously blowing with hot air. The speed of rotation is not as high as the washing machines, so that the drying passes more efficiently, and things do not crumble. In general, the intensity of the drum and the degree of heating depend on the modes, but we will talk about them later.
Also, a gradation is sometimes carried out on the principle of placement. There are 2 categories of drying machines: separately standing and built.In. It is worth saying that today the vast majority of models are on the market today. The second option is poorly common, and there are much more problems with installing.
The second important criterion according to which drying machines are classified is the principle of moisture removal. Here 3 types of devices are distinguished:
-
Ventilation. Models with this principle of work are quite rare, but we will still pay attention to them. These drying machines blow their clothes with air and bring it together with condensate in ventilation or just out the window. A special hose is used for air and moisture carriers (as in air conditioners). When using such devices, it is necessary to think over their placement, as well as options for withdrawing a hose. For apartments, ventilation drying machines are poorly suitable (unless you put them in the kitchen where there is a window or ventilation hood). But in private houses, such devices can be used without problems. There, as a rule, there are more windows, and there is enough space for installing a dryer. Today, from the drying vehicles of the ventilation type, you can distinguish the models Indesit IDV 75 and Beko DA7011PA (inexpensive options). There are also dry cabinets with ventilation moisture carpet (for example, ASKO DC7784 V.S), but their price exceeds 2,000.
- Ventilation. The cheapest (with the exception of cabinets);
- Condensation. Average pricing policy;
- With Heat Pump technology. Expensive models.
The unexpected danger of drying machines is named
Drying machines are called the most dangerous source of air pollution among home equipment. This conclusion was reached by the director of the Central Laboratory of Naval Environment (SKLMP) and the Chemistry Department at the city University of Hong Kennet Lung. He determined that when the machine was operating, the atmosphere is polluted with microfibers of plastic.
One drying machine throws out about 120 million microfilocons of plastic per year. To accurately recognize the scale of harm, Lung and his colleagues separately drove through the 15-minute drying cycle two types of fabric-synthetic polyester and natural cotton. The harm of the first was obvious, but with the second things are better. Despite the fact that cotton throws micro.Fiber, they do not consist of plastic, which means they can decompose in the future.
Green spire. Americans came up with a skyscraper of the future. How it will look and save the planet from pollution?
Lung considered unexpected results of the study by a big step towards reducing harmful emissions, which are a great danger to human health and the environment. “After detecting the main source of pollution, we will be able to begin to control it using simple methods,” the professor explained.
Lung proposed to solve the problem using a 3D printer-together with other scientists, he created simple filters that prevent plastic from washing machines in the environment. At the moment, work is underway on a similar mechanism for drying machines. At the same time, researchers warn: filters will not be able to completely neutralize synthetic materials. To stop damage the ecology, clothing manufacturers will have to change their fabric selection policy.

Micro.Fiber is a common group of microplasty. These are pieces of plastic, the size of which does not exceed five millimeters. Synthetic fabrics, such as polyester, are one of the most common materials for clothes due to its strength and low cost. During production, washing and drying, polyester throws into the air huge amounts. They bring significant harm to human health, entering the body through food, water and respiratory tract.
Environmental pollution, including plastic, continues to bring the planet closer to disaster closer. Previously, the climatologist described the consequences of climate change, which await people in the next 100 years. A third of the population of the planet may be forced to move to other places.

Why buy a drying machine: features of the unit
Although hybrid washing machines perform 2 important functions at once, full-fledged dryers still have a number of important features:
things are dried in one call. We have already touched this moment above, but now we will consider it on the other hand. As already mentioned, in hybrid washing machines the limit for loading is not the same: when drying it is less (2-3 kg). As for full.Fledged dryers, they initially have a more capacious drum. Not even the most top-capacity models can dry up to 7 kg of linen (Candy CS4 H7A1DE-S). There are also units designed for 9 kg of maximum loading (Bosch WTW85540EU). Of course, this maximum is focused on cotton clothes, which is more compact and easy. If you need to dry a denim or synthetic fabric, the maximum weight also decreases by 2-3 kg. But even in this case, the capacity of drying machines remains higher than that of hybrids. Therefore, people who need to constantly wash and dry a lot of clothes, electronic dryers are ideal.
Common breakdown of drying machines: identification and elimination of problems
First we discuss one nuance. If the machine does not turn on or “refuses” to run the working mode, do not rush to call the master. It is possible that you made one of the user errors. Be sure to check the following points:
-
Whether the device is connected to the power source;
But it also happens that the drying machine seems to look normal and no flaws were found. Nevertheless, it does not function. And what to do? Call the master or eliminate the problem yourself? It would seem that the right option is a call call. But to save time for yourself and him, it is better to know in advance what the catch is. But how to understand this?
Fortunately, manufacturers of modern dryers provided for everything. Since the current models are equipped with displays, if a problem arises, notifications in the form of a short code are displayed, which indicates a specific breakdown. The values of the codes are usually spelled out in the instructions, but we will still give several examples that will help you figure out the situation faster.
Hostpoint-Ariston and Indesit drying and repairing and repair of drying machines
Drywalls from these manufacturers can signal you of such malfunctions:
Error code on the display | The value of the code | Elimination of the problem |
F01 | Short circuit of engine thyristor | Inspection of the Tiristor chain. With a cliff. Repair or replacement of part. |
F02 | The motor does not rotate due to blocking. The fan can also be blocked. | Checking these structural elements. Removal of foreign objects interfering with work. It is advisable to inspect the wiring and contacts. |
F03 | Cliff or short circuit of the termistor chain. Damage to the main processor or NTC sensor that monitors the temperature. | Diagnosis of the mentioned components. If necessary. Replacing the failed elements. |
F04 | The air pump does not work. | Diagnosis of the pump and its chain. Connection or replacement of the node. |
F05 | No signal from the air pumping pump is supplied. | Inspection of wiring, pulling up contacts, cleaning the oxidized elements. |
F08 | Malfunctioning the heater relay. | Inspection and replacement of the part (if necessary). |
F09 | Failure in work on. | The problem is solved exclusively through the service center. |
F10 | The air does not go well from the heating element. | Cleaning Ten. |
F11 | There is no contact with the superior device. | Checking circuits and part.Time joints. Replacement if necessary. |
F12 | There is no connection between the display and the control board. | Inspection of wiring, pulling up contacts. If necessary, the board is replaced. |
F13 | Temperature controller. | Replacing the element or its installation in its former place. |
F15 | Breeded Ten Relay. There was a cliff or short circuit in its chain. | Relay diagnostics, checking wiring and connecting parts. Replacing the failed details. |
F17 | Damage to the power element. | Repair or replacement of part. |
Washing machine with drying. Pros and cons of
9 months ago, I recommended my budgetary washing machine with drying here. Picabushniki did not believe in its safety for the year and asked to unsubscribe after six months of operation.
After that, 8 people subscribed to me. Shtosh, for my 8 subscribers, including for @bigmak47, @ell.G, Pilya this post.I decided to extend the experiment, t.To. That one year for a good thing? I bought it in July 2020. Now September 2021. T.E. Passed 1 year and almost 3 months from the date of purchase.My washing room is alive and well. During this time, another child was born in our family, so the machine works almost every day. Sometimes not one time.At the same time, without drying, I used it only a couple of times for those things that cannot be dried in the drum. The washing machine survived the move, when moving, the drain hose and the latch of the extending container for detergents were affected. But we say thanks to the loaders. This is how she looks (works with might and main at the time of shooting).
I do not specifically call the brand and model so that they do not consider advertising. But in the picture I think everything is visible. I bought this beauty for 23 thousand Giving her preference to the expensive Samsung for 60 thousand. And I have never regretted my choice. The main criteria for choosing washing rooms were compactness, spaciousness and drying. You can tell me that a washing room without drying is more reliable, but I wanted it with drying, t.To. I was tired of the things hung throughout the apartment, which in such a period like now (there is no heating yet, but it is already cold outside), these things could dry for several days. What she knows how? Knows how to wash on a heap of different programs, standard cotton, synthetics, delicate washing. The fast washing is very happy in 14, 30 and 44 minutes, there is still washing drying in 59 minutes, but I do not use it, t.To. Even one thing does not have time to dry in such a short time. Perhaps such a program is suitable for a light blouse, which will be launched in splendid loneliness. And of course drying. It can be launched both separately and immediately after the end of the washing cycle. There are also three modes for drying: very dry (suitable for towels, robes, etc.P.), under the iron (linen comes out a little wet, just for ironing) and “in the closet” (things can be immediately put in the closet). T.To. Stroke I hate, my favorite mode. Last. If this is not bedding and not classic shirts, but t.Shirts, pants, etc.D., then things do not crumble much and they can simply be folded evenly and put in a closet or immediately put on. There will be no severe mumble.What are the disadvantages of washing steel. First, this is time. While the washing room dries things, of course, nothing else can be washed, as if drying was separate. But in general, I had no place for these two units, and dry drying is worth a lot. As a result, I would have to give me more than 100 thousand to the washing room, which had to be replaced as a result of the breakdown, and separately drying. Adequate drying below 50-60 thousand I have not met.Secondly, it does not have a pile assembly, as in separate dryers. The pile is collected in the filter, which needs to be cleaned once every 1-2 months and is spread on the drum and things. Of course this is not very pleasant, but you can live, given all the advantages of drying drying. And a separate drying dryer in the same way needs to be served, shake the collection of piles.Thirdly, of course I was very carried away by this drying and I am drying almost all things. As for knitwear and knitted products. With severe drying, they sit down but stretch back when wearing. My daughter’s socks 6 years after drying turn into socks for the baby. And my husband’s socks are in my socks, but this is generally the minus of my laziness and the lack of a balcony, where you can hang on drying all these sitting things.In general, probably all. It turned out quite a lot of beech. But the conclusion is that the washing machine is. Masthev for small apartments without a balcony, where there is no place and desire to hang things.Thank you all for your attention. I hope my post was useful to someone.

Additional functions of drying machines
In order for the purchase to bring more joy, it was more convenient for it to use, and it really pleased with the results to buy a technique equipped with additional functionality:
- Filters delaying small garbage, wool, villi and it is desirable that they can be easily removed and cleaned.
- Manual or electronic control mode, choosing the one that is more convenient to use, ideally-LCD display, which shows the beginning and end of drying.
- Several modes for different types of fabric, preferably the presence of a button of the iron effect.
- Ventilation function allows you to refresh things without washing additional washing.
- If necessary, it is better to buy a machine with a blocking from children’s use, locking doors and buttons when working, with inclusion deposit, allowing to exclude unpleasant moments.
Not at all easy to choose a technique corresponding to all wishes and acceptable at a price. Therefore, before buying, you should decide on the functionality that should be in the drying machine and then select the device for your specific tasks, taking into account the size of the room.
Drying machine express test
My wife and I read positive reviews about different machines of linen dryers and still decided to buy and try.
Bought a machine for which there were a lot of positive reviews.
I’ll say in advance. The result was very impressed.
Two large bath towels were painted, they threw it dried in the “towel” mode.
Best of Stewie | Family Guy
On the left in the photo. Dried up on a regular grille, on the right. After machine drying.
Kalyan vills on the left, a towel is hard and smells of powder.
On the right, all the villi is straightened, the towel is soft-soft, it does not smell at all.Like from the Hilton hotel))
I liked that the color of the towel is more saturated, it immediately resembles a new one, from the store.
They completely dried up, got warm and can be used immediately.
Half a liter gathered in the water filter for collecting water.
What is on the filter is more like dust, not a pile.
Exactly the same, feelings, I get it from the vacuum cleaner container.
Underwear BEAN | Mr Bean Full Episodes | Mr Bean Official
I never thought that there is dust in freshly stolen linen!
It is cool that there is a drum backlight, it is clearly visible that there is inside, it will not be necessary to look for small objects like socks. And it just looks very stylish!
In volume it is 9 kg, you can calmly wash six of them, and this will not be a complete load.
They figured it out by eye, two medium loads in the washer can be loaded at a time.
Dried linen can be used immediately.

A bulky grille in the apartment does not take space.
The linen is soft and straightened, as if ironed, only better.
Does not require mandatory output to the sewer, although such an opportunity is. But, if not, it can be put in any corner and just after each drying drain the water from the container.
Electricity consumption annual approximately as a standard refrigerator.
In size, like a washing machine, it will be necessary to look for a place for it. But, as an option, you can install on a lane washing.
Noise, on average, just like from washing. Quiet, but in the same room you can’t sleep with this.
This model does not have a mode of disinfection and refreshing clean, but for a long time lying underwear. They came up with a way out. First soaking and squeeze in a washer, and then drying.Just dry refuses to dry, the humidity sensor says, everything is ok, there is no work)
Later we will test bedding and maximum loading, if interested, I will drink a post about further tests)
I tried such a wisch as a drying machine in American laundry years 15 ago. The thing is extremely cool and useful, although not very expensive (relative).
Now they sell two main types of dryers. Condensation and thermal pump. The first cheaper (from 300), but more voracious in terms of electricity. Thermal pump (from 400). This is a type of conder or refrigerator. Although they dry a little longer, but more economical.
I recently ripened for drying and bought with a heat pump somewhere for 450. I’ll tell you a little about the use of drying with us, in Ukraine.
Buying drying from Europe. On the one hand, it is very impressive to take almost new drying for 200 types of Bosch, but it will be a boo and so that it does not die, it must be served. Cleaning with analysis. The price of the issue. Half of the cost of new drying for warranty. In short, there is a risk.2. Heat pump or condensation. Better of course the heat pump. Although he dries a little longer, he is much more economical. A little, for example, in the cycle cotton cycle set of bed 4 towels 3 hours versus 2.5 with condensation.3. I initially wanted to put drying on the washing machine and was faced with the fact that we have almost no transition spacers. But after watching the blog of one of our plumbing in America. He sometimes puts stupidly placing a sheet of thick furniture wood-bearing plate on double-sided tape from the side of the washing room as spacers. Half a year is normal flight. 3. Ideally, for drying, you can still take aromatic napkins. What’s the catch. They better refresh underwear, you can often find, for example, with antistatic from wool (hello to animal lovers), etc.D. The biggest problem is that it is extremely difficult for us to find them. But the order from America from the Amazon decides. Question price 25 for napkins for a year.4. Things after drying are super simply. Especially towels. Soft as new. This is really cool. True, some things can be more cooled out. But here they will already be checked. Sometimes they knock out so much dust and wool from linen that you just wonder. 5. You can refresh the towel after a shower or a bath so that it does not wash it. 20-30 minutes and as new.
Regarding the washing with drying. Type 2 in 1. It certainly dries, but incomparable. If possible, it is easier and cheaper to take a separate washing and drying separately.
Especially for families with a small child, the real Masthev. If you have the possibility of financial and place, take the dryer. You will not regret.
