Which brand of dryer is best?

There are many household dryers, each with its own unique brand. Although they offer similar features, prices vary significantly. For example, the average price of a Korean LG dryer is $800, while Turkish Beko units cost an average of $300. Does this mean Turkish units are of lower quality, and which brand should you choose? Today, we'll tell you about the best brands of dryers and help you navigate the vast selection.

The most reliable dryers

Despite the wide selection, the ASKO brand tumble dryer is worth considering. It features a modern design and is reliable. Thanks to its wealth of useful features and high-quality materials that guarantee a long service life, these machines are among the best on the Russian market.

Second place after these drying units is occupied by Bosch and Miele, and third place goes to Korean devices LG and Samsung!

ASKO dryers are equipped with an advanced sensor system and can quickly dry your clothes with minimal energy consumption. Their ease of use and spaciousness make them ideal for home use. ASKO offers three types of dryers:

• with heat pump;
• condensation;
• ventilation drying devices.

Heat pump dryers operate using a closed air exchange system, allowing them to be used even in confined spaces. Installation is very simple and can be accommodated even in poorly ventilated areas. They are unaffected by heat or humidity, and they also use 50% less energy than ventilation and condensing units.

Condenser dryers operate using two parallel air flows. The inner flow is heated as it passes through a heater and then expelled through the drum, carrying away moisture. This moisture is collected in the condenser and then removed through a drain hose or stored in a special reservoir.

Ventilation devices use outside air, which is heated cyclically. It then passes through the drum and wet laundry, and then exits the dryer through a special tube. This process is repeated until the laundry is completely dry.

It's also worth noting that machine manufacturers strive to minimize drying time, so they've developed a wide range of programs to suit different situations and garment characteristics. For example, the "Bed Linen" program is designed for sheets and duvet covers. The "Steam Crease and Wrinkle Removal" option is designed to remove wrinkles and creases, especially on shirts and linens. Among other features, these machines offer programs like "Quick Pro," which will dry your clothes in under an hour, and "Steam Refresh," which will leave your clothes feeling fresh. Another important aspect is that the brand always listens to its consumers and develops a new generation of dryers, introducing many improvements into them.

For example, all Logic and Style models feature interior LED lighting, allowing you to see everything you're loading and unloading. Furthermore, the dryers are equipped with a brushless motor for quiet operation. And the Multi Filter system prevents dust from entering the dryer. There are other advantages worth noting, too.

• Low Temperature Drying. Delicate fabrics like silk, wool, and cashmere require special attention. This setting ensures that these fabrics dry completely at lower temperatures than usual. Once the drying process is complete, the heat is immediately turned off.
• Fault indication. When a malfunction occurs during operation, the device automatically identifies the cause of the failure and displays a corresponding code on the screen. To decipher this code, you'll need instructions. This will not only help you determine whether the problem can be fixed independently but also speed up the repair process. After all, when you contact a service center, you won't need to perform an initial diagnosis.
• Residual moisture control. When drying different types of clothing, it's crucial to consider the specific characteristics of these materials and choose the appropriate heat treatment. This will ensure perfect results without overdrying. Modes such as "Normal," "Extra," and "Iron Dry" allow you to choose the desired moisture level after drying.
• Steam generator. This feature provides optimal care for your clothes, guaranteeing effective removal of creases and wrinkles. The steam generator also disinfects and freshens linens. The hot steam is suitable for both natural and synthetic fabrics, helping prepare them for ironing.
• Reverse rotation. The dryer drum periodically reverses its rotation, allowing clothes to constantly move around inside. This prevents creasing and wrinkling of fabrics and promotes more even heat treatment.
• Unique Butterfly paddles. Their design gently guides items inside the drum in a figure-eight motion. This ensures uniform heat distribution. The paddles also allow airflow to circulate freely, helping prevent tangling.

Based on all of the above, we can conclude that ASKO tumble dryers are the optimal choice, especially for those who value high quality, efficiency, functionality, and style in their appliances. Using these machines, you can be sure your laundry will be dry and the fabrics will be preserved to the highest standard.
