How does a condenser dryer work
A condenser dryer works with a heating element that gets hot. Because of the high temperature, your laundry dries quickly. This also means that the dryer uses a lot of energy and your clothes can shrink or wear faster. The moisture from your laundry flows to a condenser reservoir you have to empty regularly. Do you have a water drain and do you want to flush the moisture automatically? Choose a condenser dryer you can connect to the drain. If a condensation drain hose isn't included, buy a hose separately.
What's a good condenser dryer
If you're looking for a condenser dryer, keep the build quality of the condenser dryer in mind. If a condenser dryer has a mid-range build quality, it generally lasts longer than a basic dryer. Make sure the dryer has a stainless steel drum, so that the drum doesn't rust. If it has a humidity sensor, the dryer stops automatically when your clothes are dry enough.
