COMPARISON TEST - 5 heat pump dryers

Dryers are extremely practical: they can be used to get the water out of textiles that were in the washing machine moments ago, just as quickly as easily. It is therefore not surprising that more than 42% of households in Germany already have a dryer. Of course, drying can also be done in other ways, for example, by simply letting the laundry roll outside or inside the household until the water in it has evaporated. But then you always have to take into account many factors that cannot be planned, such as the humidity and temperature levels outside or inside. If these factors do not match, the drying process can drag on endlessly: But especially if you want to or have to use your textiles again soon after washing, such methods are not acceptable. However, some people do not want to bring a dryer into the house because it consumes a considerable amount of electricity during the drying process, which can also cause the household's electricity costs to skyrocket. It cannot be denied that a dryer cannot work without electricity. However, those who are not willing to entrust their laundry solely to the benevolence of the weather may be interested in a modern heat-pump dryer: With such a dryer, you are still much faster than if you only let the laundry linger indoors or outdoors, but you don't have to worry about excessive electricity costs. Thanks to the heat pump, its electricity consumption is more moderate than that of other dryers. This time we tested 5 different heat pump dryers (€min - €max: €499.59 - €903.29).
