We are accustomed to four types: wall, floor, hinged and wall-ceiling. So let's look at them in action to figure out how to choose the right clothes dryer for ourselves.
On the wall
Folding or wall-mounted for a small bathroom just right. More practical - a folding design. She hides the ropes when clothes are not dry. If necessary, the rope block is pulled out of the drum, and when it is unnecessary it comes back.
The strength of the product depends on the reliability of the fastening. Withstands 6-12 kg of linen - suitable for small things, and bedding will have to be thrown over the door. Inconvenient, but there is nothing to be done. On the other hand, the wall dryer can be hung higher or lower so that it does not stand on a stool.
How to choose a floor dryer
It is undercarriage because it is roomy, stable and foldable. Put it where you want, choose which one is looking at you - a multi-tiered model up to two meters in height, a horizontal model or a mini model on wheels.
On average, this design can hold up to 15 kg of laundry. True, sheets and duvet covers will have to be folded in several layers. But in a ventilated room, the laundry will not dry out.
Clothes dryer how to choose: 2 tips
- It is better if the whole product is made of stainless steel, and not just the frame. Because aluminum strings break over time, oxidize, rust and stain washed clothes.
- Look at the joints. It is good if the strings are attached to the rack by rolling, and the joints are hidden under a plastic pad. Then there will be no puffs on the linen.

Hinged
It is placed on a bathtub or attached to a radiator or a door. As a temporary option - good, but not convenient. You cannot hang heavy and bulky clothes on the bars, there is not enough space.
If the distance between the strings is less than 6 cm, the garment will take longer to dry and may shed if touched. The ideal distance between rows is 7-9 cm.
Wall-ceiling
The structure is fixed to the ceiling and can withstand up to 25 kg of weight. Ropes or tubes pass through the ceiling frame and are led up to a holder on the wall. The height of the tubes is adjusted with a clamp. This makes hanging the laundry easier.
You won't have to carry a stool and reach for the ropes. It is worth lowering each rope to the desired level, and then raising it to a comfortable height. So the laundry is well ventilated and dries faster.
How to choose an electric tumble dryer
In a room, a horizontal dryer, at least, clutters up the space at night, and an electric model for 2-3 hours. They are similar, but with the only difference - on the first, the clothes dry naturally, on the second - under the influence of moderate heat.
There are two types of products:
- with heating rods;
- and circulating air dryers equipped with a cover. In these, it is easier to dry shoes, pillows, toys and other things.
Wall mounted electric dryers are similar to heated towel rails. No know-how. The only thing, they "eat" electricity - this is their only drawback.
