1. Energy Savings

They're not just used to cool and Beko White Heat Pump Tumble Dryer - 9Kg homes and offices, but they're also used to dry clothes. A dryer with a heat pump that is ENERGY STAR-certified uses less electricity than a conventional dryer, saving you money on your electric bill. They operate at a lower temperature which reduces wear and tear on your clothes as well as the environment.

Heat pump washer-dryers recycle air that is used in the washing process. However, it is cooled and warmed by a condenser unit located within the evaporator. The warm air is moved into the drum to continue drying clothes. This means that the heat pump dryer won't not have to exhaust the moist air as vented dryers do.

Because the laundry process consumes substantial amounts of energy, it's worth trying to make your existing appliances as efficient as possible. The best way to do this is to pair an efficient washer with a dryer that uses a heat pump. This will enable you to ensure maximum efficiency, and begin saving money on energy immediately.

To begin, check out our selection of ENERGY STAR certified dryers and washers. You can sort results by model, energy consumption, wash cycles, or spin speed. Also, be sure to look at the yellow Energy Guide label to understand the amount each appliance will cost each year.

Combination washer-dryers can be an ideal option for households who are unable to afford two separate machines, or do not have the space. These units are plugged directly into an outlet that is 120 volts, and do not require a separate 240-volt venting or hookup. They're perfect for apartments and condos, as they'll fit inside a closet or beneath the counter.

2. Reduces Noise

The majority of traditional dryers for clothes are heated by an electric or gas coil. This helps to remove moisture from your clothes. The air is then vented out from your home, taking the conditioned air you pay to cool in summer and warm in winter. Your house has to perform overtime to make up for the loss of conditioning air by pulling in replacement air from gaps and cracks in your walls and around doors.

Heat pump washer dryers transfer humidity from one place to another, instead of heating it and then venting it. This is great for homeowners with homes that aren't big enough to accommodate the additional air flow. It's also possible to install dryer/washer combination units in places where they wouldn't normally be able to place a vented dryer, such as under stairs without sacrificing energy efficiency or performance.

While this is a major benefit of all-in-one drying and washing machines, they aren't without their disadvantages. It is important to allow sufficient time for each load because all-in-one machines take longer to complete their cycles than traditional dryers or washers. Combining two appliances can also limit the amount of laundry that you can do in one go, as it takes longer to dry your whites and colors than they would when they were separate machines.

Thankfully, many manufacturers are beginning to solve these issues by offering simple solutions. LG's top-rated washer-dryer combo includes the option to prop the door slightly open while it is running to prevent water pooling and drying the drum. Many LG models, like our top pick, feature an insignificant drainage hole in the bottom laundry tub, which allows water to drain rather than pooling. You can also buy sound blankets that fit around your heat pump to minimize noise.

3. Reduces wear and tear

The heat pump dryers don't warm the air, like traditional dryers. They just remove moisture from clothing. This is much gentler on fabrics. This helps conserve energy since it doesn't have to burn energy heating the air for the drying process.

However, they do require a bit more maintenance than standalone dryers because the condensate drain pipe has to be cleaned regularly to prevent obstructions. However, this isn't that much different than cleaning a regular dryer.

Heat pump washer-dryer combinations do not vent. This means you can use them in your home without having to cut into the exterior wall for ductwork. This is great for those who live in apartments or college students, as well as other people who don't wish to spend more money or modify their living space.

These dryers dry clothes more slowly than traditional dryers because they don't get as hot. This is one reason why many people have been hesitant to accept them, but manufacturers have improved their technology over time. A heat-pump dryer on our top dryer list --the LG Signature LUWM101HWA--has typical dry times of 37 to 70 minutes.

The most important thing to reduce drying time is to avoid overdoing the amount of detergent, which could cause excessive suds that prolongs cycles and leaves a slimy residue on clothes (readers write us frequently about this issue). Make sure you use the recommended amount of high-efficiency detergents, and keep the dispenser drawer clean. This will ensure that the machine operates as efficiently as possible saving your energy and money.

4. Reduces Lint

When you're drying your clothes, a heat pump tumble dryers pump dryer makes use of less air than vented electric or vented gas dryers. This is due to the fact that it doesn't blow hot, humid, air into your laundry, but instead extracts vapor at room temperature from the air around your clothes. The steam is then heated by your dryer to evaporate the moisture out of your clothes, making this type of dryer a lot more energy-efficient.

Because of this efficiency, a heat pump washer dryer isn't as heavy as a traditional vented gas or electric dryer, but it still weighs about 88 lbs. That can make a difference if you plan to put it on the wall or use it in a space that may not be large enough to accommodate a vent.

Lint buildup is a major issue for all dryers. However, the heat pump dryer's lower temperatures reduce the amount of dust that can block the exhaust, preventing the clothes from drying to their full potential. That also lowers the risk of a fire in your dryer or its exhaust, which could occur when solvents and oils that are flammable from your laundry are absorbed into the vent or Candy 9kg Heat Pump Dryer - WIFI enabled the dryer's evaporator.

Clean your dryer ducts at minimum once a month to reduce the accumulation of lint (more often if there are pets or children in the house). You can make use of a leaf blower, or a wire brush to remove any lint in between the ridges of the hose of accordion. It's safer to clean it outside than inside.

To avoid drying out, make sure to use a detergent with low suds and follow the manufacturer's instructions on how to set the water level. Separate your laundry according to kind of fabric and wash delicates like silk with heavy cottons as well as linens. You won't overdye, shrink or over-dry your delicates, and the moisture sensor will be able to determine when your laundry is dry enough to stop the cycle.

5. Space Savings

They consume less energy as they recycle and reuse hot aer. This could help you save money on utility bills, but also on the energy cost to heat or cool your home.

This method is more gentle on fabrics and reduces shrinkage, which is a big benefit when dealing with expensive clothing. It also means that you don't have to replace lint-clogged dryer vents and reduces the energy use that conventional dryers use to warm air before it is able to enter the dryer and helps to keep your heating and cooling costs down.
