Marks & Spencer Tumble Dryers
Having a separate tumble drier is useful if you have little or no outdoor space to dry clothes or you need dry clothes in a hurry. Full sized dryers are the same size as washing machines, so it is possible to stack them on top of one another to save space, but if you’re going to stack it’s a good idea to measure your ceiling height prior to purchase.
TYPES OF TUMBLE DRYERS
There are two types of tumble drier: vented or condenser. Condenser dryers can be positioned anywhere. They do not require ducting as the water is collected in an integral reservoir that will need to be emptied regularly. There are two types of tumble drier: vented or condenser. A vented version discharges damp air via a hose that can be vented through an open window or an external wall using a ducting kit that must be purchased separately. Vented driers are cheaper than condensers but must be installed near a window or ducted through an external wall which can be limiting.
During the final stages of drying, most machines will switch off their heating elements and just allow the clothes to spin through the gradually cooling air. This is energy efficient and prevents static shock when unloading clothes.
The amount of drying time can be selected on all models. Most have two heat settings, one for cottons and one for synthetics but premier models may offer further options for delicates.
A cool air setting can be used to air fabrics that have been stored away for some time.
Some models have reverse tumble features that roll the drum both ways, pausing between changes of directions. This promotes faster and more even drying and prevents clothes getting too tangled and creased during the cycle.
Intermittent tumble options will spin the drum occasionally after a cycle is finished if clothes aren’t removed from the machine. This keeps them aired and prevents extra creasing and tangling.
