With winter comes shorter and cooler days, making it more difficult to get clothes dry on an outdoor line. A standard dryer will do the job, but a clothes dryer can be more than a noisy machine that blows hot air on clothes while spinning them around. In fact, the right dryer can be an attractive and efficient appliance that saves you time and money.
Perhaps you need to replace an ailing dryer, or are just wondering if yours is the best fit for your family’s needs. Have a look at these hot options and keep your laundry in good order this winter.
Condenser dryers
Condenser dryers use a heat exchange system to extract moisture from the exhaust air and collect it or drain it away. This means the exhaust air is warm, but not as moist as that from a traditional vented dryer. A condenser dryer won’t leave the walls dripping, which makes them ideal for any space.
The ASKO condenser dryer comes with the SensiDry system, which detects when your clothes are dry and switches the machine off automatically, saving you time and money.
It also features the Butterfly drying system, where two paddles gently move clothes in a figure-eight motion, allowing air to circulate evenly through them. This action places less strain on the motor and belt of the dryer, and reduces bundling and creasing of your clothes.
With a choice of nine programs and capacity of up to 8kg, the ASKO condenser dryer is the perfect choice if you’re looking for a long-lasting machine with premium features and a stunning Scandinavian design to complement any laundry.
Heat pump dryers
The technology used in heat pump dryers make them some of the most energy efficient in the world, meaning you save money (and help the environment) with every use.
Using the same heat exchange principles as a reverse-cycle air conditioner, heat pump dryers not only condense and remove moisture, they don’t vent any heated air into your laundry. Instead, heated air is trapped and recirculated. So not only is your laundry kept dry, it won’t heat up either, so they are great in smaller spaces where ventilation might be a problem.
While they are a bit more expensive to buy, heat pump dryers use around 63 percent less energy than an equivalent vented dryer. With rising energy costs, this style of dryer is increasingly popular.
ASKO’s range of heat pump dryers all have a six star energy rating. Available in front and top-loading models, with capacities of up to 10 kg, they feature SensiDry and Butterfly drying technology.
All ASKO dryers come with a double lint filter, which prevents lint from collecting, improving not only efficiency, but also the longevity of the machine. They also have the option of left or right hanging doors, giving you the flexibility to choose what works best in your laundry.
Every model encompasses the Scandinavian-inspired ideals of beauty and functionality. Their minimalist design and premium quality help make your laundry an efficient and pleasurable working space.
Drying cabinet
ASKO’s drying cabinet is a unique product on the Australian market and, once you’ve had one around, you’ll wonder how you coped without it.
A truly versatile product, the drying cabinet can be used alone, or in combination with a tumble dryer. Featuring 16 metres of hanging space, the cabinet replicates the outside drying environment by gentling circulating warm air around hanging clothes.
No need to worry about wet weather or soaked shoes, hats or school bags — the drying cabinet offers the ability to dry a wide range of items, without needing to set foot outside.
The drying cabinet significantly reduces creasing compared to a tumble dryer, so it’s ideal for business wear, school uniforms and formal attire. If you dislike ironing, this is the perfect choice for you. Its energy efficiency also makes it a great choice for the environmentally-conscious buyer.
With its compact design, it frees up space, keeping your laundry tidy and organised. With ASKO’s trademark Scandinavian-inspired clean lines, the drying cabinet creates a sleek and seamless laundry decor.
