Clothes dryers are being chosen by many urban families to make washing more convenient, less dependent on the weather. However, there are still concerns that make this device not really popular. Let's find out more through this article.
Concerned about electricity costs
Consuming electricity is the biggest concern of consumers when deciding to switch to using a dryer. However, unlike the misconception of most consumers, the cost of electricity to use a clothes dryer is actually not too high. With conventional thermal dryers, the power consumption for each drying is in the range of 1.3 to 2.5 electric numbers. With an average price of about 2,000 VND each, the total monthly cost for the dryer is only about 30,000 - 40,000 VND, equal to 1/4 of the average electricity consumption of a refrigerator and 1/8 of an air conditioner. This is a very small number compared to the outstanding benefits that the dryer brings.
With a dryer, we can dry clothes quickly without having to worry about bacteria and dirt from the outside sticking to it. In addition, the dryer also helps to dry clothes no longer depending on the weather, as well as ensuring the aesthetics of the living space, especially for households in apartments.
Increasingly improved drying technology saves electricity
From the needs of consumers, technology companies are constantly researching to develop dryers with less energy consumption. There are 3 popular dryer lines on the market: vented dryer, condenser dryer and heat pump dryer. These three lines have different operating mechanisms, so the power consumption is significantly different.
Resistive heating vented and condenser dryers. The blower blows through the resistor bar to push hot air into the drying chamber, helping the water in the clothes to evaporate faster. The heating element on these two dryers consumes more power than the other, which is a heat pump dryer.
Instead of using a heating resistor, a heat pump dryer is equipped with a compressor that uses gas in a high-pressure environment, to create a stream of hot air to help dry clothes. Since the compressor requires less energy to heat up than the conventional resistor unit, the heat pump dryer is considered to be much more energy efficient than the two types of dryers mentioned above. In particular, in high-end models such as LG DUAL Inverter Heat Pump™, the dryer is also equipped with up to 2 compressor motors, thereby increasing operability, reducing noise, as well as saving electricity costs. month up to 65%. Under test conditions, the LG dryer consumes less than 1 amount of electricity after each operation.
LG DUAL Inverter Heat Pump™ dryer - more than a dryer
Not only drying clothes, LG DUAL Inverter Heat Pump™ also offers users many advanced features. With low-temperature drying technology and many drying modes to meet the needs of consumers, the machine helps protect clothes, reduce wrinkles and minimize shrinkage.
The environment is increasingly polluted, users are facing a lot of invisible "enemies" such as bacteria, viruses, using a dryer instead of drying traditional clothes outdoors is the optimal solution. LG DUAL Inverter Heat Pump™ dryer with integrated Allergy Care Mode kills 99.9% of bacteria and allergens, protecting family health.
This is also the only machine on the market that integrates a dual lint filter, with an automatic cleaning condenser, users do not need to spend time cleaning the condenser periodically.
