The heat pump in this Miele model recycles hot air to help save energy and keep your clothes looking great for a longer time. It's more expensive than a vented tumble dryer or condenser, but is worth the cost.

They're cheaper to manage
The tumble dryers that use heat utilize warm air to dry your laundry, but unlike condenser and vented tumble dryers the air used is reused instead of being thrown away. They make this happen by recycling the same warm air again and again, evaporating water during the process to give your clothes a fresh renewal. This closed-loop system uses much less energy than traditional tumble dryers however it does take a little longer to dry your clothes.
The cost of running a tumble dryer that is heated is significantly lower than that of a vented or condenser tumble dryer, even when you consider the higher price at purchase. The average annual energy cost for a vented tumble dryer is around PS1,928 however, the same size heat pump dryer will cost about PS59.
This doesn't just save money but also reduces your carbon footprint and allows you to reduce energy bills and energy consumption. Also, look out for functions that let you manage your dryer's settings, so you can optimise its efficiency further.

Some dryers with heat pumps have a lint filter as well as autoclean, which cleans the fluff from the condenser, and helps it work efficiently. This can help your machine stay in good shape for longer. Many models utilize gentler temperatures and tumbling motions, to prevent your clothes from being worn down or damaged due to frequent tumble drying in high temperatures.
It is important to sort your laundry by material prior to starting a drying cycle, as different materials have different drying times. This will reduce the energy cost and ensure that the slower drying clothing is not damaged by faster drying items. This simple trick can help you recuperate the cost of a heat-pump tumble dryer more quickly than you'd expect.
