Overall drying time
An overview of how quickly the dryer operated in all of our four different drying tests
Condensation unit efficiency
Applies to condenser dryers only. We measured how much water from the clothes the tumble driers collected.
Measured running costs
Our measurement of energy consumption across four programs. This is intended to give a more realistic indication of differences in energy use than the energy label.
Tumble dryer type
Vented dryers expel damp air, while condenser dryers collect moisture from the clothes.
Capacity of dryer (kg)
The maximum dry weight of washing that can be dried by the machine.
Sensor drying
Whether the dryer uses a sensor to tell when clothes are dry
Delayed start
Whether starting the dryer can be delayed – useful if you want to take advantage of cheap-rate electricity. If the machine will be turned on while unattended, make sure a smoke alarm is fitted nearby.
Remaining program time display
Whether the dryer displays how much time is left to run for each program
Check lint filter light
Whether the dryer tells you when to clean the lint filter
