Capacity

The maximum amount of laundry that can be loaded into the dryer; in other words, the largest weight of laundry that the machine can efficiently process in one cycle.

Capacity is usually indicated by the weight of the dry laundry. Thanks to this, when preparing the laundry for washing, you can immediately assess whether it will fit in the dryer at a time or, on the contrary, you can get by with a small drying. However, even the most modest modern dryers (and even slim ones up to 50 cm) in most cases hold 7 kg — this is comparable to loading the drum of a medium-capacity washing machine. And in the most capacious models, this figure can reach 10 – 11 kg. It is quite enough for domestic and even professional use (for example, in laundromats or laundries of hotels, etc.). However, the typical figures are drying for 8 kg and models for 9 kg of laundry. Bigger capacity is relevant for industrial equipment and is not found in consumer-level models.

Also, when choosing, note that in the specs the maximum capacity is usually indicated for linen made of cotton fabric. For other, more voluminous materials, the capacity can be noticeably less — for example, the weight limit for wool products is usually 4-5 times less than for cotton.

Refresh cycle

A programme designed to remove odours from clothes, such as tobacco smoke, or an unpleasant odour that appears after a long period of storage. The refresh programme is useful if the clothes are clean, but the smell still needs to be eliminated — refreshing in the dryer takes less time and effort than quick washing and then drying (even if using the same dryer). This function is especially relevant for drying cabinets.

Drying class

Drying class describes the overall drying efficiency that the machine provides. It is denoted by a Latin letter, where A is the best efficiency, and further in decreasing order ( drying class B is inferior to class A, but exceeds class C). Naturally, higher efficiency machines cost more (ceteris paribus).

Controls

The type of control provided in the machine. Almost all modern dryers are equipped with electronic control, so the design of the control panel mainly depends on this parameter. The options here might be:

Rotary knob + buttons. The classic option does not lose popularity these days. The rotary knob is usually responsible for selecting the programme and the buttons for controlling additional functions and settings. Such control panels are simple, inexpensive and, at the same time, quite functional. Therefore they are found in all categories of dryers — from low-cost to top.

Rotary knob + touch controls. The combination of a rotary knob responsible for selecting the main programme and a set of touch controls that control additional parameters. Compared to the buttons described above, the touch panels have a more stylish and technological appearance; moreover, due to the absence of protruding parts, such a panel almost does not accumulate dirt and is easy to clean. At the same time, these features are generally not fundamental, while the touch controls are somewhat more complicated and expensive than buttons. Therefore, this option is found mainly among dryers of the middle and top classes.

Touch controls. This design, on the one hand, gives the device the most accurate and advanced appearance; on the other hand, the control is not as cle...ar and intuitive as with a handle. Therefore, in its pure form, touch controls are extremely rare — only in high-end dryers.
