Inverter motor

The presence of an inverter motor in the design of the dryer.

An inverter motor is a motor whose power and speed can be smoothly and accurately adjusted — in contrast to a conventional electric motor, in which adjustments are made in steps. However, the main advantages of machines with this function are low energy consumption and noise level. In addition, inverter motors have relatively few moving parts, which has a positive effect on reliability and durability. Their disadvantages are high price and difficulty in repair.

Quick dry

Quick dry programme that dries in a relatively short time. It saves time, but the laundry wears out more than during normal drying and is not suitable for delicate types of fabric.

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.

Condensate tank volume

Only condenser dryers have such a tank (see "Drying type"). The larger the tank, the less often you have to get rid of the accumulated liquid. At the same time, in most models, the volume of the condensate tank is standard — about 5 – 6 litres: this is considered the best compromise between capacity and dimensions.

Child lock

It is a dryer control blocking system. Thus, the child will not be able to change the running programme of the machine, stop the programme prematurely, etc. Child lock is usually disabled in a way that is not accessible to a child, but does not cause difficulties for an adult. For example, by simultaneously pressing two keys.
