Compare tumble dryers

Decide between vented, condenser and heat-pump drying before comparing capacity. The right choice depends on installation, drying frequency and how quickly you need loads finished.

Check these before ordering

  • Vented, condenser or heat-pump design
  • Drum capacity relative to the washing machine
  • Vent route, water container or drain connection
  • Energy label, sensor drying and programme time
