What Size Tumble Dryer Do I Need for My Family?
Choosing the right tumble dryer size depends on how many people live in your household and how much laundry you typically do each week. Here’s a quick guide:
1-2 People (Smaller Households)
A 7kg capacity dryer is usually sufficient. It can handle everyday clothing, towels, and even a light bedding load.
- Great for flats or compact homes.
- Small tumble dryer models with slim depth are available and save space and energy.
3-4 People (Medium Households)
Opt for an 8-9kg tumble dryer. This size helps you manage larger weekly loads without needing multiple cycles.
- Consider a 9kg Heat Pump Tumble Dryer with SteamCure Technology to protect fabrics and reduce energy use.
- Condenser dryers are a good alternative if venting is difficult.
5+ People (Larger Households)
Families or shared homes often benefit from a 10kg+ capacity dryer to keep up with the volume.
- The 10kg Heat Pump Tumble Dryer with IronFinish™ smooths out creases and handles bulky loads with ease.
- Ideal if you regularly dry duvets, large linen loads, or multiple outfits at once.
Are All Tumble Dryers the Same Size?
Not exactly. While the external dimensions of most dryers are similar, the drum capacity varies. It’s important to choose based on how much you dry, not just what fits in your utility space.
What Are the Main Tumble Dryer Types?
Understanding the difference can help you choose wisely:
- Heat Pump: Energy efficient and gentle on clothes.
- Condenser: Easy to install with no external venting needed.
- Vented: Requires a hose to expel air outdoors.
Need More Help Choosing?
Use your household size as a starting point, then consider features like:
- Sensor Drying: Stops automatically when clothes are dry.
- Automatic Anti-Creasing Function: Reduces tangling and creases.
- Time Delay: Allows you to schedule your drying cycle at a time that suits you.
