Vented Tumble Dryers
Vented tumble dryers offer simple, fast drying and can still be a practical choice where an external vent is already installed. However, they use considerably more energy than modern heat pump tumble dryers, so for most households we now recommend choosing a heat pump model instead.
New energy-efficiency regulations are also phasing out traditional vented and condenser tumble dryers, reflecting the move towards much more efficient heat pump technology.
Using your tumble dryer in a garage?
One reason customers have traditionally chosen a vented dryer is for use in a garage or outbuilding, where low winter temperatures can cause problems for some heat pump models.
There is now an alternative. Selected Beko heat pump tumble dryers with DryGuard technology are designed to operate in temperatures as low as 0°C on selected everyday programmes, making them an excellent option for garages and other colder spaces.
A heat pump dryer uses significantly less electricity by recovering and reusing heat during the drying process, helping to reduce running costs while providing gentler care for your clothes.
