*Overview of the best according to the editors of Healthy Food Near Me. About selection criteria. This material is subjective, is not an advertisement and does not serve as a guide to the purchase. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

Although drying clothes after washing seems to be an elementary task, in fact, many people are faced with the fact that things do not dry for a long time and, due to prolonged humidity, they begin to smell unpleasant. We have prepared a rating of the 17 best dryers that will not only help maintain the quality of things, but will also be as convenient as possible to use.

How to choose

When choosing a dryer, the following criteria must be considered:

1. Dimensions. It is important that the dryer takes up a minimum of space. For example, vertical structures are suitable for small rooms.

2. Quantity and type of linen. If the family is large, you need to focus on dryers that can withstand a large load, for example, 20-30 kg. If only bed linen will be dried, the height of the structure, as well as the length and thickness of the knitting needles, are taken into account. For convenient drying of small pieces of clothing, you should choose options with additional hanging sections or special hooks.

3. Material of manufacture. Dryers are available in steel, plastic or aluminum. Steel structures offer long service life and resistance to rust, but at a higher cost. Plastic dryers are the cheapest, but they have the shortest lifespan. If you choose aluminum options, you need to consider the presence of an anti-corrosion coating, because this material is subject to oxidation. It is also important to remember that aluminum structures deform over time under the weight of sheets and duvet covers. You also need to pay attention to the material of the crossbars. Most dryers have metal ones, but there are also rope rods that cannot withstand a lot of weight.

4. number of rods, levels and drying zones – affects how much can be dried at the same time.

5. Distance between crossbars. This indicator affects the quality of drying. If the needles are closer than 6 cm, then wet clothes will touch, preventing air flow. The optimal distance is 8-9 cm, when you can safely hang blankets and a blanket without worrying that they will not dry out.

6. Features. For example, wheels make it easy to move the dryer, plastic pads on the base protect against damage to parquet or laminate. Dedicated hanger areas make it easy to dry dyno items. It is also worth paying attention to the package, it may additionally include clothespins or special clamps to prevent folding things, etc.

7. Average cost, on which the availability of the dryer depends.
