Dehumidifier? Heated aired? Or Spin dryer? Which one to get?

[Doingprettywellthanks]

I have space for one. Looking for best dryer . Any thoughts? Many thanks

Did you get one?

Something to consider is a covered area in your garden that you can dry washing under. Sort of like a car port with a clear roof.

Would take bloomin ages in Dec, Jan and Feb… and that’s with me living in lovely mild kent!

I've just got a new 12l Meaco dehumidifier (Arête) from John Lewis.

Put it on 6 hour laundry mode, all washing dry except jeans which needed a bit longer which I air dried with the window open.

Mine costs 4p per hour to run (current tariff) so 24p

Tumble dryer is £1.30 per cycle and we often need to put it on twice.

No brainer.

Thank you

Toting with idea of 20 or 25 l

How many in your family? Was that size sufficient or with hindsight would have sized up?

I always do a second spin unless its a really good drying day and it makes a lot of difference. But we bought a dehumidifier when ds (now 16) was tiny, and it is still going strong. With things carefully hung (on the dryer edges and on a Lakeland Hangaway) to maximise the air contact, you can dry 4 loads pretty much overnight and it has a positive impact on the house as well. Plus by drying things on hangers ironing is cut out and you go direct drier to wardrobe

Dehumidifier, I've got a Meaco and it's brilliant on the laundry cycle

What size?

im going to go for a Marco but I sure of size

3 of us but a lot of washing due to both children playing lots of sport

The best thing for drying in colder weather is wind.

So you don't want a covered area as the wind can't get to your clothes.

I live on top of a rainy windy hill 🤣

Ahh you just need to keep the rain of it. 😂

I spent some of teenage years, after being made to do my own washing, working out the best drying conditions. I loved a windy dry day except when my washing blew into a neighbour's garden.
