Can I stack my clothes dryer on top of a front load washing machine?

Because washing machines are much heavier, they must always go on the bottom of the stack. You can stack your condenser dryer on top provided it’s the correct size and weight.

Are clothes dryers energy efficient?

Heat pump tumble-dryers like the Electrolux 8kg– are the most energy-efficient kind, while vented and condenser alternatives are less so.

If you’re concerned about your potential energy consumption, check the energy ratings of each product for a more precise measure of energy efficiency.

Is a heat pump dryer good for an apartment?

Heat pump dryers are ideal for apartments because they don’t have a vent or hose, as vented dryers do. This means they don’t have to be placed near a vent or window.

You’ll just need to occasionally empty the water tank to prevent a residue buildup.

When should I replace my clothes dryer?

On average, the majority of these products last between 10 and 14 years. After this time, you’ll start to notice performance issues which will indicate that it’s time for a new vented or heat pump dryer.

How do you maintain a clothes dryer?

To maintain peak performance, clean your appliance’s lint screen after every load has finished. Regularly wipe the interior clean with a cloth, and be sure to check the vent and exterior exhaust once in a while.
