BEKO DCY 7402 GB5

Alena Nikolaevna

Date of acquisition: July 2013

Advantages: roomy, you can dry all bedding at once, low price.

Disadvantages: after drying there are foreign odors, even fabric softener does not help.

BEKO DCY 7402 GB5 In my life I would never buy an electric dryer, but an urgent need arose, since my husband and I moved to a new apartment, and its windows overlook a wide street. You can dry your laundry on the balcony, but after that it becomes saturated with exhaust gases, and drying it in the room is not an option - there is dampness. I accidentally saw how a dryer works in an advertisement and wanted one for myself.

In general, I am satisfied with its work; it can dry 7 kg of laundry at once. There are gentle drying modes suitable for wool and silk. The price tag is reasonable; we got it on sale for $350. The price of similar models from other manufacturers is $50,000 – $600. The only thing I don’t like is the unpleasant plastic smell of the laundry when you take it out of the dryer. At first I thought it was because the electric dryer was new, but it looks like it’s permanent. I don’t consider this a significant disadvantage, since the smell goes away after ironing.

Important! Beko dryers are among the cheapest, although their quality is quite acceptable.

BEKO DPS 7205 GB5

Alexandra Ivanova

Date of acquisition: January 2015

Advantages: the dryer is installed on top of a regular machine, the laundry does not wrinkle after drying.

Disadvantages: it smells strongly of plastic, few synthetic and combined items can be dried at one time, although the manufacturer claims a load of 7 kg.

I like washer-dryers, I wanted just such a machine, with both a washer and a dryer “in one bottle,” but it’s a pity to sell my old Miele. It washes so well, and you don’t know what kind of new one you’ll get. In the end, I decided to keep the washing machine and additionally buy a BEKO DPS 7205 GB5 drying machine; I placed the two appliances side by side, although there was an opportunity to stack them on top of each other. It’s quite convenient, you take the laundry out of the washing machine, put it in the dryer and after a couple of hours everything dries.

I thought that the dryer would wrinkle and spoil the clothes, but no, nothing like that, things are easy to iron after drying. True, they stink quite strongly of phenols and some other chemicals, sometimes you even have to hang things in the room for ventilation, but this is still better than drying clothes on a polluted street.

SIEMENS WT 46B211 OE

Anna Matveeva

Date of acquisition: October 2014

Advantages: dries well and quickly, easy to handle, most items do not need to be ironed.

Disadvantages: Takes up a lot of space together with the washing machine.

SIEMENS WT 46B211 OE This is my first dryer and I couldn't be happier. Previously, you had to hang clotheslines all over the house, but now drying is a pleasure. The drum is roomy, as much as 8 kg, the laundry that has accumulated over the week can fit in all at once. As the manager advised when purchasing, I figured out all the drying modes and now I dry various things without fear.

What pleased me more than anything else was the ironing function. I hate ironing, ironing and everything connected with it. But now, after drying again, there is no need to iron bed linen and much else. I only have to iron shirts, T-shirts and trousers, but these are minor things. I recommend this model to everyone, of course it’s a little expensive, for the SIEMENS WT 46B211 OE you’ll have to pay about 60,000 rubles, but it’s worth it.

Victoria Peresvetova

Date of acquisition: September 2013

Pros: easy ironing, includes a lot of laundry

Disadvantages: Electricity bills

A wonderful, but rather expensive addition to a washing machine. I’m used to counting money, so if it weren’t for small children and dampness in the room, I would never have given so much money even for such a useful unit. Objectively, the dryer is indeed very useful for families with small children, as it quickly dries and disinfects baby diapers, so that they hardly need to be ironed. The drying machine is very convenient, but you have to pay for convenience. Previously, we produced 300 kW per month, now it’s more than 400 kW.

Recently there has been an unpleasant musty smell coming from the dryer drum. I called the technicians, apparently, there is mold somewhere inside the device, they will come to take a look in the next few days. I hope nothing serious happened, it would be a shame if it breaks completely.

BOSCH WTW85560OE

Sergey Chelobanov

Date of acquisition: February 25, 2014

Advantages: no need to hang laundry outside, all things dry very quickly and carefully.

Disadvantages: too difficult to use.

BOSCH WTW85560OE When the crisis struck, in order not to lose my hard-earned money, I spent all my savings on various household appliances and bought a good, expensive dryer from Bosch. For that kind of money, she just doesn’t fly into space. A bunch of smart modes for drying a wide variety of fabrics. The first experience of use was unsuccessful, I burned my new shirt, and had to figure out the drying modes. I can’t be called technically advanced; I’m good with any equipment. And I didn’t get the dryer right away, but after studying the instructions, I now deftly use most of the programs.

With a dryer, the amount of laundry that needs to be ironed has greatly decreased, and this saves an extra 1.5-2 hours a week. The dryer cost me 80,000 rubles, I’m quite happy with the purchase, rating 5+.

Elena Alexandrovna

Date of acquisition: August 2015

Advantages: it dries a lot of laundry, things smell nice after drying.

Disadvantages: noisy.

I was interested in buying a BOSCH dryer, I saw one from a friend, I really liked it. I used to be skeptical about this technique, because my mother had the imprudence to buy a dryer from an Italian manufacturer, and then did not know where to dispose of it, because it smelled strongly of plastic and often broke down. BOSCH WTW85560OE is something completely different. Things smell very nice after it, no need to take out and empty jars of water. Universal design, it fit right into our bathroom, I was really surprised.

Frankly, I expected more from such an expensive technology. It rumbles like a tractor during the spin cycle, although the manufacturer claims the noise level is no higher than 65 dB, it feels like more than 65 dB, although I didn’t measure it. I had to buy one for it anti-vibration mat, it's gotten a little better, but the sound is still annoying. By the way, our LG washing machine is also loud when spinning at maximum speed, but drying should, by definition, be quieter, in short, it’s not clear.

Note! According to several ratings compiled by the public organization Guild of Masters, BOSCH WTW85560OE is the best clothes dryer of 2015.

LG F12U2HDM1N

LG F12U2HDM1N Sergei Kolomiets

Date of acquisition: June 2014

Advantages: combination of washing machine and dryer, built-in.

Disadvantages: The dryer has limited functionality and is not suitable for some fabrics.

My wife demanded that I buy a dryer in addition to our washing machine, I made excuses for the time being, saying it was too expensive, and then suddenly our machine broke down. The prospect of double spending did not make me happy at all, but then in the store I caught my eye on the LG F12U2HDM1N with a dryer. What’s tempting is that I paid 50,000 for 1 piece of equipment and immediately received a washer and dryer. I persuaded my wife and bought it. I immediately liked the fact that the machine takes up little space, washes and spins quite well, the seller stated that this series is built-in models, although we do not need this.

There were some problems with drying, we still need to get used to it. After several experiments we got used to it and now we dry many things directly in the machine. The drying function is not at all suitable for delicate items, this upset my wife a little, but overall the machine is very good for the money. The LG F12U2HDM1N washer-dryer is a good choice.

Important! Any washer-dryer will dry clothes worse than a dedicated dryer.

In conclusion, we note that summarizing the reviews we have presented, we can come to the conclusion that dryers and washer-dryers are quite expensive, but very convenient equipment.The greatest number of positive reviews were received by equipment produced under the brands LG, Siemens and Bosch.
