BEKO DCY 7402 GB5

Alena Nikolaevna

Acquisition Date: July 2013

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

Disadvantages: after drying, odors are present, even the fabric softener does not save.

I wouldn’t buy an electric dryer in my life, but there was an urgent need, as my husband and I moved to a new apartment, and her windows open onto a wide driveway. You can dry the laundry on the balcony, but after that it is saturated with exhaust gases, and drying in the room is not an option - dampness. I accidentally saw in a commercial how a dryer works and wanted one for myself.

In general, her work suits me, you can immediately dry 7 kg of linen. There are gentle drying modes suitable for wool and silk. The price tag is acceptable, we got it for shares for 35,000 rubles. The price of similar models from other manufacturers is 50,000 - 60,000 rubles. 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 this was due to the fact that the electric dryer is new, but it seems that it is forever. I do not think this is a significant minus, because after ironing the smell goes away.

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

BEKO DPS 7205 GB5

Alexandra Ivanova

Acquisition Date: January 2015

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

Disadvantages: it stinks strongly with plastic, you can dry few synthetic and combined things at a time, although the manufacturer claims a load of 7 kg.

I like washer-dryers, I wanted just such a machine to have the washer and dryer “in one bottle”, but I’m sorry to sell my old Miele. It erases so well, and the new one is not known which one will be caught. As a result, she decided to leave the washing machine, and additionally buy a BEKO DPS 7205 GB5 tumble dryer, put two devices nearby, although it was possible to put one on top of the other. Quite conveniently, you take out the laundry from the washing machine, put it in the dryer and after a couple of hours everything dries up.

I thought that the dryer would wrinkle and spoil the laundry, but no, nothing like that, things are easy to iron after drying. The truth is pretty strong stench with phenols and something else chemical, sometimes you even have to hang things in the room for ventilation, but it's still better than drying clothes on a gassed street.

SIEMENS WT 46B211 OE

Anna Matveeva

Acquisition Date: October 2014

Advantages: it dries well and quickly, easy to use, most things do not need to be ironed.

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

This is my first tumble dryer, I can’t get enough. Previously, I had to hang clothesline around the house, now drying is a pleasure. The drum is roomy, as much as 8 kg, the laundry that has accumulated over the week will climb all at once. As the manager advised when buying, I figured out all the drying modes and now I dry different things without fear.

I was more pleased with the ironing function. I hate ironing, ironing and everything connected with it. But now, after a new drying, pastel linen and many other things do not need to be ironed. Only shirts, t-shirts and trousers have to be ironed, but these are trifles. I recommend this model to everyone, a little expensive of course, for SIEMENS WT 46B211 OE you have to pay about 60,000 rubles, but it's worth it.

Victoria Peresvetova

Acquisition Date: September 2013

Pluses: easy ironing, includes a lot of linen

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 the small children and the dampness in the room, I wouldn’t have given so much money for even such a useful unit. Objectively, the tumble dryer is really very useful for families with small children, as it quickly dries and disinfects baby diapers, so they almost do not need to be ironed. The dryer is very convenient, but you have to pay for the convenience, we used to wind 300 kW per month, now more than 400 kW.

Recently, an unpleasant mold smell has appeared from the dryer drum. I called the masters, apparently, somewhere inside the device mold started, the other day they will come to watch. I hope nothing serious has happened, it will be a pity if it completely breaks.

Note! Compared to 2013-2014, prices for tumble dryers increased due to changes in the exchange rate of the dollar and the euro against the ruble.

BOSCH WTW85560OE

Sergey Chelobanov

Acquisition Date: February 25, 2014

Advantages: no need to hang clothes on the street, all things are dried very quickly and carefully.

Disadvantages: too complicated to handle.

When the crisis struck, so as not to lose “hard-earned money,” he put all his savings into various household appliances, bought a good, expensive dryer from Bosch. For that kind of money, she’s just not flying into space. A bunch of intelligent modes for drying a variety of fabrics. The first experience was unsuccessful, burned a new shirt, had to deal with drying modes. I can’t be called technically advanced, I’m on “you” with any equipment. And the dryer was not given to me immediately, but having studied the instructions, I now deftly use most of the programs.

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

Elena Alexandrovna

Acquisition Date: August 2015

Pluses: dries a lot of laundry, things smell good after drying.

Disadvantages: noisy.

I wanted to buy a BOSCH tumble dryer, I saw one from a friend, I really liked it. I used to be skeptical of such a technique, since my mother was reckless to buy a tumble dryer from an Italian manufacturer, and then I did not know where to die, because she stank of plastic and often broke. BOSCH WTW85560OE is something completely different. Things after it smell very nice, no need to take out and pour out jars of water. Universal design, it fit right into our bathroom, I was directly surprised.

Frankly, I expected more from such an expensive technology. It rumbles during the spin cycle like a tractor, although the manufacturer claims the noise level is not higher than 65 dB, it feels there is more than 65 dB, although I did not measure it. I had to buy for her anti-vibration mat, it became a little better, but still the sound infuriates. By the way, our LG washing machine, when spinning at maximum speed, is also loud, but drying should by definition be quieter, in short it’s not clear.

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

LG F12U2HDM1N

Sergey Kolomiets

Acquisition Date: June 2014

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

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

My wife demanded that I buy a dryer in addition to our washing machine, for the time being I would do it, it’s very expensive, and then suddenly our machine was covered. The prospect of double spending did not please me at all, and then in the store I caught sight of LG F12U2HDM1N with drying. And what is tempting, he gave 50,000 for 1 piece of equipment, and immediately received a washer with dryer. Persuaded his wife, bought. Immediately I liked the fact that the machine takes up little space, erases, wringes out pretty well, the seller stated that this series is a built-in model, although we do not need it.

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

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

In conclusion, we note, summarizing the reviews we submitted, we can conclude that tumble dryers and washer-dryers are quite expensive, but very convenient equipment. The greatest number of positive reviews was awarded to equipment manufactured under the brand of LG, Siemens and Bosch.
