You choose a dryer on three things: how much laundry you dry per load, where it will stand and whether there is a drain nearby. A condenser dryer collects the moisture in a reservoir and needs no drain hose or vent to the outside. That means it can stand wherever there is a socket, in the utility room, the bathroom or the attic.
What capacity do you need?
The capacity is given in kilos of dry laundry per load. Choose a dryer that can handle at least one full load from your washing machine, so you don't have to dry a wash in two goes.
The Salora DRYER75B dries 7 kg per load: a full washing machine load of towels, bedding or clothes. A 6 kg washing machine, such as the Salora WASH6W or the black Salora WASH6B, can therefore go straight into the dryer in one go. The DRYER75B is white, so it matches the white WASH6W.
Spin the laundry well before it goes into the dryer. Laundry that has been spun better needs less drying time. The WASH6W spins at up to 1000 rpm.
How a condenser dryer works
A condenser dryer removes the moisture from your laundry and collects it as water in a reservoir. You empty that reservoir into the sink after every load.
The advantage is mainly in where you can put it. You need no drain hose and no hole in the wall, so you decide where it goes. If you move house or rearrange the utility room, you can move it just as easily to another spot with a socket.
Placement and stacking
Dimensions. The DRYER75B is 59.6 cm wide, 52.3 cm deep and 84.5 cm tall and weighs 32.5 kg.
Stacking on the washing machine. With a separate stacking kit, you can put the dryer on top of a 60 cm wide washing machine. That way the pair take up only one footprint. You can read how to do this step by step in installing a washing machine and stacking a dryer on top.
Noise. While drying, the DRYER75B measures 65 dB, noise class C. If it stands in a room with a door, such as a utility room or bathroom, you will hardly hear it in the rest of the house.
Controls and programmes
Fifteen programmes. For cotton, synthetics and more delicate laundry, so you choose per load how dry it should come out.
Delayed start up to 23 hours. You set when the dryer starts, so the laundry is done when you are home, or it runs at a time that suits you.
Child lock. The child lock locks the controls while a programme is running.
Rotary knob and buttons. You choose the programme with the rotary knob and adjust the rest with the buttons.
Maintenance that makes the difference
A few regular tasks keep your dryer drying well:
Clean the lint filter after every load. On the DRYER75B you take the filter out at the front. A clean filter keeps the airflow clear.
Empty the reservoir after every load. Then the dryer is ready for the next load.
Wipe the moisture sensors regularly. The sensors measure when the laundry is dry. Limescale and fabric softener residue can form a layer that disrupts that measurement. Wipe them with a cloth and a little vinegar.
Rinse the condenser. With a condenser dryer, you usually take the condenser out of the appliance and rinse it under the tap. How often is stated in the manual.
You can find all dryers and washing machines currently available under washing and drying.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a drain hose?
No. The water goes into a reservoir that you empty after every load, so you can put the DRYER75B anywhere there is a socket.
Can the dryer go on top of my washing machine?
Yes. That is possible with a separate stacking kit. At 59.6 cm wide, the DRYER75B fits on a 60 cm wide washing machine.
My laundry doesn't come out of the dryer properly dry. What can I do?
First clean the lint filter and wipe the moisture sensors with a cloth and a little vinegar. Then rinse the condenser as described in the manual.
Can I have the dryer start later?
Yes. With delayed start you can set the DRYER75B up to 23 hours in advance. Fill it in the evening and set it so the laundry is dry when you need it.
How quickly will it arrive?
Ordered on working days before 21:00, it arrives within 24 hours, and delivery is always free. You get a 24-month manufacturer's warranty and a 30-day cooling-off period.
