5 Of The Best Dryers For Apartment Living

Samsung 8kg Heat Pump Dryer

Heat pump dryers are a great choice for apartments. Why? They’re energy efficient, and they don’t emit hot air or moisture – so no outdoor ventilation is required, which is perfect if you’re renting. And there’s no threat of mould or mildew either. This sleek black Samsung design is just the ticket for contemporary interiors, and it features settings for bedding, towels, delicates, iron dry and quick dry (small loads can be done in 35 minutes). It also boasts an impressive 9-star energy rating, so it protects your clothes as well as your hip pocket.
Other hot features: Sensor technology to choose the optimal setting for you, and 15 drying programs, including ‘wrinkle prevent’ for less time spent ironing. Yes!

Best for: Power bill savings, and adding a touch of black magic to interiors.

LG 10kg-6kg Combo Washer Dryer

The ultimate way to save space in an apartment is by combining your washing machine and dryer in an all-in-one washer-dryer combo. The LG 10kg-6kg Combo gives you a 10kg capacity for your washing and 6kg for drying. Intelligent Fabric Care assesses your load to automatically select the optimal wash. So easy.

Other hot features: Auto sensing technology automatically stops the machine when clothes are dry, preventing the wear and tear that comes from overdrying.
