Who Makes The Best Cheap Vented Dryers?
Vented dryers are speedy and affordable, and ideal for cost-conscious buyers. Just keep in mind that they do use more energy so are best suited to smaller households and the occasional user.
Leading brands such as Haier , Westinghouse , Electrolux and Fisher & Paykel offer low-price and mid-range vented dryer bargains with top flight features. “Look out for anti-crease cycles that cut down on ironing, wall mounting kits to optimise your laundry layout, and sensor dry tech that calculates the precise time your garments need to dry so you’re not burning unnecessary electricity or damaging your favourite outfits by overheating them,” says Peter Simic.

Who Makes The Best Cheap Condenser Dryers?
If you’re a frequent dryer user and don’t have a well-ventilated laundry, you may have decided that a condenser dryer is your best bet. They are cheaper to run and convert moisture from your wet clothes back into water (which is drained) instead of steam. This means your laundry won’t get clammy or mouldy. Well-respected appliance brands such as Haier and Fisher & Paykel can set you up with a great value condenser dryer with many of the same smart features you’d expect in a next-gen dryer, without the upfront costs.
“We’re talking about sensor dry technology and time delay so you can schedule a cycle when energy prices are lower,” says Peter Simic. “You’ll also get multiple drying programs that deliver optimum results for everything from your precious delicates to hardy denims.”

Who Makes The Best Heat Pump Dryers?
Gone are the days when you had to raid the kids’ uni fund to enjoy the enormous energy-saving perks of a heat pump dryer. Trusted brands such as Solt , Hisense and Westinghouse now do quality, budget-friendly makes of these breakout laundry stars that work by recycling the air used during the drying process in a super-efficient closed-loop system.
For much less than you’d expect to pay, you’ll find heat pump dryers with impressive 8-star energy efficiency scores (hello, lower power bills), 30-minute express cycles for life on the run, and specialist programs to remove allergens from your clothes or refresh your favourite frocks between washes.
