Although winter has not yet officially arrived, the significant Yura rains that will accompany us this week remind us that it is time to get ready and say goodbye not only to the short and light clothing items, but also to the clothesline that we used during the summer months.
The first heavy rains that fell in November turned the clothes dryer into one of the popular electrical appliances that will star this winter in many homes in Israel.
Data from GfK Israel for Beko, the home appliance brand, reveal that in 2021 there was a 162% increase in the purchase of clothes dryers compared to the summer months (May to August) and the winter months (November to February).
"Similar to previous winters, we recognize an increase in demand for the winter. Although the Israeli winter is not similar to the one in Europe, local consumers also use the clothes dryer a lot during the cold season, which optimizes household chores and frees up quality time for himself and his family," explains

The green: the one who cares for the environment
So what types of dryers are there?
The experts of Beko, the European brand of electrical appliances, put us in order:
washer dryers with a heat pump (Heat-Pump) have several notable advantages, which are reflected in the preservation of the environment and in the pockets of consumers.
Heat-pump technology allows drying laundry efficiently through drying at lower temperatures and reuse of hot air, so that on the one hand there is a reduction in energy consumption and savings on electricity expenses at home on the other.

Fast and free: condenser washer dryer (condenser)
If you belong to the category of consumers who like appliances with advanced technologies, you will probably like the condensing washer dryers.
These devices dry very quickly, but on the other hand they also consume a lot of energy, which may increase the amount on the electricity bill. Another advantage of the condensing dryers is the fact that there is no need for an external pipe, so you are not dependent on a final location in the house and can connect it to any electrical outlet. Even in the kitchen.
In dryers of this type, the dirty water drains into an installed tank, which you must empty from time to time.

The economical: ventilated washer dryer
This type of clothes dryer will appeal to those who are interested in complete and excellent drying, but are limited and short in terms of budget.
The ventilated clothes dryers release a large amount of moist air, and therefore require an external pipe that goes into a built-in hole in the wall facing outside the walls of the house, in order not to encounter particularly unwanted results such as fungi, mold and mildew coming from the humidity of the air.

The size matters: small, medium or large
Another criterion you must take into account, especially if you are the parents of soldiers when choosing a dryer, is the size of the dryer:
a small washer dryer:
if you live alone, in a partnership or with a partner - we recommend that you prefer a washer dryer with a small capacity.
The same goes for couples, families with two children or those who don't use the dryer often, and put a limited number of items in each use.
how small
A dryer with a capacity of up to about 7 kg (which can hold, for example, about 17 towels) may be enough for you.
Medium washer dryer: Medium
capacity washer dryers are suitable for larger families, and for people who operate the dryer on a daily basis. A medium washer dryer reaches a capacity of between 7 and 9 kg, when its capacity is around 20 towels per session.
A large bowl dryer
