That dryer will probably use a shocking amount of power.
Depending on local power costs a modern compressor dryer will easily pay for itself in a couple of years compared to sticking with the old one.
- leoedin 3y agoYeah, I did the maths with a heat pump drier and found it would pay for itself in electricity savings in a couple of years. And that was before the cost of electricity in the UK tripled. It uses something like 1/4 of the electricity per load, and because it's unvented all the heat remains in the building envelope.
- switch007 3y agoI have to run my heat pump dryer for about 20-30% longer, though. They seem to just think they can get away with gaslighting you about how long it takes to dry clothes. Even on "extra dry" the clothes often aren't dry. It's a fairly decent one, AEG. rrp was ~£650 IIRC
- ProllyInfamous 3y agoSimilarly, I just installed a hybrid water heater and it is incredible. My kWH usage for hotwater went from 10% monthly bill to just 3% (and the heat pump tank cools/dehumidifies the basement it's within).
- kmoser 3y agoAre you factoring in the more frequent repair costs incurred when the "smart" features fail and incapacitate the whole device?
