What's an environmentally-friendly dryer?
An environmentally-friendly dryer is more than just energy-efficient. It also has a long lifespan and remains more energy-efficient over time. At Coolblue, a dryer is environmentally-friendly when it has at least a C energy label, a mid-range or high-end build quality, and a completely self-cleaning condenser.
Energy-efficient now: C energy label
The most obvious property of an environmentally-friendly dryer is that it's energy-efficient. This means that the dryer has the best energy label: a C energy label or higher. Generating electricity releases CO2. And CO2 is what causes global warming. This makes an energy-efficient dryer an environmentally-conscious choice.
Long lifespan: mid-range or high-end build quality
The longer a dryer lasts, the better it is for the environment. An environmentally-friendly dryer has a mid-range or high-end build quality. The dryer consists of high-quality and often durable materials, such as stainless steel. As a result, the dryer lasts up to 3000 cycles longer than a basic dryer. Ultimately, this means fewer new dryers and fewer raw materials are needed as a result.
Energy-efficient later: self-cleaning condenser
Basically, an old dryer consumes more energy. This is due to the lint on the condenser. Because of the lint and dirt, the dryer has to work harder, dries less well, and consumes more energy. An environmentally-friendly dryer prevents higher energy consumption by rinsing the condenser while drying.
Difference environmentally-friendly and energy-efficient
There's an important difference between an energy-efficient and an environmentally-friendly dryer. With an energy-efficient dryer, we just check whether the appliance has a C energy label or higher. An environmentally-friendly dryer is energy-efficient and durable. That's because it meets a number of conditions. The material is sturdier, so the dryer lasts longer. In addition, the dryer has at least a C energy label and a self-cleaning condenser. Thanks to this, the dryer will always dry energy-efficiently and you'll have less maintenance to do. As a result, you can use the dryer for as long as possible.
Environmentally-friendly and energy-efficient dryer
- With a C energy label, you can save up to € 450 over the lifespan.
- The self-cleaning condenser rinses automatically, which keeps the dryer energy-efficient.
- With a high-end build quality, the heat pump dryer lasts longer.
- The appliance doesn't have the Iron Assist function, so you can't reduce wrinkles with steam.
