Whirlpool Tumble Dryers

You’re checking around for a new clothes dryer, and you’ve heard some good things about the Whirlpool tumble dryers. But like any smart shopper, you want to make sure you are getting a good deal, and that it’s the right appliance for you and your needs.

That being the case, you’ve come to the right place – let’s talk about the Whirlpool tumble dryers.

Anatomy of a Dryer

Whirlpool makes two basic kinds of tumble dryer, and which one you choose depend on your needs, and the place where you plan to put the tumble dryer.

First, there is something called a vented tumble dryer. In this kind, hot air is funneled into the rotating drum. The clothes are warmed by the air and thus dried. But what happens to the water in the clothes? As they are dried, the vent sucks the humidity out, through a duct, and into the open.

The second kind of dryer is called a condenser. What happens here is that the humid air tracks though some hoses, cools down and turns into water. The water then is released manually (like into a sink) or through outlet hoses.

Vented dryers are typically less expensive, but need a duct to funnel the humid air out into the atmosphere. They can usually also handle larger loads. Condenser dryers usually cost more, but they can fit into places where there is no ductwork.

Now that you know the difference, let’s talk about some of the Whirlpool tumble dryers that are available.
