Many dryers in our tests achieve a good overall rating. But time and again we come across models that do not pass important tests satisfactorily. Some take significantly longer than the competition, others do not dry with pinpoint accuracy in the cupboard or with ironing moisture, or do not reliably display the remaining time. The test reveals which models are worth the money - and which are not.
Product details
IonTech
Minimize creasing. Maximize freshness.
Air full of negatively charged ions dries the laundry in a way that considerably reduces creasing of your clothes. The ionizer creates an environment free of most allergens, smoke residues, pollen, and the electrostatic charge accumulated during the drying process. As a result, the clothes are easier to iron and they smell fresh.
WaveActive drum
Sensitive treatment of any garment.
The unique wave-shaped drum pattern softens the fibres for the most gentle treatment of all kinds of fabrics. You’ll have perfectly dry laundry with minimum wrinkles.
Inverter PowerDrive
Powerful, yet silent motor.
This quiet, but very efficient motor is designed for a long life of your dryer, saving energy with each cycle.
IonRefresh
Quick refreshment for your clothes.
Do you need to quickly remove odours from your clothes? With this special refresh program with ions, IonRefresh, your clothes will be ready to wear and almost as freshly washed in just 30 minutes.
Simple interface
Three steps and you are ready.
The easy-to-use interface with centrally positioned selection knob allows you to start drying in just 3 easy steps: turn on the dryer, select the programme, and press start! Without any submenus for selecting extra functions and settings, you do have the freedom to adjust the settings on the large touch interface, so you can be sure your garments will be dried just as you like it.

This dryer also excels with a "very good" drying performance, even if the standard programme takes a few minutes longer than many other models, depending on whether it is half-loaded or fully loaded (TØ: 1:37 or 2:27h).
