Vented dryers
Why did Coolblue stop selling vented dryers?
As you know, Coolblue has 1 goal: making customers happy. We do this by helping you make the right choice for a dryer. In addition to creating a smile, we also like to think about the environment. That's why we no longer sell vented dryers. These dryers have a C energy label and use the most energy: € 153.60 annually on average. This is almost 3 times as much as the energy consumption of an A+++ heat pump dryer.
What should you buy?
Instead of a vented dryer, you now have a choice between a condenser dryer or a heat pump dryer. The drain method only works slightly differently. With a condenser and heat pump dryer, the moisture from your laundry ends up in a reservoir. It's important that you empty it often. If you don't feel like doing this, connect a condensation drain hose to the water drain. Because of this, you'll never have to empty the condenser reservoir. Although the dryers work the same, they also have differences. You can find this in the table below.
Condenser dryers vs. heat pump dryers
| Condenser dryers | Heat pump dryers | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Drain options | Condenser reservoir/condensation drain hose | Condenser reservoir/condensation drain hose | |
| Purchase price | Average | High | |
| Energy consumption | High | Low | |
| Drying temperature | High | Low | |
| Better for your laundry | No (due to high temperature) | Yes (due to low temperature) |
Conclusion
Save energy with a heat pump dryer
Do you prefer an energy-efficient dryer that's good for your clothes and the environment because of the low temperature? Buy a heat pump dryer with an A+++ energy label or higher. This is the most energy-efficient dryer there is. You can save up to € 115 on your annual energy costs this way.
Energy-efficient and fast
Do you want to dry energy-efficiently and extra quickly? Choose a heat pump dryer with a 'fast' speed class. These dryers dry faster than the average dryer. That way, you save energy and time.
