It is difficult to find a spacious room in the apartment for this, since every square meter counts, and tumble dryers are expensive. The way out of this difficult situation will be the acquisition of a more budget option in the form of a clothes dryer.

To date, such a device as a clothes dryer in the bathroom has become very widespread. It can be found in almost any housing, as it provides high-quality and quick drying of washed items. The design of the dryers has various installation options in the bathroom.

As for the shortcomings, they are few. The main disadvantage is the fact that large models require a lot of space for installation. In addition, in cheap options, poor fastening strength, which creates a lot of problems during operation.

To increase the operational characteristics of dryers and the comfort of their use, manufacturers supplement the design with lighting, boom heating function, UVL disinfection and acceleration of the drying process using wind.

Dryers for laundry in the bathroom are represented by a huge selection of model range.All types differ in size, design, manufacturing material and equipment. So, for example, to save usable area in the room it is recommended sliding hanger or simple clothesline for drying. Owners of spacious bathrooms can afford to install floor or wall options.

The most common type of dryers are universal designs, which are a solid frame with horizontally stretched strings that can be folded out, which is very convenient. Floor views take up little space, but they are quite roomy, which allows you to dry a lot of different things. When assembled, the thickness of the device does not exceed 10 cm, so it can be easily hidden.

In great demand chrome floor dryer. Its weight is only 4 kg and it freely withstands 20 kg of wet laundry. The advantages of these models include good roominess, easy installation (there is no need to mount fixtures), and the disadvantages are that they are not recommended for small apartments, since they take up a lot of space.

On sale are often found models of dryers that are fixed to the wall. Their design is presented in the form of guides with crossbars. A wall hanger can be tensioned (the line plays the role of the crossbars in it), sliding, rotary and telescopic. The advantages of these models are reasonable price, convenience and ease of use, aesthetic appearance. Cons - mounting requires drilling walls, small capacity and light load, which cannot exceed 7 to 10 kg.

In bathrooms of any size, dryers are often installed, in which the guides are mounted directly to the ceiling. They are adjustable, the crossbar of the structures descends. The ceiling view of the dryers is placed above the bathtub so that there are no wet drops on the floor from the laundry. For small rooms, a liana dryer is recommended - it is more compact. Design Benefits - ease of use, aesthetic appearance. Disadvantages - time-consuming installation, for their installation requires a solid ceiling, which is not in the "Khrushchev"

Since most bathrooms have a small area, drying clothes in them is problematic. To handle this, portable dryers must be purchased that quickly lock onto a wall cabinet, front door, radiator, or above the bathtub.

Many manufacturers also produce folding structures in the form of an accordion, fixed to the wall. The advantages of these models include affordable price, ease of use, to the disadvantages - the lack of the ability to dry a lot of things.

Dryers, which are fixed directly to the bathroom, have proven themselves perfectly. Their design is sliding and is a folding frame with strings or iron pipes. These models can be mounted both at an angle and in a horizontal position.

In many rooms, dryers with a mechanism for attaching to the radiator are installed. Before you get a similar model, you need to correctly measure the size of the battery and make sure that the length of the dryer matches the length of the radiator. In addition, during operation, the device can quickly become unusable due to exposure to high temperature coming from the radiator.

Spacious bathrooms often have dryers that look similar to a conventional washing machine. These are models, the design of which includes a special mechanism - a drum. Compared to other types of dryers, these models quickly cope with drying things (from 30 minutes to 1 hour). The only thing is that after such drying, the laundry becomes wrinkled and it is difficult to iron it.

Dryers for linen in the bathroom are made from different materials, their strength, price and features of operation directly depend on this. The most budgetary type are rope structures. If we consider aesthetic functions, it is necessary to choose devices from the following materials.

• Aluminum. Lightweight but unstable. To protect aluminum from blackening, manufacturers cover it with a layer of polymer.
• Steel. Of this metal, not only the body of the structure, but also the strings are usually made. Such models are characterized by durability and strength, but they weigh too much and are expensive.
• Plastic. The main advantage of plastic dryers is lightness and low cost. The only thing that giving preference to such a budget option is to be prepared for the fact that it will not last long. Good for drying underwear and socks.
• Wood. Models from this natural material are the most stylish. To increase the life of wooden structures, periodically require their surface to be covered with protective equipment against moisture.

In addition to all of the above, there are also combined models that are made from several types of material. They have a good design, look great in any interior of the room, but are expensive.

Today the market is represented by a huge selection of clothes dryers from different manufacturers. Each brand produces its own unique models that are distinguished by operational characteristics, quality and price. The most popular manufacturers of devices for drying things include the following.

In addition, the middle shelf in all models can be used as an original table on which the removed linen will fit.

Special attention also deserves Chinese manufacturer Termolux, specialized in the production of folding electric dryers. The products have a standard design, consisting of a table-dryer with folding surfaces, but they dry things much faster thanks to the built-in electric heater.

The advantages of Termolux dryers include the ability to dry large items (curtains, bedding), ease of use, a good load indicator (up to 15 kg) and economical energy consumption. Such designs are sold at an affordable price. The lack of dryers - things dry out unevenly, quickly drying out at the top, but remain moist from below for a long time.

Since the market is filled with a huge assortment of clothes dryers, it is difficult to choose the right device, which would be both cheap and last a long time. If the purchase is made for the first time, then you should pay attention to the following nuances.

• The material of manufacture. Specialists recommend giving preference to steel products, as they are able to withstand heavy loads and are stable. If you choose plastic, you can save a family budget. At the same time, such models will not be able to last long.
• Versatility. The dryer should ideally fit not only in the dimensions of the bathroom, but also in the balcony, without causing discomfort to family members. If the apartment is small, then it is advisable to buy sliding models. They can be quickly closed and opened, saving room space.
• Degree of load. Most designs can withstand up to 10 kg of wet items. If they are overloaded, then the ropes can sag and break.
• Practicality and usability. The dryer should be quickly installed, foldable and compact if possible.
• Construction weight. On the product packaging, the manufacturer indicates the dimensions and mass of the dryer. Do not buy too heavy products, it will be difficult to install and move.
• The distance between ropes or rods. The higher this indicator, the more convenient it will be to hang and dry things. A standard opening between the ropes should be 9 mm. If it is smaller, then the laundry will touch each other, and the drying process will be delayed for a long time. It is undesirable to purchase dryers in which the rods are welded to the frame - they will corrode.
• The combination with the interior of the room. No matter where this device is planned to be installed, they should not spoil the design of the room. Dryers need to be selected for curtains, furniture or tiles.
• Fastening strength. It is best to choose models in which the mounts are made of metal. Many manufacturers also produce products with plastic clips. They are cheaper, but serve little.
• Availability of additional features. Many well-known brands produce dryers equipped with lighting, electric heating and the possibility of ionization of air in the room.All this makes the products versatile and practical, but their cost is quite high.
• Quality assurance. In the store where products of this type are sold, appropriate quality certificates must be provided. If they are not, then it is worth considering the feasibility of acquiring the goods.
