Clothes Dryers: A Comparison of Electrolux and Whirlpool

Electrolux Vs. Whirlpool Clothes Dryers: Is there a clear winner?

Are the Electrolux and Whirlpool clothes dryers two similar appliances?  If you don’t know the answer, then precisely why would you buy one as opposed to the other? Hence the need for this post, which we hope help you to compare features, and price of each dryer to make the best buying decision.   If you are not in the market for a clothes dryer right now, read on anyway.  The information is fun to read through, and may even become relevant later.

Electrolux Clothes Dryers: (Click HERE for a selection).  Electrolux clothes dryers boast a very quiet operation along with quick drying times

Each version will naturally comport to different abilities and features, but in the main, these dryers are all very fast.  The majority of your clothing will dry in as little as 18 minutes in this clothes dryer.  This might be of great concern if you are strapped for time or if you just want to get today’s laundry out-of-the-way in a hurry.

The luxury models offer a hi-tech dry system that helps protect the fabric of your delicate clothes, so that they last longer.  Electrolux makes sturdy and well-designed clothes dryers that customers have relied on for years.

The quiet operation of the Electrolux model makes it suitable for any laundry site.  When you retire to your sitting room after putting on a load of clothes to dry, it won’t seem as if the clothes dryer is in there with you.  Many new homes today have a main floor laundry area (often) without doors.  For these homes, Electrolux model clothes dryers might be worth taking a second look.

Whirlpool Clothes Dryers: (Click HERE for a selection). The first thing you want to notice here is the large drum size.  Indeed, our research Whirlpool offers perhaps the largest drum size available for any dryer regardless of the manufacturer.  The make some seriously monster clothes dryers, so if you have lots of bedding and other large items to wash often, then you should find something suitable in the Whirlpool line.

In addition, Whirlpool offers several models with the marvelous “steam refresh” cycle and even a spot removal cycle, so it does not fall short on technology.  The steam refresh cycle helps refresh clothing that you have left in the dryer, and the spot removal cycle helps to remove spots without having to return the clothes to the washing machine.

While Electrolux comes in a something of diamond tone color (quite beautiful actually), the Whirlpool models comes in a sleek silver color, which gives it class and sophistication.  We prefer the Electrolux coloring, but maybe this does not matter to you at all.  The model you like might only come in one of the common colors like white.  However, if your laundry room is visible to casual visitors, this is something to bear in mind.

If price is a concern, the Electrolux turns up a bit cheaper by a few hundred bucks on average – at least at the links that we offer.  These are a complete catalog of clothes dryer, so if you really want the complete skinny, you can sort the catalog and do some price filtering to decide what works best for your budget.

If looks are your biggest concern, then for our money the Electrolux models are by far the most beautiful, with their sleek diamond coloring and high-tech faces.  You might think differently, but of course, you have the links above to help you make your own decision.

Which is the best machine overall?  Your best option is to select a machine from this catalog and then cross check that model against the customer reviews at amazon.  If you feel that I am putting you through too much work, just remember that you will be spending some $1500 dollars, and that anything that you read here is but a guide to help you make your comparisons.  As with most things, what you buy will suit your specific needs.

The links that we have given you here are part of a complete catalog of clothes dryers that you can sort any way you want.  You can even prune this list by price to suit your budget.  Once you have a practical target, do a bit of legwork at amazon – and you should then have all the information that you need to make a safe choice.  Have fun with it.

Clothes Dryers In The Modern Age - Sincere Product Reviews

The Modern Clothes Dryer is NOT what it used to be...

If you find yourself in need of a new clothes dryer for the first time in years, you are likely to be in for a shock.  Time does indeed march on.

When you are buying a new clothes dryer today, you definitely will have plenty of choices, and you will have plenty of homework too. One might think that washers and dryers are simple devices for a simple job – and that person would be wrong.  We agree that perhaps they should be simple – but the truth is that they no longer are.

In an effort on the part of manufacturers to differentiate their goods, technology creep has taken us to the point of no return.  As smart as today’s clothes washers and clothes dryers might be, they are deaf, dumb and blind when compared to what will be sitting on the showroom floor in the next twenty years.

Modern clothes dryers are not only smarter, but they are packed with a plethora of features that you never needed – and probably still don’t need – but what does what YOU want have to do with anything?

We cannot tame the technology jungle, but maybe if we hand you a machete and point out the way, you can make your own way into the clearing.  With this as our goal, let us discuss the features and design of the modern clothes dryer.

Here are the things that you need to consider, if you plan to buy a modern clothes dryer.

Features

• Capacity (in cubic feet)
• Temperatures
• Cycles
• Moisture Sensor
• Noise reduction system
• Time remaining display
• Lint filter light
• End of cycle signal
• Custom Programs
• Smart Phone Compatible (Yeah, yeah)
• Duct blockage monitor
• Drying Rack

 Cycles & Design

• Steam Refresh (who could live without it?)
• Wrinkle Reduction
• Delicate Clothes Cycle
• Quick Dry Cycle (Life’s a rush…)
• Heavy Duty Cycle
• Permanent Press Cycle
• Sanitize Cycle
• Bulky/Bedding Cycle (Does it make the bed too?)
• Towels Cycle
• Air Fluff Cycle (yes, that’s right)
• Child Lock (Aw, Cmon)
• Drum Light (Huh?)
• Reversible Door (Step back)
• See-Through Door (No respect)
• LED Display (easier to see, but probably less informative)
• Stackable
• Pedestal

 Now, don’t look at us like that.  We KNOW that we are only talking about a simple clothes dryer – but then again – maybe these just aren’t so simple any more.  All of these features do have their place.  The real question is if you care to pay for them.

While we are not going to dissect this list item by item, we have given you a grand place to begin your online research to learn more – and you should learn more – to understand what you might be getting – or giving up.

Researching the lists above will generate many questions, but before tackling these, you should understand some of the more basic questions first. 

Here are some basic questions you need to ask yourself first:

1. How often do you do laundry?
2. What type of clothes do you want to dry?
3. Where will your dryer be located?
4. Do you do other chores while doing the laundry?
5. What features have you been wishing for in your current dryer?

The answers to these questions will help you to narrow down your choices of machine significantly.  If your needs are light, you might do just fine with a portable dryer.  You can find a nice selection of these by searching for “portable dryers” HERE.

Placement of your dryer is SUPER important.  Be sure that you have the venting, or you may need to consider a vent-less clothes dryer.

If you are multi-tasking many other chores your clothes dryer could use a moisture sensor.  This way, you don’t need to keep running down the basement (placement, placement) to see if your clothes are dry. It will automatically stop when your clothes are dry and not before. Also, if you tend to leave clothes in the dryer after the cycle is complete then a refresh cycle might help reduce wrinkling of your clothes.

The drum size on your clothes dryer will dictate its expense.  Models will vary in features and style, but as the drum size increases, you will unavoidably pay more, all other things being equal.

It is safe to say that anything in the mid-price range will come in a smaller size. Naturally, the cheaper models will have less programming choices, drying cycles, bells and whistles, but maybe you really do not need these – as women have not for hundreds of years.

The final item only becomes important when you have considered the first four.  Now, you understand what you really need, and it is time to draw up your wish list.  First, you need to be sure that what you want has even been invented!  Check the lists above for help with that.  Once you find it, do some research to learn if it really is what you imagined, or just some bum gadget with a fancy name.

Do not forget to check out the warranty and maintenance plans on any clothes dryer that you buy.  NEVER leave the store without one.  If you dryer blows up after the store guarantee, you will rue the day that you declined the maintenance contract.

Dryers are expensive.  They are advanced pieces of modern technology that can fail from many causes, just in case you didn’t get the memo.  You won’t fix them in ten minutes with a screwdriver – not any more.  PAY the thirty bucks, and save yourself some serious grief!

Many manufacturers cover the first year of your warranty, but you still need to buy any extensions and to check to be sure that they service your area before settling your purchase.   Be SURE that you have coverage.  ‘Nuff said!

We hope that these tips will get you thinking about what goes into buying a modern clothes dryer.  You can buy them on line to save yourself some money, since you won’t get the unit that you saw in the store anyway.

If you are covered then you have little to worry about.  Besides, online vendors are usually more cognizant of possible shipping hazards than local store dealers might be.  They ship machines like yours every day – and want as few complaints as possible.

That’s all we have.  If you ‘ve got more, please just leave them in the comments.  Till then…

Shop Smart & Prosper…
