Those who live in humid areas or simply want to reduce the time spent waiting for the laundry to be ready, the dryer becomes an indispensable ally. But how to choose the right model, which combines efficiency, sustainability and low costs on the bill? Altroconsumo has tested 153 products currently on the market, to see which are the best.
The best dryers stand out for their energy efficiency, load capacity, silence and ease of use. The capacity varies from 7 to 12 kg, which makes them suitable for both small families and large families.
The new energy label, effective March 1, 2025, ranges from A to G and evaluates the performance of the ECO program. There are still models on the market with the previous classification, however comparable through the Altroconsumo comparator.
Among the most advanced technologies, the heat pump stands out, which allows delicate and low-consumption drying, preserving the fabrics over time. The noise level of the models tested varies between 58 and 65 decibels, while the condensate can be managed via an internal tank or drain pipe. Some dryers are also equipped with a self-cleaning condenser, a practical solution for reducing maintenance and maintaining high performance over time.
But let’s now discover the ranking of excellent quality dryers.
The best dryers in the test
Among the 153 dryers tested, these were the best:
Also of excellent quality:
Finally, we mention the good quality BEKO BMTR38W (71 points) considered the “best buy”.
How the test was conducted
Altroconsumo tests follow rigorous and standardized protocols. Each dryer is subjected to laboratory tests that evaluate:
To broaden the coverage of products available on the market, Altroconsumo it also uses artificial intelligence, evaluating untested models directly through the technical characteristics and data of products already analyzed in the laboratory. These models are clearly distinguishable in the comparator.
