A valid comparison
Both the types continue to have their own share of the market since substantially solve different needs. Let’s see in detail what are the specifications that make them more or less functional.

Conversely thecondensing dryer with heat pump reaches gods prices somewhat tall, why the technology it employs is much more modern, sophisticated and therefore advanced. The cost of a condensing dryer with heat pump is rising from 500 euros, an expense that could be amortized if we consider the energy performance of the machine, oriented towards maximum efficiency.
Different energy performances
L’dryer with resistance generates gods higher electricity consumption compared to its competitor. Even for those who are not fans of mathematics it is immediate to evaluate that i 3.8 – 4.5 kWh of the resistance model are many compared to1 – 1.3 kWh of the heat pump model.
While thedryer with resistance can’t get past one class B, regarding the classification of energy consumption, that with heat pump stands on energy consumption class A. A measurement of this difference is a ratio of 180 euros per year for the resistance one and 50 for the heat pump one.
Consumption is in any case to be evaluated in relation to the use made of the dryer, that is to say the number of weekly laundry and the quantity measured in liters of the laundry to be treated.
For the sake of clarity, if we talk about class A or A +++ we refer to some drying programs, so we recommend to evaluate also the performance range and not just its best performance. In any case, programs can be excluded from daily use if they generate excessive consumption.
