I believe everyone is familiar with dryers. It is a type of household washing appliance and is generally used with a washing machine. Its main function is to dry the moisture in clothes and textiles to achieve the effect of "sun-drying" clothes.
In foreign countries, especially in European, American, Japanese and Korean households, dryers are very popular and have basically become standard equipment in most households. However, the usage of dryers is very low in our country. What is the reason why dryers are not adapted to the local environment in China? Let Han Fat analyze it for everyone. In fact, the reason is very simple. Advantages of
dryers There is a reason why
dryers are so popular abroad. Because its existence can indeed bring a lot of convenience to life.
1, can be used at any time
During the 365 days a year, we often encounter the plum rainy season, cloudy days, and rainy days. Faced with this situation, it is simply not feasible to rely on natural drying methods. It will only cause more clothes to accumulate, and if they are not dried for a few days, they will easily stink.
If you use a dryer at home, you don’t have to worry about the weather at all. Whether it is , typhoon, or heavy rain, it can be used as usual. If you wash your clothes the same day, they can be dried in a few hours the same day.
2. Free up balcony space
If you usually use a dryer, you don’t need to occupy the balcony space to dry clothes. You can free up space on the balcony, otherwise you can dry clothes on the balcony. Not only does it affect lighting and ventilation conditions, but it also affects visual effects.
If the balcony is not used to dry clothes, it can be used as an extension of the living room. You can also place a coffee table and small chairs on the balcony to create a leisure space.
3. Clothes are cleaner
Drying clothes in the sun because they are exposed outside all day long. It is easy to be contaminated with dust, or bacteria , viruses in the air, which means that clothes will cause secondary pollution.
If you use a dryer, your clothes will not be exposed to the air, effectively avoiding dust, bacteria, and viruses in the air. Moreover, the dryer will have a filter inside, which can directly filter out the lint produced during the cleaning process of clothes, making the clothes cleaner.
Disadvantages of the dryer
The dryer has so many benefits, why is the usage rate so low? Naturally, this is because dryers have some shortcomings.
1. The cost is relatively high.
The dryer is an electrical appliance, and the purchase cost is similar to that of a washing machine. In addition to the purchase cost, daily electricity bills are also a considerable expense. The basic power of a condensing dryer is about 1200W, and it can take up to 3 hours to dry at a time. The heat pump dryer is relatively energy-saving, and it takes about 2 hours to dry each time.
consumes several kilowatt-hours of electricity every day, and it accumulates day and night, which is painful.
2. It is more troublesome to use.
Because the materials of some clothes are different, the drying gears to be selected are naturally different. Therefore, some clothes cannot be thrown into the dryer together. It needs to be divided into batches, and it is indeed more troublesome to use.
3. Clothes wrinkle easily
Many people who use dryers complain that the clothes will become wrinkled after drying. The reason is simple, because the space inside the dryer is limited, and clothes are packed inside to dry. It is normal for clothes to be unable to unfold during the drying process and wrinkles will appear.
Although many dryers now have wrinkle removal functions, they need to be taken out immediately after drying. If left for a long time, not only will it wrinkle, but it will even become damp.
The main reason why Chinese families rarely use dryers
In addition to the three shortcomings of dryers, the main reason why Chinese families rarely use dryers is the following reason.
The reason is that Chinese people are accustomed to the traditional habit of drying clothes in the sun. After all, sunlight has been used to dry clothes for thousands of years.The smell of clothes dried in the sun is particularly pleasant. Precisely because of people's psychological dependence on the sun for drying clothes, they originally refuse dryers.
Of course, saving money is also a big reason.
Summary
If the lighting on the balcony at home is poor, or there is really no place to dry clothes, it is best to choose a dryer. As for the dryer, it is recommended to choose a heat pump dryer. After drying, the clothes will not wrinkle and will be particularly fluffy. It's almost as good as the sun, and it's very comfortable to wear.
