Updated on

Black Friday was on the 29th November, but there are some impressive condenser tumble dryer deals this Cyber Monday, so you can get your clothes dry without having to fork out on a full-priced machine. Now we're in the chill of autumn and winter; getting your clothes dry after a wash takes much longer, sometimes days. While one handy solution is the good old heated clothes airer, if you're after a bigger solution that'll dry a full load in a matter of hours, a tumble dryer is the way to go.

With integrated and freestanding options available, tumble dryers come with a hefty price tag, ranging from £300 to £1,000+. That's where the sale season comes to the rescue – you can get the tumble dryer you need at a more affordable cost. Better yet, these discounts mean you can get access to typically more expensive and higher-spec machines so you can get the best for your money.

When is Black Friday?

Black Friday was Friday, November 29th and Cyber Monday on Monday, December 2nd. Many retailers have deals and some may even extend their deals to run until the end of Christmas. We've hand-picked products we think will make the sales this year - and this way, you have a chance to grab a fantastic saving before they're gone.

When do Black Friday sales end?

In recent years, we've seen Black Friday sales start several days (or even weeks) before the actual Black Friday, November 29th. They typically continue through the weekend into Cyber Monday. Many retailers keep their discounts available until the end of Cyber Monday, which falls on Monday, December 2nd.

Some retailers may continue their sales for the week after Black Friday, also known as Cyber Week.

Is it worth buying a condenser tumble dryer?

If you're after a speedy dry, we think so. A condenser dryer has a shorter drying cycle compared to heat pump dryers, and so offers swift clothes drying without the need for venting, allowing you to place it wherever you need in the home. However, it is important to position the tumble dryer in a well-ventilated area to ensure a supply of cool air for optimal functioning. Operating at a maximum temperature of 75 degrees, a condenser dryer may seem appealing due to shorter drying cycles compared to heat pump dryers. Yet, it's crucial to note that condenser dryers tend to have higher energy consumption. Despite their quick drying capabilities, users should be mindful of the increased energy usage when considering this option.

Is a condenser tumble dryer cheaper to run?

Condenser tumble dryers are more energy-efficient than traditional vented dryers as warm air is expelled, but less so compared to heat pump tumble dryers. This type of tumble dryer effectively 'recycles' the hot air which means they tend to use less energy and are cheaper to run. The cost-effectiveness of running a condenser tumble dryer depends on factors like your household usage, energy efficiency ratings, and initial costs (brought down thanks to Black Friday!)
