A folding clothes dryer is an essential attribute of many apartments.

At one time, it was considered a breakthrough in the context of drying clothes, but today they are gradually becoming obsolete and more advanced options are being found.

Folding models are easy to store, but when unfolded they still take up a lot of space, and clothes do not dry in a couple of hours.

In autumn and spring the process can take several days and all this time the dryer is an eyesore and a nuisance. There are several alternative options.

The easiest option is to buy a washing machine with a drying function. In the past, budget models with this function did not cope well with their work, but now the situation has changed.

Or you can buy a dryer and place it above the washing machine.

Another option is a drying cabinet. Things are dried in it in a vertical position, so the clothes will not be wrinkled.

You can also take a closer look at compact models of classic dryers that won’t take up half the room.

Some options stand upright when unfolded, allowing you to store the same amount of things, but the space they occupy is two to three times smaller.

There are also narrow models of dryers that can fit in the bathtub.

But this is not an option if you have a shower cabin. In this case, a vertical dryer will come in handy.
