When it comes to laundry appliance procurement, sustainability has become an increasingly crucial consideration, with care homes striving to reduce their carbon footprints and do their bit for the environment. Laundry operations are a significant factor in this effort, especially given that. traditionally, the energy consumption of tumble dryers has been notoriously high. However, with advancements in technology, it’s now possible to achieve excellent drying results while maintaining impressive energy and cost efficiency.

Miele’s heat pump dryers stand out as an ideal solution, reducing energy consumption by up to 60% compared to traditional vented dryers. The Ecoplus technology in Miele’s dryers ensures that both energy consumption and drying times remain consistently low. Additionally, the interaction between Miele’s filter system and the maintenance-free heat exchanger prevents fluff from clogging the heat exchanger, maintaining exceptional drying efficiency.
