Integrated Tumble Dryers

Fully integrated means the dryer is designed to sit inside a kitchen unit and is typically concealed by your cupboard door for a tidy, discreet appearance. You get the functionality of a freestanding dryer but it sits out of sight, so your kitchen runs look uncluttered. The models shown here are all fully integrated 7kg heat pump condenser dryers, so you’ll have a compact, hidden appliance that still performs like a regular dryer.

All three models in our range have a 7kg drum, which suits a single person, a couple, or a small family who wash regularly. a 7kg dryer will easily handle a couple of towels and a few items of clothing or a small load of shirts and jeans. If you regularly dry large bedding or big weekly loads for a family of four, you might find yourself running the dryer more often, since these options are aimed at space-saving rather than very large capacity use.

A heat pump condenser dryer recycles heat inside the machine and dries at lower temperatures, which is gentler on fabrics and more energy-efficient than many traditional condenser or vented dryers. All three models on offer are heat pump condenser types, so you benefit from lower running costs and better care for delicates. The trade-off is that drying cycles can be a little longer, but you’ll save energy and reduce wear on clothes.

Because integrated dryers are usually hidden behind a cupboard door, the appliance colour often won’t be visible, but finishes can still matter if you open the door or have a cut-out panel. The range here includes two white models and a black model with a chrome door, so if you intend to leave a unit door open sometimes or have a visible service flap, you can match the chrome or black to your kitchen scheme. If you prefer complete invisibility, any finish will work equally well behind a closed cupboard door.

The current prices shown range at a lower to mid-range price point to the current product price, with the Candy 7kg model at the current product price and Hoover's 7kg models from roughly the current product price to the current product price. Price differences reflect brand and finish, the black Hoover with a chrome door sits at the top end, and may also indicate different feature sets or design details within the heat pump condenser range. Choose the level of finish and brand you're comfortable with, knowing the core specification (fully integrated, 7kg, heat pump condenser) is consistent across the range.
