Few wrinkles from the AeroSmart™ dryer
The AeroSmart dryer Wrinkle Free option is automatically selected for the Permanent
Press cycle. The only other dryer where this is the case is the Kenmore Elite Electric.
The GE Harmony Gas extended tumble option will operate only if selected and provides
only 20 minutes of no heat tumbling. The same applies to the Maytag Neptune Gas Press
Care option.
AeroSmart’s Wrinkle Free option can be used in conjunction with any of the dryer cycles
providing wrinkle protection for approximately 24 hours, while using minimal power.
The benefit is that, if you’re unable to unload the dryer immediately at cycle end,
AeroSmart’s Wrinkle Free option minimizes wrinkling.
Overall, the AeroSmart™ dryers were able to dry the load of Permanent Press type
garments, without exceeding safe clothes care temperatures and at the same time
minimising wrinkles.
Speed vs Clothes Care
What did we test for?
To evaluate how well the Regular cycle of each dryer cared for clothes.
Why?
It is possible to dry a load very fast but high temperatures, which can contribute to fast
cycle times, also can cause clothes damage eg. shrinkage.
How did we test?
We tested a 3 lb and 6.6 lb regular mixed loads on the Regular cycle of each dryer, to
evaluate how well each dryer cared for the laundry. Each load was wet and spun in an
Ecosmart washer. A thermolabel was placed on a shirt in each load to ascertain the
maximum temperature the load reached during the dryer cycle. Final Moisture content,
cycle time, energy consumption, maximum garment temperature and observations of
how dry each item felt were recorded.
