| | | | | |  | | Rinnai Dry-Soft LP Gas Tumble DryerRinnai UK has launched its Dry-Soft Tumble Dryer available in an LPG powered model. The dryer is approximately 70% more powerful than an electric dryer, reducing drying time, energy consumption and has only one quarter of the greenhouse emissions of conventional electric dryers.
It also only weighs 27kg therefore can be easily mounted on the wall to save floor space. Rinnai says the domestic machine will cost an average of £35 - £50 per annum to run, providing a comparable saving of up to £300 per year for a heavy domestic user of an electric dryer.
