Make sure your tumble dryer is the perfect fit with a little help from our handy measurement guide. We’ll give you some top tips so measuring up for that new appliance is easy.
How to measure
Top tips to remember...
Most of our tumble dryers are freestanding. These models aren't designed to fit behind cupboard doors.
Measure the space where you want the tumble dryer to live.
Add 3cm onto the depth of the appliance you are considering for pipes needed for connection. This is important if you're choosing a vented model. You may need to leave extra room.
FAQs
- How do I measure for an integrated tumble dryer?
Most integrated kitchen cabinets have a standard height and width, so most integrated tumble dryers will have a standard height and width too. This means you only need to make a note of the depth of the appliance you’ve got your eye on. When you’re measuring for depth, add on 3cm of extra space behind for pipes.
- Do I need to take any additional measurements for a vented tumble dryer?
Yes, you’ll need to add a few extra centimetres to the depth to leave room for the vent and hose.
- Are all tumble dryers standard sizes?
The height and the width are a standard across all models (H85cm, W60cm), but the depth will change based on the size of the drum you choose.
- What is the average depth of a tumble dryer?
They can vary from 46cm to 68cm, depending on the size of the drum.
- Where is the best place to put a tumble dryer?
It’s handy to put it near your washing machine, but manufacturers recommend that they’re put in a room with a minimum temperature of 10 degrees.
- Can I put a tumble dryer in a cupboard?
We wouldn’t recommend it. Tumble dryers need proper ventilation in order to work properly.
