World's Most Energy-Efficient Dryer Captures the Market


New dryers are self-cleaning, saving 50 euro cents per load

At its first attempt, the new blueTherm dryer captured 60% of the market for Class A condenser dryers. This is confirmed by a study carried out by the market research company GfK in Nuremberg, Germany. blueTherm is the first Siemens product in the condenser dryer market segment over EUR900. To date, 100,000 appliances have already been sold. The reason for this is simple: The dryer is the energy-saving world champion! It has a unique automatic lint cleaner and new heat pump technology. The dryer uses 40% less energy than the permitted limit for a European Class A appliance, consumes only half as much electricity as conventional Class B appliances and even beats its direct competition: It requires up to 20% less energy than other heat pump dryers. All this makes blueTherm the most energy-saving condenser dryer in the world - saving the user an average of 50 euro cents per load. This equates to savings of 100 euros per year for 200 dryer cycles.
