THE WORLD'S FIRST DRYER THAT DRIES – AND IRONS!

Be the first to hear about a brand new dryer that can iron your clothes too!

A little birdie told us that modern appliance company Fagor have developed a very special dryer. Called the Driron and due to be released in November, it is the world's first dryer that not only dries, but irons as well!

This space age looking machine can be placed anywhere in the home, including the garage and as well as drying and ironing the Driron also has a refresher button, a short programme that justs freshens up clothes. As shirts, skirts and trousers etc. are hanging while being dried and ironed, they don't wear as much as with normal dryers and irons.

At around £1500, it is certainly more than your average dryer - but how much would you pay to never have to do the ironing again!!!

For further info call 0870 240 8095 - but remember you'll have to wait till November

THE TECHIE INFO:

The DRIRON features a condensation system that extracts humidity from clothing during the drying process. This is then turned into water which can either be collected in a removable container within the appliance, or via mains drainage if plumbed in. With this flexibility, it means that the DRIRON can be placed anywhere in the home, or even in a garage.

The DRIRON works so cleverly that when clothes and laundry are removed from the machine it as if they have been ironed – with no crinkles or creases, and with little effort required on the part of the user. Achieving great results with either wet or dry articles - the DRIRON has many advantages over conventional drying methods: it does not cause wear to clothes and there is no risk of fibre deterioration; as is found when repeatedly using a conventional iron. It also uses no harmful chemicals; so there is no risk of allergic reaction.

How is this achieved? Using cleverly designed hangers and accessories, each item is placed in the machine using a special formula for hanging. Shirts have special arm inserts which are easily positioned, while trousers and skirts have their own hanging clips which are then situated on internal rails. There is a basket for underwear and smaller items, while sheets and table cloths are hung over the rails in a dedicated position. The machine is then switched on via a digital control on the front of the machine, and the DRIRON will take up to 120 minutes to produce ready to wear clothing and crinkle free laundry. The DRIRON also has sensors to calculate the correct duration of each load dependent on humidity; so no more than the exact amount of electricity is ever required.
