The world’s first A rated Condenser Dryer wins prestigious Environmental award
I don’t normally publish announcements like this but as this tumble dryer has been commended for its environmental innovation here it is. This is a direct copy of the AEG-Electrolux press release -
“The Lavatherm T59800 Condenser dryer by AEG-Electrolux was awarded the KBBReview Industry Award for Environmental Innovation this week. This award is specifically for products that provide tangible environmental benefits without depriving the consumer of any usability or performance that they have come to expect in their everyday life. The Lavatherm T59800 illustrates this perfectly.
Judges commented “This is a well established product that tries to appeal to both the pocket of the consumer by reducing energy costs whilst also reducing energy use to benefit the environment

The T59800 is the first A rated dryer which takes as little as 85* minutes to dry cottons, consumes half the energy of a similar sized C rated dryer – and dries clothes so gently that even wool and silks can be can be tumble dried it.
The T59800 uses a specially developed ‘Heat pump’ technology which works like a refrigerator in reverse to achieve this unprecedented energy efficiency. The Energy consumption is so low it exceeds the requirements for A Energy rating by 30%.
The lower temperature drying (5°C less than conventional models) means even delicate fabrics like wool and silk can be dried safely. For consumers who plan to install a dryer in the kitchen, the heat pump technology is also far quieter than the traditional technology – 65db instead of 70dB.
