• Extra silent function (in 84% of models): Operates at a low noise level without affecting drying results. Runs slowly and sets the longest cycle.
• Anti-crease function (in all models): Extends the Anti-crease phase by 60 minutes at the end of the drying cycle.
• Reverse Plus function (in 95% of models) (only in some models of series 800 and 900): Increases drum rotation frequency to reduce rotations and entanglement of garments, improving drying uniformity and reducing creases.
• Steam level option (only in series 800 and 900): Lets you set the required steam level (minimum, moderate, maximum).
• Delicates option: Sets a Delicates drying program at a low temperature.

No Electrolux tumble dryer includes a fast function.

What features do Electrolux tumble dryers include?

Electrolux tumble dryers include 8 to 10 advanced features, which is similar to the market average.

All or almost all Electrolux tumble dryers have the following features:

• Laundry detection system: SensiCare System adjusts the cycle based on load size with special sensors, so time and energy consumption reduce for sustainable drying
• Humidity sensor: SensiCare System Technology (series 600 and 700) and SmartSense System (series 800 and 900). Precision sensors detect humidity more accurately, so fabrics dry evenly and do not shrink or lose shape
• Delay start option: Up to 20 hours
• Pause & Add option
• Selectable drying level: Choose between Extra Dry, Normal, and Iron Ready in all cycles

The 900 series includes CycloneCare System technology, which uses a spiral airflow and special sensors to dry every fabric perfectly, even in difficult areas such as pockets or thick seams. This technology reduces drying time and improves results.

Very few Electrolux dryers include WiFi connectivity (<10%). It is available in selected models of series 700, 800, and 900 and works with the Electrolux app (previously My Electrolux Care app). This app includes the following functions:

• Care Advisor: Get expert advice on how to dry clothes
• Favorites: Save specific settings for frequently worn clothes
• Care Label Guide: No need to check care labels, all information is in the app

Electrolux tumble dryers lack many features such as consumption statistics, smart diagnosis, selectable drying times, ECO function or ECO indicator, Guided dry, and smart pairing. There is no mention of a special drum design, and only a few models have a reversible door.

Most Electrolux dryers include bidirectional movement (Reverse Action, drum inversions reduce tangling), a special filter (EcoFlow System, a single easy-to-clean filter improves air circulation and reduces energy consumption), and an interior light.

93% of Electrolux tumble dryers have an inverter motor, while only 43% of tumble dryers in the market have one.
