Hands-on test · Compact vented dryer
Verdict
The Infiniton SD-3M is a quick, hands-off dryer for short daily loads in small homes, but it is taller and heavier than newer compacts.

Third-party reviews

What we like about Infiniton SD-3M

  • The ECO cycle takes 125 min, and in tests a full load took about two hours.
  • Humidity sensors stop the cycle once the clothes are dry.
  • The drain hose is included, so you can vent through a window straight away.
  • The ECO function is an uncommon extra.
  • The child lock suits a home with children.
  • A display and selectable drying times make it simple to set.

What we don't like about Infiniton SD-3M

  • Only two drying programs give little choice.
  • A 3 kg capacity is small for a family wash.
  • Thick items can come out damp after a full load.
  • At 65 dB it is loud enough that you have to raise your voice beside it.
  • At 20 kg and 64 cm tall, it takes two people to move.
  • It has no wool, shirt or outdoor program.

Verdict

A 125 min ECO cycle is the main draw of the Infiniton SD-3M, a vented dryer that suits a small household. The drain hose is in the box, so you can vent through a window at once. Humidity sensors end the cycle once the clothes are dry, which saves time and power. The ECO function is an uncommon extra, and the child lock suits a home with children. Its 52 cm width fits a narrow utility corner. The trade-off is capacity: 3 kg is small for a family wash, and thick items can come out damp. At 65 dB it is loud enough that you have to raise your voice beside it. It suits a single person or a couple with small loads and a window for the hose.
