Why Choose a Compact Dryer?
The drying solution for small spaces
A compact dryer is generally 24 inches wide, compared to 27 or 29 inches for a standard model. It stacks perfectly on a compact washer of the same width for a complete laundry solution in minimal space. Ideal for apartments, condos, townhouses or any laundry space integrated into a closet or alcove.

Frequently asked questions — Compact dryers
Does a compact dryer perform as well as a standard model?
Yes, for the vast majority of everyday needs. Compact dryers from brands like Miele or Asko deliver excellent performance with several advanced drying programs. The only notable difference is the smaller drum capacity, which may require more cycles for large families. For a couple or single person, a compact dryer is more than sufficient.
Does a compact dryer need an exhaust duct?
It depends on the model. Standard compact dryers require an exhaust duct to the outside, just like a full-size model. Some compact models are condenser dryers — they collect moisture in a reservoir that you empty periodically, with no duct required. Condenser models are particularly popular in interior spaces without access to an exhaust duct. Always check the specifications before buying.
Can I stack my compact dryer on top of my compact washer?
Yes, this is one of the most popular configurations for small spaces. A compact dryer of the same width can be placed on top of the washer using a stacking kit sold separately. This setup frees up floor space and fits perfectly in a closet or alcove. Always check compatibility between the two appliances before buying. Our advisors at our locations can confirm which combinations work together.
Why choose a brand like Asko or Miele for a compact dryer?
Brands like Asko, Miele and Blomberg are recognized for their build quality, durability and energy efficiency. Their compact dryers are built to last much longer than entry-level models, making them a worthwhile long-term investment. These are exclusive brands available at specialized retailers like Corbeil.
