The CHOICE reliability survey asks thousands of members about the clothes dryers they own, what they think of them, and how they've held up over time.
More than 6000 members took part in our 2020 reliability survey and, of them, 54% (3270 respondents) told us that they bought a dryer brand new. The information they provided gives us a really good indication of how various clothes dryer brands stack up over time – something we can't test in our labs.
Use this article to find the most reliable clothes dryer brands from our latest survey.
How we get the data

About the scores
Reliability
Reliability figures are based on owner assessment, not test data. We use the data we collect from members to rate the most popular brands for reliability. We ask owners if their product has broken down in the past 12 months, and we take into account the age of the products so we can compare brands in a fair way.
Owner satisfaction
We ask owners to tell us what they thought of the products they own, rating them from "Excellent" to "Terrible". We've used this information to give each brand an owner satisfaction rating so you can see what people who use the brand, day in day out, think of them.
Brand reliability results are for CHOICE members only.
