Drying Cabinet Best in Test 2025 – Experts’ Top Choice

The winner of Best in Test dryer 2025 was once again Nimo’s gentle everyday hero, the Sensor Dryer 1700, the same model that topped the list in 2023, which was described as “a robust dryer with sensor technology and low energy consumption, receiving high marks in tests.”.

Swedish-Made Test Winners with a Focus on Sustainability

The latest independent tests from both Test.se and Bygghemma.se confirm that NIMO remains the market leader in drying cabinets. In two separate evaluations, the Sensor Dryer 1700 and Easy Dryer 1900 were ranked among the top choices on the market—praised for their energy efficiency, high capacity, and smart features. The Sensor Dryer 1700 was named Best in Test by Test.se and secured second place at Bygghemma. The Easy Dryer 1900 was also highlighted as a “Good Choice” by Test.se and placed third at Bygghemma. With Swedish design and manufacturing in Hova, NIMO once again proves why its products are the go-to solution for those seeking reliable and sustainable drying cabinets.

Top-Rated Performer with Exceptional Capacity

It’s easy to see why the Sensor Dryer 1700 claimed both first and second place in 2025. This drying cabinet can dry clothes and other textiles quickly and efficiently with a capacity of up to 6 kg. With a hanging length of 16 metres, there’s plenty of room for everything from wet outerwear to freshly-washed and delicate garments. In addition, Nimo offers several smart accessories for dryers, such as shoe racks, door and glove hangers.

Highly Rated in the ‘Good Choice’ Test Category

In the “Good Choice” category, the Easy Dryer 1900 came out on top, praised as a “robust drying cabinet with a timer function that dries clothes efficiently.”

This is a classic exhaust air drying cabinet built with proven technology and high performance—ideal for those who value reliability and function without the fuss. With timer control and two dials for adjusting drying intensity, it’s easy to tailor the cycle to different loads and fabric types.

The Easy Dryer 1900 is also designed to run quietly and energy-efficiently, while offering generous space for everything from sportswear to outerwear.

“We are always delighted when our dryers, which we develop and manufacture here in Hova, take a podium place. It’s further proof that users really appreciate our constant efforts to develop our products, in terms of quality, efficiency, sustainability and energy efficiency,” says Tobias Strålman, Head of Design & Innovation at Nimo.
