The CYDA81 has a vented design, 8kg capacity, LED marker, 15 cycles, Easy Iron Option, air vented drying, C energy rating and 67dB noise level. Capacity and price are identical, but the condenser model is more efficient, slightly quieter and easier to place because it does not need external venting.

The C YD C82 suits most homes better if there is no convenient vent route, or if you want sensor drying and start delay at the same price. Its B rating is also stronger than the CYDA81’s C rating.
