Store rep mentioned that have something to do with Ebay's regional level exclusions. Definitely should give them a call to confirm
I'm metro Perth. Will try calling and see what they say
Well, called the (24/7) they will ship to Perth, just put 2000 as postocde then call them with the SO number to amend :)
Have this, great drier, great energy efficiency too. Doesn't make the room hot and humid like the cheap vented ones do (unless you actually duct it out). Great price too.
Read it as $131
Nearly brodened the sh!t out of this!
Is it worth to get this dryer, price 1331 vs saving cost over vented / condenser dryer ?
Using this website, saving is obvious IF the dryer can last 10 years.
I doubt it will last 10 years, Bosch is a crap brand for appliances.
Firstly you should dry your clothes on a clothes line if you can. So most house owners should do that and have a cheaper dryer for wet weather.
Apartment dwellers without other options may have a look but since normal dryers are one third the cost and the Bosch has only a two year warranty I would buy a normal dryer. Not much manufacturer confidence in the dryer/

We went through this exact dilemma this time last year, and to be honest we couldn't see the value at all.
Just bought an "older tech" Simson standard dryer. Yes they aren't as efficient to run, but the difference in price doesn't justify going for that much extra money- and all up front with no guarantee that it won't blow up in a few years.
I strongly advise going the cheaper way, and either duct the outlet or open the laundry window when using it (as expelling that moist air from the room definitely makes a difference to performance).
Yes they are more expensive but wouldn't the 7 star energy rating running cost help recover the initial cost and then some over the years?
The heat pumps use about 1-2KWh per load, the older ones 4-5KWh (3 or 4 times as much… sounds scary but wait).
Electricity costs (depending on your location), 20c a kWh?
So very rough sums… heat pump about 40c a load, and older style 80-100c a load.
Lets go with 1 load every single day through winter to average it out and then add 10 more days as rough use for the year…. equals 100 days per year.
So each year, the heat pump will cost $40 and the vented one about $100 give or take.
IF (and that's a big if) the heat pump lasts 10 years you'll save $600 on running costs.
But the upfront difference in price is much more that that!
It's not worth it. And if your appliance craps itself earlier than expected (or requires servicing, which is even more expensive), then you're losing even more.
Even if you fudge the numbers to suit your usage (in the case you think you'll use it more than 100 days), it still won't be worth it imo.
Put that money towards a solar panel system. At least that way you'll get real benefits over 25 years.
Glad I could help.
We built a new house recently and got rid of gas completely, so electricity is what I know now (at very basic level) :).
I've got solar panels now as well, so I'm very interested to know what different devices use and when.
Heat pumps definitely have their purpose (we use it for heating and cooling), but for drying clothes I don't see the purpose of buying what effectively is a stand alone air conditioner. Too extravagant for me ;).
Thanks for the info.
It's good to know that's it's not worth at this stage, not until price getting better
Most heat pumps dry themselves. But good price if you need it.
