$626 + free delivery to Tassie for the Esatto @ Appliance Online.wow heat pumps have dropped in price. was only 2 years ago i went looking for a good dryer and couldn't find a heat pump for under 1.2k
Is estate the go to brand for heat pump dryers? Also, is it worth paying the extra for a heat pump dryer?
Thanks in advance
No idea about the brand. I got an Asko years ago on special (older version of https://www.appliancesonline.com.au/7kg-asko-heat-pump-dryer…), and think it's the bees proverbial knees. With respect to heat pumps, yes it is worth the extra if you use the dryer a lot. If you normally dry things on the line then probably not. The main advantages of heat pumps are they use less electricity so are cheaper to run, and they also store the water in a container or (even better) let the water drain out into the sink - so way less moisture in the air etc if you don't run an external vent to a normal dryer. And in case you were wondering, when our Asko eventually dies we would get another without hesitation.
Thanks mate
Ditto. Just got the same ASKO model last month at their warehouse sale, price matched AppliancesOnline. The consumption dropped to 900W compared to my old 1800W Fischer Paykel vented unit. Takes about the same time to dry but the main reason for me was no more dust/fluff in the laundry from the vent. Not sure about the Kogan one sorry but for me heat pump is worth it.
I bought the Esatto heat pump dryer (looks exactly the same as this) from Appliances on line about a year ago. Excellent performance, dries very well, quiet and very efficient. Only complaint is the filter does fit tightly with small gaps on the sides that lets some lint through. Easily fixed with some thin adhesive foam (that is normally used on doors or windows to stop draughts). So happy with it that I bought a second one about a month ago for a relative.
Thanks
appliances online also sell on ebay so you can add your 5-10% sitewide discounts
Is a heat pump dryer more effective compared to venting and condensing? Do they use up loads more electricity? I’ve never had a dryer so only did a quick google search to find out about the different types and not sure which one I would pick under what circumstances. My laundry has a window and I’d mainly look to use this during winter when clothes cannot dry outside eg bedding, thick jumpers etc
Obviously didn’t do much research
Heatpump far more energy efficient , stops the humid air in the laundry

If you don't use a dryer a lot (and by that I mean three or more times a week), then just get a cheap vented job. It will probably dry things quicker, will be a lot cheaper to buy, and just leave that window open when using the dryer. A condensor version will use less electricity and doesn't need to be vented. A heat pump will use even less, and also doesn't need to be vented. Some dryers will be combined condensor/heat pump.
"A condensor version will use less electricity"
Not necessarily so as the drying guts of vented and condensor dryers are exactly the same.
Condensor dryers tend to be more upmarket so they may well be a bit more efficient simply by being a better quality product, but that isn't specifically a result of being a condensor.
The big advantage of heat pump dryers is that they don't cook your clothes. Regular dryers use an element to heat the air and this results in very hot, very dry air that I always felt can't possibly be good for fabric. Heat pump dryers operate at a lower temperature that is gentler on your clothes - but which often results in new owners complaining that they take longer or don't dry clothes as well as their old dryer.
A cheap vent dryer is perfect for standby/emergency purposes like yours and probably most of us on the mainland.
Heat pump will save money if you’re using it weekly or more, Melbourne or Tasmania I am guessing this would apply.
Would this really be a good deal though?
Looking at appliances online.
The Esatto is $626 delivered including removal of the old appliance.
The Kogan is $609 delivered with no removal of old appliance.
The Seiki for $659 delivered has an extra years warranty.
Either way, I feel like the the last thing I would want to do is deal with Kogan and anything I might want to claim warranty for.
