Needed a dryer quickly and saw this for much cheaper at Bunnings than other stores. Not as cheap as upcoming Aldi sale, but they had stock ready.

Turns out the lowest prices were just the beginning.
The prophecy has been fulfilled.
To the eventual world domination and new world order.
I wonder if Appliances Online price match so I don’t have to worry about picking up… (says Bunnings wont deliver to my postcode, even though I have a local Bunnings that has the model in stock)
AO have stopped price matching since Nov 2021
That's a shame
Yes real shame. And their prices aren't great anymore too
True. It's a real shame. Hope they reconsider matching prices again.
I think Aldi was giving 3 years warranty. I wonder how many years for this one
2 apparently
2 years warranty for this one, but I am sure you could easily get 3 years with statutory warranty.
I think 2 years, but the Esatto website offers an extra year, taking total out 3years, if you register within 90days purchase.
And pay with a credit card that offers extended warranties, adds an extra year, taking it to 4. That's what I did.
Which Credit card offers this?
@overkillxx: My Amex essentials card offers this. The warranty has to be up to 5 years via the manufacturer. So if it's one year warranty it doubles it. 2-5 years adds one year extra.
No more 3 year warranty via website:
*The following periods are eligible for 1 bonus year warranty, free of charge. If you do not register, your manufacturer’s warranty will be 2 years from the date of purchase.
This warranty only applies to new Appliances, purchased and used in Australia and is in addition to (and does not exclude, restrict or modify in any way) other rights and remedies under a law to which the Appliances relate, including any non-excludable statutory guarantees in Australia.
Promotions:
1A. August Promotion: You must purchase an Esatto appliance during 01/08/2019 – 05/09/2019.
1B. 2019 EOY Promotion: You must purchase an Esatto appliance during 20/10/2019 – 10/01/2020.
1C. August Promotion: You must purchase an Esatto appliance after 14/08/2020.You must complete the registration form (right) within 90 days of purchase date via the form below.

Doesn’t this mean you are eligible for 3 year warranty provided you register?
1C. August Promotion: You must purchase an Esatto appliance after 14/08/2020.
Thats true. I'm still using a Made in Australia Dryer from 20 years ago. Going strong and dries clothes really quickly
You should checked your old vented dryer energy consumption, My parents had a old 4 or 5kg vented dryer which consuming 680kwh for a year (or 52 dry circles). I instantly bought a new 7kg vented dryer for my parents which consuming 328kwh. Then I bought myself a heat pump dryer consuming 144kwh.
*All used once a week (multiple the energy cost if you use more), 30 cent/kwh
680kwh x 0.30 = $204 a year
328kwh x 0.30 = $98.4 a year
144kwh x 0.30 = $43.2 a yearYeah but the heat pump dryer takes longer to dry the clothes so basically the difference is almost negligible, even when compared to the old dryer.
I do have a heat pump dryer and i do prefer it to the old ones but not for power consumption.@nikoris: Only take 2.5 hours, old dryer may save you not even an hour but how much is that worth?
The big plus is not much about electricity but not turning your laundry into a sauna.
@lgacb08: Apart from the energy savings this is the primary reason to own one, esp in small apartment/bathroom where this drying functions just doesn't dump all that moisture and water into a confine space causing mold etc.
@nikoris: The energy cost above is 52 runs on old vented/new vented/heat pump dryer per year. There is reason why 2 stars and 7 stars on the sticker. The old vented dryer will earn less than 1 star according to today standard.
Yep, except I know in QLD anyway, electricity prices if you are on a decent plan (which you should be if on ozbargain) are like 18-20c per kWh.
So 265kwh per year (the sticker on my plain old cheapo vented dryer from 10 years ago) = 265 X .2 = $53 a year
Vs
This dryer
144kwh X .2 = $29 a year
So $24 a year savings or only 29 years to get back to break even point… Better hope these chinese heat pump dryers are well made!
*Payback time is even longer if you have solar and use the dryer during daylight hours.
@Binchicken22: In WA energy is almost 30 cents per kWh, plus I use dryer 3 times a week. So 320kwh vented dryer will cost almost $300/year compare to heat pump dryer $130/year. Before I buy heat pump dryer 2 years ago, I have checked almost all vented dryer need 300kwh + a year.
Someone post this below, I just paste them here. Check the cost difference, it isn’t small amount.
from “Choice”
The biggest argument in favour of heat pump dryers is energy efficiency. They use around a third of the energy of a conventional vented dryer, which has a big impact on your energy bill.
We've found heat pump dryers have an average 10-year running cost of $588, compared with an average of $1523 for vented dryers. And that's based on one run per week – if you're a heavy dryer user then the savings will be bigger, and you'll rapidly justify the higher purchase price.
Of course, the flipside is also true – heat pump dryers are expensive to buy and if you rarely use your dryer then you won't recoup the initial outlay through energy savings, so consider your usage patterns and the total cost of ownership (purchase price plus running costs) before deciding which dryer technology to pursue.@stevelo: $1000 in 10 years is not a lot of savings tough, did you also factor in that heat pump drier needs more running time for the same result?
@nikoris: The cost is base on per drying circle, not running time. You should at least read the energy star sticker before you think you know how they calculate the running cost. I run 3 times dryer a week, so $3000 saving over 10 years. I save over $2000 even if the heat pump dryer $1000 more expensive than vented dryer. In addition, my laundry and my house won’t be humid and dirty after.
Not my neg on your comment. I gave away a vented dryer and replaced it with the 7kg version of this because it doesn't make the laundry room hot and damp. Sure a proper venting kit would solve that problem, but also a lot more effort to properly install.
Just open a window.
Which is what I used to do (window and door) with the vent angled in the direction of the window, but I still prefer this heat pump dryer (‘s little brother).
Looked at permanent vent kits many times, but made a better choice.
window
And for those with internal laundries e.g. units?
@Ham Dragon: I live in a townhouse, laundry is in the middle. Switching to a heat pump was amazing, no more running a dehumidifier when using the dryer.
Since we use it several times a week, saw an immediate drop in power bills too, about $15-20 a month. Absolutely worth it.
@freefall101: Agree 100%. I previously ran my heat pump dryer from a spare bedroom & then a garage. Then I bought a freestanding home and now it lives in the laundry. We're running it almost daily with a new baby & the washing they produce, and haven't seen a spike in energy use besides heating costs for the last few weeks.
Don't be silly, we've got to consume our ways into a greener more energy efficient world remember!
All old dryers to landfill I say, for the planet!
Some people don't have dryers to start with.
Others may have a dryer that has died.
Others…
But don't let me get in the way of your high horse, I might get run over.
Lol obviously I'm talking about the majority of ozbargainers who are buying this to replace a perfectly functional dryer.
Most of the material in dryers can be recycled…
Is there actually much energy saving if it's properly vented?
Usually they have 1 star compared to the 7 or 8 stars of these heat pumps
Vented use roughly 2x the power for the same amount of clothes dried vs. a heat pump. Depends how much you use it.
Vented makes sense if you occasionally use the dryer, like only when it is raining. If you use your dryer everyday then heat pump pays for itself very quickly.

I've been meaning to pick one up from the side of the road for a while now. Would be handy for the very rare occasion we need our clothes dry quicker than the indoor clothes horse can manage.
I wonder if Bunnings will drop the price, ozito power tools style, as we get closer to the aldi sale date?
Anyone have info on why this one is cheaper than the OzB favourite EHPD7?
Is the smaller unit's Sensor function the main difference?
Wait no sensor on this one? Good pickup
I'm assuming this Stirling is the same as the Esatto EHPD80:
https://www.appliancesonline.com.au/product/esatto-8kg-heat-…
Where does it mention about the no sensor? I was looking at getting one but still on the fence about it.
Will auto turn off the dryer if senses the clothes are dry instead of running the set time
@Lolitsjoel: Thanks for explaining that. So the cheaper 7kg Esatto has auto off but the higher capacity 8kg doesn't? I guess 1kg is not going to kill me so maybe I might just wait for Ozbargains favourite heat pump dryer to go on sale then.
@Monty1089: I'm not sure where people are getting the idea this dryer doesn't have a sensor, but it obviously does. Just a quick glance at the manual makes it obvious that most of the drying programs are sensor controlled, not timed.
@JBark: Ok. So I just did some digging around and found the user manuals.
The Esatto EHPD80 doesn't seem to have a moisture sensor. It has a bunch of other sensors like humidity and temperature sensor. When I searched the user manual and typed moisture nothing came up. I assume moisture in terms of dampness and auto off if the clothes are sensed dry. Here is the manual:
https://static1.squarespace.com/static/60b4343adf3b1702ea342…
Now the Ozbargain favourite Esatto model EHPD7 does have a moisture sensor. In the manual it says clean the moisture sensor. See here:
https://static1.squarespace.com/static/60b4343adf3b1702ea342…
Now I am not sure if that is a mistake in the 8kg model where no moisture sensor is mentioned. So hopefully someone who owns one can comment if the dryer turns off well before the stated time. This would then indicate there is a moisture sensor.
@nicois: lol I didn't. But thanks. I also mentioned because 3 people have mentioned this 8kg dryer doesn't have the auto off moisture sensor so I am trying to figure out if it does or not. So if it has a humidity sensor then it's a worthy buy.
@Monty1089: They only mentioned it because the page on Appliances Online doesn't specifically advertise it like the 7KG does. But trust me, it has one, and like mentioned above, humidity and moisture are the same thing. They just changed the wording in the manual.
If a dryer has drying options besides just a basic timer, then it has to have a humidity/moisture sensor.
@JBark: So we’re back at my original question then - why is the 8kg Esatto currently cheaper than the 7kg?
No OzBargain’er has paid $859 for the smaller brother.
Agreed, but that's not relevant as the 7kg is currently $5 more than the 8kg, on appliancesonline:
$859: https://www.appliancesonline.com.au/product/esatto-ehpd7-7kg…
$854: https://www.appliancesonline.com.au/product/esatto-8kg-heat-…
You people cant handle the truth!
Which upcoming aldi sale op refers to?
$690.65 with trade
Less warranty im assuming
That myth has been debunked apparently…
I so want one of these but my laundry space is only 69cm deep when you factor in the fact the the dryer would have to sit against my laundry taps for the washing machine. Not sure if 4cm at the front clearance would be enough air flow space for these.
The depth on this is only 60CM. Most heat pump dryers are 65CM deeps, so I don't think it's deep enough in the first place.
Also the stand would have to be 123cm high to be above my taps, this is only 97CM.
While this looks good, it's dimensions doesn't solve my problem unfortunately.
Re. the depth - I'd say you need to consider the dryer's leg positions, not necessarily the overall depth of the dryer.
Height - can't help you there.
That's not a laundry, it's a cupboard!
Forget about venting, how do you expect to open it if there's only 4cm gap?
4CM gap when the doors are closed. I have to have the doors open to load/unload.
Btw those in SA can apply for a rebate of $262 for this dryer.
Edit: actually the rebate is for the EHPD7 model.Can you link some info? I'm in SA and my dryer just died.
Could google dryer rebate but here
https://yess.net.au/our-services/appliance-rebate/
Also fridge rebate too.Just applied for almost $500 back on a fisher and paykel heat pump dryer.
I did google it, but you must admit it's a bit unclear. I found the above but it wasn't a government website and looked like they just wanted people's email address for spam. Thanks for linking, anyways.
Beware if you have very old vented dryer.
You should checked your old vented dryer energy consumption, My parents had an very old 4 or 5kg vented dryer which consuming 680kwh for a year (or every 52 dry circles). I instantly bought a new 7kg vented dryer for my parents which consuming 328kwh. I bought myself a heat pump dryer consuming 144kwh after 2 years.
*All used once a week (multiple the energy cost if you use more), paying 30 cent/kwh
680kwh x 0.30 = $204 a year
328kwh x 0.30 = $98.4 a year
144kwh x 0.30 = $43.2 a year
What are peoples predictions for white good prices with regards to inflation? Will these deals be harder to come by in the future or will prices be more competitive for these types of items?
In the midst of the worst of it right about now IMO, with interest rates rapidly rising the world banks are trying to crush demand so things can catch up and the pricing spiral doesn't continue… But it's still got a while to run yet.
Very hard to tell. There's so many forces pulling this way and that, that to get an accurate answer you need to consider every force individually, then factor in how they interact with everything else and each other… it's complicated.
But things do seem to be slowing down. I personally would be buying stuff now, as if things get cheaper it's probably only going to be by 10-20%. But if they get more expensive, it might be by 50-100%.
I don't know. It's always a gamble
My Fujitsu aircon is a heat pump and I use it with an enormous clothes horse sitting under it. Not as quick, I will admit.
upvote for lol comment
My one of these that I have had for 5 years or so has just died (no longer turns, but it tries very hard to LOL!). Very very slow to dry a load - like 5 hours. Then sometimes it wasn't dry after 5 hours and had to press the start button again and wait another 5 hours.
Just changed over to a spare one in my garage (daughter moved house and new house came with dryer, so I got to keep her old one) and holy moly so much faster. It's just a fisher and paykel auto sense dryer.. but so so much faster. Washing is dry in an hour or so.
The esatto one is great though, just takes a real long time.
Also need to hook up the drainage pipe to the sink like you do a washing machine with the heat pump dryers.
That's often an indication that the capacitor has died. You can verify this by spinning the drum by hand, then starting the machine up (while the drum is still spinning).
If it is the capacitor, its a $10 part.
This apparently does reverse tumbling that should help reduce balling of large sheets. Anyone with it care to comment on this?
Can confirm it reverses to anticlockwise every four minutes for five seconds before resuming clockwise
This is in bed linen cycle
bought one in the last promo of 7kg. The machine was good. all dry in auto mode but no one mention about the noise of this machine. Mine is very noisy. is that normal? And i forgot to empty the water tank once, wondering where is the water go when the tank is full. Any idea?
Bought this one. I wouldn't consider it noisy. Yes you can hear it running, but nothing offensive.
The manual has an error code for if the tank is full. So I assume once it's full, it will stop and spit out the error code.
How is it compare to solt 7kg heat pump dryer GGSHPD70?
Just bought it and ran first load. Very low power draw and the lack of humidity in the laundry was a win.
Did you buy the deal one the EHPD80 from Bunnings? If so does it have a moisture sensor that turns off the dryer when it senses the clothes are dry? Or does it run on a timer and when the program is finished the dryer then turns off?
Yes from Bunnings. No sensor. Can run on timer
Does it have reverse tumbling?
No
*Edit. not sure. didn't watch it.Appliances online states it does have reverse tumbling.
Not sure, i didn't sit there and watch it. Clothes came out dry?
I’ve been sitting here watching mine on it’s first ‘refresh’ cycle that you’re meant to run before using and it’s only spinning clockwise
I can’t guarantee this but I’m almost positive within the last couple of minutes of the 20min cycle it reversed but I only caught the tail end of it before it finished
Further research needed
If you do a proper dry cycle can you check in to see if it does a reverse tumble?
The Esatto website does state that the EHPD80 does do a reverse tumble. It's in the specs:
https://esatto.house/laundry/p/8kg-heat-pump-dryer-ehpd80
Edit. Just saw your comment you posted seconds before me.
@Monty1089: Doing a bed linen cycle now
It automatically selects a time of 2.10 when you goto bed linen - this makes me consider if the cost savings vs vented dryer will be good enough to justify the cost. It means this is going to cost me 1600w over two hours whereas the vented would cost me 2250watts over one hour.
Sure there is a saving there but is it enough? The added time might kill the lower wattage savings.
after four minutes it stopped and reversed for five seconds and then carried on clockwise again
After 8mins it stopped and reversed for five seconds.
So the answer is yes but only once every so often?
- 1
- 2
Thanks didn’t know bunnings stocked them!
