Every cycle.
Does bunnings do set up like appliances online?
Nope, they just deliver.
Wouldnt we just get appliances online to price match then?
Appliances Online will also price match including the delivery fee ($50 delivery for Melbourne Metro). I'm also not sure if they match Bunnings, but you could always try.
Is it 50% better than this vented one from Kogan for $399?
FOUND IT! I was actually looking for this 4.5kg vented one, which Kogan was selling for $259 with free shipping in their EOFY sale just 2 weeks ago.
Yes.
Heat pump dryers use way less power than vented, and also this one is 8kg capacity so you can do a bigger load.
Upgrading from a vented dryer more than makes up for the sticker price once you get your power bill
Any significant reason to spend a bit more and get something like a Westinghouse or Bosch unit? Keen to get a heat pump unit but also don't want to buy cheap and end up with dramas.
I was in the same boat and ended up with a Bosch heat pump for around $1060. I've had the Bosch for 1 year and overall it's great. The only gripe is that is spins one way, if I am doing three sets of bedding it ends up in a ball. Other than that it can take 10 towels or 9kg of cotton laundry daily. If you go to the energy appliance website you'll find the high end models use a little less energy, you can compare models here:

For reference I've got a Bosch Serie 6 WTR85T00AU.
I have Serie 8 washer but couldn't justify the serie 8 heat pump which has the same specs just not the fancy LCD
It shows $457 annual usage using It 15 times a week, which is $8.78 a week for 15 loads. Around 50c a load. Give or take 2kW. 👌
It's the same motor that drives the drum and fan. If the drum spins the other way, the fan would have to as well, it will change the direction of air flow.
So most heat pump dryers don't do reverse during the drying cycle, but this particular one has an anti-crease function to reverse spin at the end of drying cycle.
Guys I got this last year and it is very good.
Recommendation if you have any issue to call up on warranty asap to repair (after undertaking all troubleshooting recommendations). This is because I did have one initial issue when it stopped working after about a week. I had tried everything but it didn't work so called the warranty hotline up - after asking all the troubleshooting procedures (which I already had done but repeated when I was on phone just in case) - they arranged for the technician to come out to check it. The technician/repairman who came out was awesome - explained it was not my fault (I had troubleshooted everything) and had a very common issue. Can't recall exactly but it is how some of the mechanics and the drum work (note, got nothing to do with moving screws, etc.). He said it is common with many dryers (not just Esato related issue) - but it is a pretty simple fix after opening it up. Gave me his direct contacts if anything occurs, etc. but it has been running perfectly since.
Thanks for this great advice!
Can anyone explain the potential differences between a heatpump dryer like this at $600 VS a $1,500 one? Been trying to google but they effectively do the same beside some creature comforts (like WiFi) is it just better materials/design and brand?
We have been using this nearly a year and pretty happy with it.
Apologies for the looong post.
We investigated heat pump dryers and ended up taking a different path. We instead bought a 35L dehumidifier and added more hanging racks to our laundry. After nearly 9 months of use even during cold Melbourne winter, we can say it is a success.
The dehumidifier works more effectively at temperatures above 20 degrees, so during winter all we do is to dry one load in our tumble dryer which in our case pushes the laundry room temperature to 23 degrees, once the dehumidifier is running it manages to hold the temperature at 20-23 for rest of the night.
We have enough racking to dry about 6 X 8kg loads of clothes. It takes about 8-9 hours to completely dry the clothes bone dry without torturing in a dryer drum. Thick items like trackpants and hoodies go in the 1 tumble dryer load.
We have dried shoes, pillows and quilts with no issues - anything you can hang/fit in the laundry dries in the 8-9 hours.
The water collected from dehumidifier is used in the garden and some in the steam iron and steam mop due to its salt/calcium free nature!
Tumble dryer also lives in the house and comes in handy when you want to dry something in a hurry.
Important point here is to be able to get laundry to 20 degrees or above.
Thinking to get 1 for my parents, I got myself a beko 7kg heat pump dryer which has 2nd filter before the sharp metal fin. I noticed this without the 2nd filter which means need to clean the fin very often, am I right? How hard to clean the fin? (My beko 2nd filter is a foam, which filter everything)
I’m adding to the general love for the Beko, which is great, and I do live in a cold wet region. However this is an excellent deal especially with the warranty. For those who say hang the washing on racks over heating ducts not everyone has ducted heating and even when it’s there it may not be switched on due to high energy costs so a budget heat pump dryer like this could be a Godsend.
Underrated benefit of using a dryer is the reduction of dust in the house. I vacuum the dust filter after every use.
Interesting. How does a dryer reduce dust? Does it somehow atract dust particles from over the whole house or some such?
Most dust can be traced back to your clothes shedding. Reduce the bulk of it by capturing it at the source.
Very tempted to get this but just not sure how to stack this on my Fisher & Paykel 7.5kg washer… I checked the dimensions, the F&P width is 600mm vs. Esatto's 595mm so that to me seems ok. however, the depth is where I'm concerned if it will work or not F&P's depth is 590mm vs. Esatto 650mm.
will this be a problem? if its workable, how do I stack? only space I have is to stack so can't keep anyhwere else.
TIA mob
Don't quote me on this, but I think heat pump dryers may be on the heavier side to stack. Sadly this could mean they have to sit side by side, or you will have to get a suitable stacking kit.
You can stack dryers on washing machine
Depths arent usually an issue as its the feet position that matters
I purchased beko 7kg heat pump dryer instead of this, because my washer depth also smaller than this. I’ve done some webs research, some people don’t recommend stacking bigger dryers on top of water. My beko haven’t moved a mm for 2+ years with a mat between. Beko heat pump dryer cost around $700 when sales though.
I like mine but I’m currently awaiting a call to get mine repaired which is the second time in 2 years . Failed within the first month and was replaced . Possibly gonna break down once a year
Wow, that's not very confidence inspiring.
Price is 693 now
Yeah, I'm getting the same.
IS this deal still on?
Why don't you click on the link and find out? Live life on the edge ;)
