Not a bad price but no free delivery. Costs $90 delivery to an inner sydney suburb. Heat pump dryers are heavy so bring a trolley and 2 people to lift.
Edit: revised to 8kg. Typo

Works for me.
8kg or 9 kg I can't find any Essato 9kg Dryer online and even on Essato website
Ah, maybe the OP made a mistake in the title. It's 8kg.
Correct. The link is definitely to a different item.
My bunnings never has any of the big items I want, so annoying.
WA never sell this can of staff
Selling a can of staff would be illegal on so many levels.
Wonder what the going rate is…
@Bdawg: Need to more specific, fully assembled or unassembled staff?
I’m from SA, and cans/barrels of people is our speciality.
Pretty sure there are Japanese vending machines that do
I believe there's one store that does down Armadale way. It's something to do with WA's retail laws meaning that if they carried white good they'd have restricted hours on Sundays.
what a strange law
Don't forget you can borrow a free trailer from Bunnings for up to 2 hours to take this home!
Is it not an 8kg model????
Don't fat shame
Funny timing as I just had a technician out yesterday looking at ours… Even with proper maintenance, the drying performance just kept getting worse. He said he deals with these models a ton, and said to apply for our money back and put towards a better model. He recommended LG and Fisher Pykel as the 2 best.
How long till this happened?
We've had it for about a year now. We actually got it as a replacement for our Stirling (Aldi) heat pump dryer that we also had for about a year. The Stirling one seemed a bit better performance-wise but some plastic snapped at the bottom which caused it to leak, so they replaced it with the Esatto. From the first few cycles we could tell the Esatto was slightly worse and over the last year it's just getting worse. The clothes are just more and more damp still when it finishes so we need to run it through another cycle.
Just fyi if you dont know this dryer has two seperate air filters. Might be worth checking that both filters are clear
@gruffjaguar: Agreed. There’s one behind the plastic panel and the bottom. Need to clear in pretty regularly, and it’s a bit awkward. Old toothbrush does the trick
@gruffjaguar: Yup I found that out with the original Stirling one when it started leaking. They asked me first to check the filter below and it was pretty dirty. Kept it maintained since on the Esatto.
Interesting….have had this model for 2 years…fingers crossed still keeps going
Bit a lottery with white goods these days regardless. Just look at reviews online across brands and models. I've had an Essato heat pump dryer 2 years or so now, seems to still work OK. Always just used "auto". Funnily enough the start button broke early on and its permanently kinda pushed in, but it still works by gently pressing it. Probably should of got someone out to fix it but never did. We usually only use it during winter so maybe thats why its still working…
True. Which makes a decent warranty so important.
They mostly come with similar warranty periods. A decent retailer i'd argue is more important then to invoke ACL.
Pretty sure appliances online does price matching.
They said they don't price match bunnings
Gave me their best price of 699 delivered.
20 bucks extra to remove waste and install if
you include delivery fee from bunningsYeah, tried price matching too and they said they can't and gave me a list of retailers they can price match. Which are:
Betta Electrical
Big W
Bing Lee
David Jones
E&S
The Good Guys
Harvey Norman
JB HiFi
Joyce Mayne
Myer
Retravision
Target
Appliance Central
Could this be stacked above/below a washer?
I got the aldi one 2 years ago and stacked it on top of my washer. I put in a rubber mat in between to help absorb the micro-movements. Been doing alright.
I got this dryer about a week ago and stacked it on top of my LG WV5-1208 washer (which is not very deep).
I bought a rubber stacking mat from Good Guys for ~$50 and a 5m cam-buckle strap to go around the whole lot - might be overkill but better to be safe than sorry.
No issues at all so far. Just make sure your washer is level before you start and level the dryer once stacked
I bought one of these about a year ago. My power bill dropped and along with the SA government energy rebate it paid for itself in about 6 months.
(Rebate through YESSS solutions)Link to stock checker:
https://bunnings.youinstock.com.au/search/0637560I got one from the Appliances Online deal delivered for about $590. Early days but works well and the real kicker for me is being able to put everything in it including synthetics which I can do with my conventional dryer.
Anybody have this dryer that can comment on use and/or quality
I've had mine for about a month, works fine for towels/sheets.
I have this dryer since late 2021. It work as intended, a little loud while running. We use it alot this year winter( a few times per week). I have found that on standard cycle, thick clothing like jacket is still not as dried. The liner catcher need to be emptied after every single cycle.
I have the 8KG and its great but I used to have the 7KG and it failed after 4 years to what is a known issue by Essato.
I did complain and they did send the part for free but to replace the part you had to disassemble 90% of the dryer which basically requires a professional.
I ended up just buying a new one and hoping they have fixed the known issue (They claimed they did but I doubt the customer service person knows)
8kg isn’t heavy. I can bench 9kg.
No Stock in SA
call me sabrina carpenter because thats that me essato
Thanks, bought it at $559.55 with PowerPass.
Had it running very smoothly for exactly 2 years 5 days and the drum stopped rotating. Contacted Essato and they were kind enough to organize refund through Bunnings. So its a hit and miss from my perspective
Are they stackable over a samsung washing machine? And wil we require a stacking kit?
I put anti vibration legs on my washing machine. For the dryer stacked on top, I bought one of those anti vibration mats.
Get the Samsung heat pump dryer instead. It is amazing and so cheap to run. And the aesthetics of matching units…
