        • I had an old dryer many years ago that had a cold mode. It was good for finishing clothes and removing lint from dry clothes.

      • but you cant wall mount them?

      I had one die in warranty (belt went)
      Esatto were actually great tho.
      Offered replacement + keep existing ($20 belt).
      I went with a refund @ $650 & repurchased a new one off eBay for $550 (delivered/installed) because it come with new 2 years warranty.
      It also allowed to claim rebate
      So it worked out I got a new dryer, 2yrs warranty and $240 back in my pocket.

    Have a 14 year old Westinghouse 6kg vented dryer, inherited from grand parents. I've used it pretty rigorously over the past 5 years, still going strong.

    They don't build them like they used to.

      Grandparents, or the dryer?

    To those asking if this can be stacked with a front loader washing machine, yes.

    This is my stack

    I use these rubber squares from Bunnings on the dryer feet. No vibration. Works fine so far.

    • are the 50x50 squares big enough? Or would it be better to go the 100x100 to give the feet a bit of room incase it does move slightly?

      • so far I haven't seen it move at all (used at least 3x/pw) and that 50x50 is perfect for me…going to a larger size won't make any difference in terms of vibration absorption as it falls down to the rubber thickness and properties, not the surface area.

        • yeh nice. Contemplating going the larger size anyway as they are slightly thicker too by the looks (12mm vs 15mm) and could just cut one oft hem down to give 4 50x50 and end up with spare rubber pads for other uses hah.

  • Havent owned a dryer before and I've only used the self serve laundromats in the past, how long does this take to dry a load (approx)?

    I would like to have a dryer in the garage. Has anyone here tried this? Do you have any issues with insects getting into the dryer?

    I bought one. My car doesn't have a tow ball so i hired a ute. $28 total from bunnings. Not too bad.

  • Found one at my local store and could convince for $290 as it was last piece

  • Picked mine up yesterday.
    Flicking through the instructions is mentioned hooking up the hose to drain; is this required or can it be used with just the water container? Doesn’t make it clear in the instructions.

    Also what load to people usually use? I remember reading people saying to just stick it on auto, but this one doesn’t have an auto setting?

    • You can use the internal water container. Just be sure to empty it after each load.

  • I picked one up for 399. So far it’s worked incredibly well but I did have an issue. The other day I walked into water on the floor, thought it was the was washer but it turns out it was the dryer. Every time I moved it more dripped out and it was real sloshy. Eventually I turned it on and it all pumped out. I’m running a test load atm into the drawer and it’s taken 30min before water pumped into the container. (Yesterdays test produced water into it) Anyone had anything similar?

  • Great price - I got mine almost 2 years ago for $719.
    Has been fantastic, however I noted that recently it has started to leave the clothes smelling musty / damp.
    This model doesn't have a removable filter in front of the heat exchanger - you have to vacuum the lint direct and it's difficult.
    I've been leaving the maintenance hatch and door open 24/7 now in the hope that I can get rid of the odour.
