    Are dryers worth it considering dryers at laundromats are $4-$5 for a cycle.

    I did the sums and if we get 87 weekends worth of rain then it’s worth getting the standard dryers (el cheapo) ones. This is factoring electricity usage cost of around $1.70 per cycle.

    Now if your looking into $1K plus territory, how does one work out the economic value of a dryer?

    Have been told of the time wasted waiting at the laundromat, however I use one where I can do my weekly market shop so time is not wasted per se.

    • corbz on 16/06/2018 - 19:23
      +12

      What about travel time, distance to laundromat, ability to multi task, leave clothes unattended, stay at home, any time, set timers? There’s a lot more to factor in.

    • spaceflight on 16/06/2018 - 19:24

      how does one work out the economic value of a dryer?

      Convenience. The same reason people have a washing machine instead of taking their clothes to a laundromat.

      You don't have to take your washing anywhere.
      If your clothes are on the line and it rains you can finish them in the dryer.
      Fuel, travel, parking costs as not everyone can dry clothes where they shop.

      Plus some people only dry clothes in a dryer add they don't have a clothes line or don't want to use it.

      This is factoring electricity usage cost of around $1.70 per cycle

      A 4kg vented dryer or 10kg heat pump dryer costs around $500 over 10 years in electricity when used once a week.
      That's less than $1 per use.

      If a laundromat is $5 to dry your clothes then you save $4 per week by having a clothes dryer.
      That's $2000 over 10 years you have saved.
      Take out $500 in running costs and $300-1000 to buy a dryer and you are still saving money compared to a weekly laundromat visit.

      • jlogic on 16/06/2018 - 21:23

        You forget we live in a very sunny country. I suspect you wouldn’t run a dryer every week.

        So far this year have used the laundromat dryer twice and that was due to emergency washing caused by vomit by a toddler.

        • spaceflight on 16/06/2018 - 21:25

          I didn't forget.
          I did say that some people only dry clothes in a dryer as they don't have a clothes line or don't want to use it.

          you forget that some of us have solar and a lot of us prefer soft warm dryer clothes than hard, tough sun dry

        • the4thzodiac on 17/06/2018 - 14:46

          so how do you dry your clothes if you are in an apt for example, aren't the clothes out of the wash still wet (to some degree)?

    • conant on 16/06/2018 - 19:27

      Hygienically speaking…

      • jlogic on 16/06/2018 - 21:21

        That’s what my wife said… I said the heat would of killed off all the germs in there.

        • spaceflight on 16/06/2018 - 21:37
          +2

          Dryers only heat up to around 60 degrees which will not kill all viruses and bacteria (you wouldn't heat water to 60 degrees to make it safe to drink)

          The temperature should kill most/all things that live in our on people as they generally live at 38 degrees.

          I'm not saying that communal washing or drying is unhealthy, it's common in European apartment complexes and they don't have. But 60 degrees isn't "safe" to kill things.

          The dry atmosphere will also help kill things.

    • [Deactivated] on 17/06/2018 - 00:51

      I just use a clothesline. I guess I'm lucky to have room for one.

      If I didn't have a clothesline, I'd buy a dryer. There's no way I'd be travelling to a laundromat over and over again. My time is worth more than that.

      • jlogic on 17/06/2018 - 10:46
        +1

        Well if you can leave it unattended then it’s a different story. I do my fruit and veg shop while it is in the dryer at the laundromat at the markets.

        Definitely if it was a separate trip the economics of it out weigh the costs and tip it to purchasing even a cheap one to help out.

    After wasting 8 hours of my life researching heat pump dryers… This is the overall best-rated model on the market based on user reviews and is ahead of the Miele and AEG dryers. It is also a like for like of the Siemens IQ800 model- Made in Poland and with all the same features (Bosch-Siemens being the same company). The Siemens sells for $500 more based on RRP.

    Cracker of a deal!

    • choister on 16/06/2018 - 19:33

      That's interesting. I thought AEG would be better given its 5 yr warranty vs bosch's 2 yr.

      • samprofs on 16/06/2018 - 20:06

        The user reviews are inferior. There could be a bias by users as they have higher expectations of AEG's high price.

        AEG seems no different than the Electrolux with a few features. I have had nothing but issues with an AEG induction cooktop.

        Beko dryers are also really good and come with 5 yr warranty. The high end sensor range seems solid.

      • cooni on 17/06/2018 - 09:38

  • MrGareth on 16/06/2018 - 19:28

    How much more efficient are these really compared to a standard dryer? I'm still using an el-cheapo 4kg dryer and you can definitely see the electricity use spike on the days I use it!

    • [Deactivated] on 16/06/2018 - 19:56

      You may save $100-150 per year depending how often you use it. Basically half the electricity cost.

      But if I'm not mistaken this model takes longer to dry?

    • [Deactivated] on 16/06/2018 - 19:58
      +2

      7 stars vs 2 stars max. probably

      15% difference in each star so about 56-63% less energy. If you use these every other day or more frequently you'll definitely be ahead.

      If you want some $$$ figures plug your current model and this one into http://www.energyrating.gov.au/calculator

    • spaceflight on 16/06/2018 - 19:58

      The cheapest ventilated dryer is a 4kg Euromaid and it will cost $431 over 10 years if used once per week.

      You can get a 10kg Asko dryer which will only cost $373 over 10 years used once per week.

      So drying 6kg more clothes uses less energy with a heat pump dryer.

      A gas dryer should be even cheaper than a heat pump, but they dont seem to be energy star rated.

      • J5 on 17/06/2018 - 05:23

        Gas dryers are rated but your choice in Australia to gas dryers is sfa

        • [Deactivated] on 17/06/2018 - 12:25

      I spoke to Bosch about this last week (I’ve got an Electrolux washer) and they said if I stack it on a brand other than Bosch it’ll void warranty.

      • spaceflight on 16/06/2018 - 20:38

        That sounds like a lie or they are trying to scare you in to buying a Bosch washing machine.

        The only way they could try and void your warranty is if the install manual tells you to only install it on top of a Bosch unit
        https://www.bosch-home.com.au/metapages/warranty

        iv) the appliance is damaged as a direct result of incorrect installation or being used for a purpose for which it not designed, sold or otherwise not in accordance with any instructions for installation and use.

        • cala90 on 16/06/2018 - 21:17

          Wow, just had a read through it all myself. Looks like you’re right, but could they say it’s been incorrectly installed if stacked on another brand?

          I was talking to a retailer and they said it could be stacked but to double check with Bosch themselves about the warranty, which is what I did. I asked Bosch if the warranty would be void if stacked on another machine and her answer straight out was “yes!”

          Edit: just had a read through the instruction manual:

          " Washer-dryer stack connection kit: To save space, the dryer can be placed on top of a suitable washing machine of the same width and depth.
          Only this connection kit may be used to secure the dryer to the washing machine.
          – Order number with pull-out
          worktop: WTZ11400
          – Order number without pull-out
          worktop: WTZ20410."

          "The appliance MUST be
          secured with this connection
          set. Stacking the appliance in any other way is forbidden"

          Not 100% sure, but I'm pretty sure those stacking kits only suit Bosch washing machines.

          @alo1234:

          Not a bad idea, but I'm short on space and not sure I could find somewhere to put it that wouldn't look suss lol.

          Plus, would they know it's been stacked somehow? Hmmm..

        • spaceflight on 16/06/2018 - 22:49

          @cala90:

          Those kits make it look nicer and also provide something to stop the dryer falling off the washing machine.

          The part that is relevant to the warranty is

          The appliance MUST be secured with this connection set. Stacking the appliance in any other way is forbidden

          Meaning that they could void your warranty if you do not use the kit, even if you place it on top of another Bosch machine.

          If they tried to do that then taking it up under the ACL should see you win.

        • cala90 on 16/06/2018 - 22:53

          @spaceflight:

          Yeah, I understand there's no way around doing it without using one of those stacking kits. The problem is, I'm not sure the Bosch stacking kits would suit my non Bosch washing machine.
          So I guess I'd have to take a risk and sit it on top then hope the ACL is on my side should something go wrong..

        • Sigiriya on 17/06/2018 - 08:16

          @cala90: I am on the same boat. I went to Goodguys and they dont sell stacking kits for any brand on their store and said everybody put it under the anti slip rubber mats they are selling. I was on the same opinion that Bosch cannot refuse stacking it on top of another brand and ACL will kick in. Did you look at the possibility of use the stacking kit for the washer brand? As far as I understand it is fixed to the washer and then dryer just sits on top of it. There are few locks to keep the dryer feet moving though.

Actually I will be right back, just want to check that one of the kids does not have the dryer stacked on top of them haha

    • binary01 on 17/06/2018 - 09:08

      The heat pump dryers use a reverse refrigeration cycle to get much more heat per kW of electricity than a conventional vented dryer.
      I have siemens IQ800 (similar to this) and it is great on efficiency. Doesn't get the clothes as hot or as bone dry as vented dryer but I think that is a good thing.

        1 out of 5, reviewed on Aug 17, 2017
        We paid 1800 dollars for a dryer that does not work on any setting.
        Rang customer service to be told it is okay for the clothes to be damp and if serviceman comes out we may be charged.
        Sorry but not good all round we feel so disappointed because bosch were always reliable."

        Look, this dryer is fine if you don't need to dry clothes.

        But if you have kids, or a job, or need to actually dry clothes then don't buy these dryers.

        If you must buy one, PLEASE BUY MINE.

          I have the FP DE8060P2 that has the same comments of not drying and I have no problems with it. Sounds like a user error or poor customer service.

          Apparently condenser and heat pumps doesn't dry as quick as a vented dryer and will require a cooling cycle (built into the FP) before all the dampness evaporates but I leave it on low heat at extra dry and don't have a problem and I expect this to be the same.

          That's cool. I appreciate your opinion and will take it into consideration before deciding on this dryer.

          Was considering it as I use our sensor dryer (that we got for free) every day, most days just to finish off clothes that haven't fully dried outside. But with winter weather coming, I've got no other option but to use the dryer. Have already seen a noticeable jump in our electricity bill since summer.

          @cala90: I have exactly the same model and I can say that it does a fantastic job! Clothes come out dry but it is different to a normal dryer as they feel a little damp to the touch but the minute you pick them up from the pile and give them a shake they are all good. Super happy with it and I don't understand the others that have had issues. One thing that you really have to do is clean the lint filter after EVERY load. Forget a few times and the drying performance suffered.

Items do still feel a little damp when they have finished and this causes some issues in our household with some members not being very happy with it. Overall I'd buy it again and at this price it's a bargain but be aware that it's not a product that will please everyone.

    Can someone please clarify whether I can purchase this product and they'll deliver even if my local store(s) have no stock? TIA

      Yes they will, for $50.14 (for me anyway). It'll come from the warehouse I assume, not a store.

    Bought two of these over past 3 years.

    Paid $1102 last xmas inc 10% off with DJ gift cards for the dryer.

    First one has run for 3 years and never missed a beat- only downside is having to empty the water container.

    Stacked it with a Bosch WAW28460AU ($719.28 inc DJ Gift card 10%) using Bosch recommended kit.

    Nil problem with either product and dryer used a lot.

    Very good price cala90 and doubt you will get it cheaper.

    • cala90 on 16/06/2018 - 22:46

      Awesome. I also doubt I'd get it cheaper, this price is insane (have had an eye on it for about a year). Only really needed one in the last few months but the stacking warranty issue sort of puts me off.

    • binary01 on 17/06/2018 - 09:14

      Can you plumb the water container to the drain with this model? I have a very similar model (branded Siemens) and it came with a kit to do so. Saves me needing to empty it.

      • bloom on 17/06/2018 - 11:31

        Yep mines plumbed to a drain, never needs to be emptied

  • ibuy on 16/06/2018 - 23:16

    Can this dryer be hung on a wall?

      Can this Bosch heat pup dryer be wall mounted, or is it too heavy?

      Hi Hurricane Sandy,
      Thanks for your question regarding the Bosch WTW87565AU Dryer.
      Our dryers cannot be wall mounted, they can be stacked on top of a Bosch washing machine with the use of a stacking kit.
      If you have any further queries, please feel free to contact us on 1300 369 744 to discuss further.
      Regards, Bosch Home Australia.

        The Bosch machines use weight to reduce noise and movement to German expectations.

        In comparison my old LG was so light I could lift and walk around with it- move house on my own, etc. A 5.5kg machine that I could literally walk down the street holding. The Bosch is almost too heavy for two strong people. Clearly not popular with thieves!

        Hanging one on a wall, if you had one that wouldn't be structurally damaged by the turning moment exerted on it, would require lifting gear and heavy steel mounts.

        Bosch's lawyers probably don't want the impact of customers wanting compensation for squashed husbands, etc.

        Thank you all above

    How does this compare to Fisher & Paykel DH8060P1 8kg Heat Pump Dryer?

      I would like to know that as well. Lots of positive reviews for Fisher & Paykel DH8060P1.

    Good Guys a.k.a Shifty Guys sold us the SMEG CS9GMXA oven (1/6/18) was a bargain at 3080.00 (retail 3299.00) less than 2 weeks its on their site for 2713.00. People don't rush on the first discount you see like we did. we lost 367.00 dollars from GG. when I spoke to the prospect store NSW they brushed us off. not even with a small fraction coupon or anything. I'm devastated. Never set foot in their store again.

      I bought a fridge online at the start of the year for $200.
      2 weeks later it was on their site for $150. I went instore and they were happy to give me a $50 refund into my card (I'd paid with PayPal initially).
      So I'm not quite sure what you're on about.
      I'm sure you could've claimed it under this: https://www.thegoodguys.com.au/30-day-price-guarantee

      • Folly on 17/06/2018 - 14:57

        The price guarantee doesn't cover the Good Guy's own prices. Best bet would be to try to find an eligible competitor that has brought their advertised price down to match TGG, or use price protection on your credit card (if applicable).

    I need to buy a dryer but choice mag says this one is very slow to dry the clothes. Can anyone confirm choice mag are right?

    Price is very good and the cost to dry per load is very cheap.

    • spaceflight on 17/06/2018 - 19:39

      Vented dryers are the fastest.

      Condensing and heat pumps are slower, but save electricity.
