Hi all, my Esatto heat pump dryer broke just after 2 years, but luckily they happy to refund my original purchase. Canr replace the model, as it's obsolete. Now I'm on the lookout for good value heat pump dryer under $1k. Any suggestion? Thanks

Surprisingly pretty easy going. Everything settled within 1 week. Money back in my bank now. I thought they were going to argue mine being 1 month outside warranty period, but they didn't. But have to say, little disappointed for something like heat pump dryer which I didn't really use much broke down so quickly.
They made a new version that's 8kg instead of the old 7kg, I'd look at that. Appliances online have it for $630 on their ebay site right now with the current ebay 10% off - https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/304545205332 (dunno if that's a good price or if it goes cheaper, but it seems reasonable).
Unfortunately doesn't post to me in WA. Also, being the first one broke down so quickly after minimal, not sure I'm willing to take the risk again.
Why is the 8kg cheaper than the 7kg one?
We have a Bosch Series 4 heat pump dryer. these are made in Poland. Our first heat pump dryer but very impressed with them. Appliances online has 10% off their eBay store which brings it down to $977ish (https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/284912786653) with free next day delivery- which does happen and were very impressed by this. The delivery guys are really friendly too unlike most delivery people we've dealt with.
This Beko has reverse tumble - which is the real key if you don't want a wrapped up ball of damp clothes. Seems the Bosch mentioned above doesn't reverse.
Have to say this is pretty impressive. 5 years warranty too.
Have the same model - I always just use the eco mode anyway but its like 3 hours though.
My bosch sucks for bedding cos no reverse
yeah. would be nice to have reverse tumble. I can't set and leave sheets, just need to check it at the end, unravel, put on another 30 min. so not a big deal.
if you can be bothered, theres net bags made for this, chuck the fitted sheet in there so it doesnt combine with everything else.
Got this from their ebay store. I'm sold with 10% off and 5 year warranty
I have this too. Pretty good so far with 5 years warranty.
Just realized how much the price has gone up. Inflation really stings
how much did you buy for?
Just did the same myself thanks to your post, managed to get it for $809 delivered with discounted ebay gift cards.
Have this 8KG Beko for just over a year: https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/beko-bdpb802sw-8kg-heat-p…
Great machine, automatically adjusts cycle time based on how wet/damp the clothes are. Barely notice the cost of running it. Sometimes with heavier items they get balled up/stuck slightly and have to put them back on for a little to finish them off, but generally it's rare. 5 year warranty too.
Beko are a huge name in Europe and are generally seen as good value yet good quality.
Have had this one for over 2 years and it does a good job drying clothes.

Was going to go with this, but Beko's 5 years warranty & appliance online won me over. With eBay's discount, it's only about $40 more, plus next-day delivery and old appliance removal. Can't fault that
Im also on the hunt for a heat pump dryer. Ive seen so many good reviews for the essato, especially at such a cheap price.
I mostly do a couple of big loads once a week. We own a 10kg washing machine and mostly fill it.
We are moving to a house that lacks space for the traditional hills hoist clothesline (which makes me so sad). We own a king bed and need a dryer that will be able to cope with king bed linen.. will a 7kg or 8kg heat pump dryer be too small?Too small for a 10kg load especially if you're washing multiple bedsheets. My Esatto only lasted 2 years, with minimal use, so the longevity part definitely don't get much point from me
Thanks for that. Do you know if the beko you got has much difference to the hybrid version? Or seems i might need 9kg or 10kg heat pump dryer then.
Hi Everyone,
I'm also looking at a new heat pump dryer, Choosing between:
Esatto 7kg ($585ish on eBay when in stock)
Esatto 8kg ($620ish on eBay when in stock)
Solt 8kg heat pump is $650 at TGGC (currently in stock for me)
And also the aldi sterling model (not released yet, but last year was $599 for 8kg)Can anyone help, do you think the Aldi model will be dearer than $599 this year? Which esatto model is better?
I think if the Aldi one will be dearer I would go with the Solt GGSHPD80 (Model number sounds the same so quite likely a rebranded one?)
Well I am not one to be patient, I purchased 7 Ultimate gift cards at 10% off, went to my Good Guys local store and converted them into a $650 good guys gift card.
I was able to get TGG retail to match TGG Commercial price (Solt at $650 instead of $799) and pay online using the the gift card.Total cost was $585 for the Solt 8kg dryer, cheaper than I could get the Esatto 8kg and looks to be basically the same thing.
Hello, Was there any issues in claiming the warranty, if not buy esatto again, you got two years at only electrical cost.
