    If people are not aware, heat pump dryers dry clothes at a lower temperature. This means that drying can take longer, but is normally better for the clothes.
    Typical heat pump will be 50% more efficient per hour, factoring in the longer drying times bring is down to ~45%, which is frigging amazing.
    Longer running times would be anywhere from 5-15minutes per load.

    Highly recommend heat pump dryers, as a dryers cost a bomb to run, and no point having an appliance if you don't want to use it.

      Yeh heatpumps take closer to twice as long compared to a condenser not 5 to 15min, when you talking about the same dryness level. Heatpumps dry at around 50deg. If you like to save time in between loads, I'd go condenser, they really don't cost that much to run compared to the time your saving…. If you go with a heat pump get a hybrid which still has a heating element in it too

      • UltimateAI on 20/06/2022 - 12:37

        Perhaps varies by what you are drying and how well they were spun. Like a front load washer gets a lot more water out in the spin cycle, but found Towels took 45minutes in the condenser, and around 1 hr in the heat-pump. But now I think about it, the condenser had a decent cool down period. So the actual drying time probably was closer to double.
        Hybrids are better, but find they are too complex and double your chances of failure.

          Whoever saying old vented dryer take 1 hour to dry isn't telling the whole truth, a full load with cotton and fleece in there will take 2 hour easy. I did a like for like comparison a few months back, the old dryer used 3.9kwh and the new heat pump 8 series was 1.3kwh,those figures are consistent.. Now into winter with thicker clothing and less favourable ambience condition, my heat pump is 1.7kwh per load.
          The things making heat pump standing out is built-in condenser, if you don't want the whole laundry goes mouldy and paint peelling off then it's a great choice. Condenser dryer can do that but the cost difference is minimal so you're better off with heat pump.

          • UltimateAI on 20/06/2022 - 13:05

            @lgacb08: I was referring to my own personal experience. Shikes never run either new or old dryer for more than 1hr, we would never get through the washing.
            Do you have a front load washer? I referred to them above as they dry the clothes a lot better

      Longer drying time also means more mechanical action happening in the drum, which will reduce the lifecycle of fabric/cloths.

      I have an Esatto and I’d choose heat pump over conventional dryer without hesitation.

      • UltimateAI on 20/06/2022 - 13:10

        You would think so, but not according to studies. The lower heat more than offsets any additional damage from longer tumble times.
        But heck we all know drying damages clothes, which is one reason why towels feel fluffy after drying.

    • naira on 20/06/2022 - 13:15

      There are several heat pumps and based on my discussion with friends and relatives, it seems the newer ones dries quicker. Maybe some older models can do that also but you will have to research on that. We have a vented dryer and it dries clothes in 1 hour. We bought the newer LG (LG DVH9-09B 9kg Heat Pump Dryer) a month ago and it can dry the same clothes in 1hour 10min.

      I will say heat pump dryer consume less than 50% power compare to tumble/condenser dryer. Heat pump dryer usually doesn't humid and dirty your house which is similar to condenser dry.
      compare my last old cheap dryer, it take 1hr to dry cloth and cost around 6.25kwh each circle (325kwh/year).
      My new heat pump dryer (just cheap Beko) take 1.5hr to dry cloth and cost around 2.77kwh each circle (144kwh/year)
      Every dryer is different, just my personal experince after using 2 tumble dryer and 1 heat pump dryer during last 12 years.
      I suggest heat pump over tumble dryer if you don't have solar like me and paying around $0.30/kwh. My heat pump $0.80 per run, my old tumble dryer $2 per run. Especially you don't have place to wind dry your clothes.

  • Gina Rinehart on 20/06/2022 - 12:27

    I'm really holding out for a good deal on the Esatto 7kg Heat Pump, I reckon for $600~ that would be hard to beat, but seems like maybe it isn't going to come on sale :(

    $1140 at TGG commercial.

    • macmanluke on 20/06/2022 - 15:28

      $1110 for me

    • aeon05 on 20/06/2022 - 18:13

      Was the same for me but $55 delivery and have to wait longer for stock to arrive at my local (Sunbury)

  • King Steuart on 20/06/2022 - 12:29

    Wifey was looking into these the other day. Apparently everything below Series 8 is made in China but 8 and up (if there is an up?) are made in Germany

    • Waygood_deals on 20/06/2022 - 12:33

      Looks like this is from Poland off winnings. Same as the series 8 dryer.

      China isn't always bad\poor quality, it's got that reputation as that is where you go for cheap junk.
      When dealing with Bosch, their Chinese factory will have higher levels of automation and churn our more consistent quality. I wouldn't read too much into where a product is made.

      • BradH13 on 20/06/2022 - 13:11

        I'd like to reinforce this opinion.

        Country of origin doesn't matter. It's about how it's designed, how it's built (what mix of human labour/automation), and how strict quality control is.

        China has levels of quality like any other manufacturing nation.

        That being said; I don't think I'd expect any large appliance from any country of origin to last more than 10 years anymore. They all cheap out on whatever they can to build to a price point, and hope for the best you'll buy another one of their machines when the current one dies.

    • fdczhong on 20/06/2022 - 15:00

      I see many people just want to buy cheap stuff but keep complaining about the quality.

      80-90% of iphones are made in China. The more you pay, the better quality you get.

      It happens everywhere not just for things that are made in China.

    Have been waiting for the 10 star dryer to go on sale but maybe not worth it over this one (around $620 difference on TGG commercial)

    https://www.appliancesonline.com.au/product/bosch-serie-8-8k…

    Or this one for about $1280

      We bought the WTX88M20AU for $1799 at Harvey Norman a couple of months back. We went in with the intention of buying the WTR85T00AU, but there was a 3 month wait.

      Couldn't be happier with the one we bought though. It's whisper-quiet and always leaves clothes and sheets completely dry.

      • Waygood_deals on 24/06/2022 - 08:05

        Ended up getting the WTX88M20AU for around $1540 from the good guys in a package deal.

      Energy efficiency becomes diminishing returns after a point. Using the energy ratings for these products, getting the 10-star model over the 8-star model will save you about $18/yr in power. Granted, this does only assume 1 load a week - but unless you're after additional features, it's probably not worth the extra outlay.

      • Tardvark on 21/06/2022 - 19:15

        Also integrates into Home Assistant I'm led to believe.

  • Abaddon on 20/06/2022 - 13:24

    Just took delivery of a F&P Condensor from Appliances Online ebay (5% off plus shopback gift card cashbacks).

    I was pretty tempted by this Bosch heat pumper for higher efficiency but went the other way for a few reasons (which might help others).

    • Bosch don't do reversing tumble on their dryers, it's one way only, so expect to have a lot more issues with tangling, especially with sheets, etc.
    • Heat pump dryers are a lot slower and I've read don't dry as thoroughly (my wife likes things very dry, so I'd assume running this thing multiple times kills the efficiency benefits).

    Comes down to your use case and habits I guess.

    I just asked about a different product and the chat told me their EOFY sale starts tomorrow. I'll wait and see if any better deals on heat pump dryers.

    • macr0hard on 20/06/2022 - 16:18

      darn! just bought this as I had been looking for a while and got sick of waiting and items being out of stock. If this gets discounted tomorrow I'd kill myself. Wondering if they'd give me a refund if I cancel it now and order tomorrow

      • Gina Rinehart on 20/06/2022 - 16:20

        You could probably ask them tomorrow once you confirm if it is on sale or not, they might be willing to refund the difference.

        • macr0hard on 20/06/2022 - 16:27

          yeah just called, they suggested to change the delivery date till this Fri and if the item is discounted before then I'd just have to call them back and they'd refund the difference. 5* service if it will be all as smooth as it sounds

  • Ramrunner on 20/06/2022 - 14:23

    Newb question - I've always avoided heat pump because when I first looked at them read that they can't be wall mounted due to all the extra weight.

    Is that still the case? I don't have room to sit it anywhere I really need it mounted on the wall. My current dryer on the wall is crap. Thinking anything will be better.

    • Astronaut Joe on 20/06/2022 - 15:06

      Heat pump dryers are usually around 50kg in weight. That's an awful lot to mount on a domestic wall for an appliance that is going to vibrating back and forth. Bosch certainly are definite about not mounting their heat pump dryers to the wall, I can't imagine that other brands would be different.

      Ditto for condenser dryers. Too heavy for wall mounting.

    • Celorne on 20/06/2022 - 16:31

      Definitely still the case. Can always stack the dryer on top of the washer assuming the washer has the same (or larger) footprint.

      • Ramrunner on 20/06/2022 - 16:45

        Washer is unfortunately an older top loader. I say unfortunately as I think I'd be pointed out the door by the wife before the washer will :)

        Thanks for the responses guys.

  • ak hunter on 20/06/2022 - 14:30

    recently got an electrolux (EDH903BEWA) and friggin amazing and good reviews

    • Waygood_deals on 20/06/2022 - 16:59

      The reverse tumble dryer is tempting. Did you get an Electrolux washer to go with?

    • Terra Australis on 20/06/2022 - 20:07

      looks good at 1509

    • mxlmxlmxl on 20/06/2022 - 20:45

      Whats annoying, is I have a Bosch washer, but can't bring myself to buy their dryers as they get terrible reviews and new ones are no longer made in Germany (like washer and my other Bosch appliances) so other than aesthetics, anything else is better… But I can't get past it not matching but this Electrolux ticks all the boxes ha

    • annielee on 21/06/2022 - 08:26

      Ive been using Electrolux for about a year, and really loved the reverse tumble dry, nothing comes out in a ball :-) got it last year for about $1100 during ebay sales

  • macr0hard on 20/06/2022 - 19:24
