[NSW] Haier 8kg HDHP80AN1 Heat Pump Dryer $888 + Delivery ($0 to Bankstown/ NSW C&C) @ Appliances Warehouse

320

Was looking for a Heat Pump Dryer and saw this deal. After checking could find that Appliances Warehouse had the model Haier HDHP80AN1 for $888. Price matched with JB Hi-Fi since Appliances Warehouse is not in the distributor list for the bonus $100 Visa gift card. Use JB Hi-Fi gift cards for further discounts.

Happy with my 5 year old Haier washer hence decided to go with Haier instead of Bosch for similar price.

Note: The lowest The Good Guys could do was $989 since Appliances Warehouse is not in their competitor list.

    My washing machine's broke, I'm trying to buy a new one, see
    But the CCP's got a mandate, just for little old me.
    They're pushin' Haier, sayin' it's the only way to be,
    But I want a Bosch, man, can't you see?

    Probably a dumb question but are these as bad for your clothes as Vented Dryers or same ??

    • +4

      To put it simply, Heat Pump Dryers are better for your clothes as they uses sensors to detect the moisture that is left in the garments. They also do not reach as high of a temperature as a vented dryer as they are not using a heating element.
      Note that Heat Pump Dryers will take longer to dry because of this but the pros are they are not using anywhere near the same amount of power, they do not discharge a massive amount of humid air into the room and are more gentle on your garments. * Note that if the garment is labelled as "Do not put in the dryer" that includes Heat Pumps as it often means it is made with synthetics/plastics that will cause the garment to shrink even under lower heat. *

      Edit : Just a note as well, Heat Pump Dryers cannot be wall mounted.

      • Thank You 😊

          No worries,
          I would personally still go with Bosch at this price point and it is on sale currently for a similar price point ( WTH83001AU ).

      • You seem to know a bit about these, what's more reliable? A heat pump dryer? Or traditional dryer?

        Also what wins on repair ability?

        • +4

          Going to be a bit of a story and I will try to make it simple :D

          Reliability or ability to repair with a Heat Pump Dryer has a lot more to do with the brand/manufacturing.
          Naturally a Heat Pump would be more prone to faults compared to a traditional vented dryer because there is much more going on inside and all part of why you pay more.

          It is also why I would suggest a Bosch as all of their Heat Pumps are made in their own factory in Poland and parts are super accessible that they even let consumers order direct in a simple manner and because they do so much in house they keep parts for 15+ years.
          I will put a link below as an example using the Bosch I recommend earlier, if you scroll through it is also a great example of how much tech goes into a Heat Pump Dryer.

          https://www.bosch-home.com.au/supportdetail/product/WTH83001…

          A Heat Pump Dryer is a system that loops.
          It blows the humid air from your garments through 2 or 3 lint filters and over a compressor/fins and then through an evaporator that cools the air in which a condenser collects the moisture from that air and collects the moisture in the container at the top left or most heat pumps have the option to drain this water out with a hose supplied.
          The air then passes condenser coils that heat the air and back into the drum and it repeats the process.
          There are sensors inside the drum that monitor the moisture level of the garments in order not to damaged them and is how they look after your garments and don't make them "crispy" dry like a traditional vented dryer.

          In comparison, a traditional vented dryer is a large heating element and fan that blows hot air through a very basic single filter and into the drum and then just blows it out of a vent from the front or rear.
          This is why a traditional vented dryer is faster but the higher heat damages your garments and if not ducted or being vented in a enclosed space it causes moisture build up in the room or even lint everywhere.
          This is also why they often only have 1 or 2 Star Efficiency and a Heat Pump will have 7 to 10 Star Efficiency as a traditional vented it is like a hairdryer in a box.

          Vented dryers have peaked in terms of technology with the options being egg timer models and sensor/auto turn off model.
          So they are made for a price point now and is why most major brands have stop making them or bringing them to Australia and just leave it to cheaper brands with the only kind of major brands being Fisher Paykel (Haier) or Electrolux.
          Vented dryers are often not worth repairing, the common faults with a vented are often just wear and tear like the plastics hinges and doors locks breaking. But because it's usually a few years down the track and they cost around $400 on average, if it isn't a simple fix it is not worth a $160 call out fee plus repair costs.
          So with a vented dryer I wouldn't say you can buy better quality but with a Heat Pump dryer there are better brands for quality, performance and potential features people may want to pay for.

      • How about the condenser heat pump washer and dryer combo. Haier got one and I am thinking about it.

        • When you say combo you are talking about 2 machines but as 1 unit. I wonder if there is a 1 machine version that can do both wash and heat pump dry.

          • @nwa: These do exist, the machines are just a bit taller or just super large in order to fit the Heat Pump system.
            AEG have the ( LWX9A9613C ) which is a 9kg / 5kg.
            Samsung Bespoke ( WD18DB8995BZ ) which is 18.5kg / 10kg.
            A good example of time frame of wash and dry taking forever is this Samsung, massive machine but a "Super Speed" wash and dry is 98 minutes based on a 3kg load…

        • If you are talking about the Washing Machine and Dryer in 1 machine which Haier call "Combi Front Loader Washer Dryer".
          You just need to understand that when the 2 are together in 1 machine, the dryer capacity is reduced and it will take a very long time to wash and dry 1 load.
          They also use a condenser drying system not Heat Pump, so they do use more power and it is also worth noting that the condenser needs to be cooled down so it will use a lot of water during the DRYING cycle.
          Haier also seem to intentionally mislead consumers with the WELS (Energy/Water) ratings….
          For example ( HWD1050AN1 ) Haier 10kg Washer / 5kg Dryer will use 86L of water on ECO but then they rate the Water consumption on the dry cycle as only using 12L which is unusually low, but when you read the fine print the cycle they have rated this on has the Dry function is turned off….because the reality is it will use much more and they are not being open about it…
          https://asset.productmarketingcloud.com/api/assetstorage/288…
          This is a great example of how certain brands are bending the rules which European brands can't as they are held to a much higher standard and have stricter regulations.
          Other brands will show this data, L.G ( WVC5-1410W ) 10kg / 6kg is 86L on ECO wash and uses 63L of water during the drying cycle, Bosch 10kg / 5kg is 86L on ECO wash and 43L when drying.

          Overall, it would only be recommended to have a combo machine if you are stuck for space, won't use the dryer much or only really need to do a single wash and dry cycle knowing it can take 3-4+ hours to complete.

      Not a dumb question at all. What's dumb is that most people don't make the connection, that fluff from the lint catcher=damage from your clothes

      The answer is half-half. They use lower heat, which causes less damage, but their cycle times are longer, which means more abrasion from the tumbling action.

  • I bought one of these second hand and its fairly noisy, and the drum itself spins but only after a fair amount of effort, unlike the washing machine that spins freely by hand. Can anyone with this model confirm if their drum spins freely or with resistance when pushed by hand? TIA

    Should mention it does a great job on the clothes regardless.

    • Drum doesn't spin freely when turned off. Haven't noticed it being particularly noisy. Quite like it we use it constantly.

        Appreciate you taking the time to respond. Thanks for the sanity check.

    I think it's worth commenting about Haie'rs customer service. In my one and only interaction. it was fantastic. I had a seal on a front loader develop a small split leading to a minor leak. (was about 6 months old, so under warranty).

    One phone call, and I had a service repair tech fix it 8 days later. Turned up on time and sorted quickly. The whole process was so easy that I will definitely buy another Haier product if and when I need to replace anything.

    And, no I don't have any affiliation with Haier or F&P.

  • Is appliance warehouse a paticipating store with the visa deal? Can't seem to find their store on their list.

    • +1

      Nope. They are not in the store list hence price matched with Jbhifi to get the Visa card.

      • ah didnt see that my fault!

    Weird. Malwarebytes has the website marked as 'riskware'

  • In my limited research, it seems like the Esatto 8kg Heat Pump is Ozbargains favourite dryer. Unfortunately it's not available in NSW till mid to late June. Given that it's a fair bit cheaper than this or the Bosch one mentioned, are the Haier or Bosch significantly better?

    • +1

      had essatto HP dryer for about 5 years - probably done over 1000 loads so far and still working without any issues. Just clean all 3 spots where lint can build up at least weekly and there is no reason why this can’t last up to 10 years.

      • My esatto heat pump just shatted it self after 6 years . Bought it in march 2019 for $550 πŸ˜…

  • I have this same machine. No major issues with it, but after a year it started making an annoying squeaking noise in the first 10 minutes of use. However, once it starts to heat up it goes away.

  • I am in need of a heat pump dryer, couple Q's
    What is the best value for money available now?
    Can you put these in a garage/shed? I don't have the space in my tiny laundry?

    • You can put a heat pump dryer in any location where you have power available. They have an inbuilt container to store the excess water and you may have to drain it after every use.
