    A Great Dryer For the Price
    I'm very happy with this dryer after week of use. The clothes come out dry and it's very easy to use. Just pop the clothes in and press power button and start, it works out how long it takes to dry them and they always come out perfectly dry. My one quibble is that there is no 'time remaining' display so you have no idea how much time it will take to finish, hence 4 stars instead of 5. Other than that it's just about perfect. I like the 3 star energy rating vs the 1 star my previous dryer scored.

    Awkward controls
    The machine seems to be made to hang up but when set on the ground the switches are right down near the floor and awkward to reach. It does have a sticker to reverse the switch if set upside down but then the cooling pipe points down. The settings that are available are very limited to just a handful of presets which doesn’t allow for much flexibility of use. It drys stuff though reasonably quietly which it’s supposed to do.

    Questions & answers

    Can this dryer sit on top of washing machine Tally · 2024-07-12
    Hi Tally, it can. But just be sure the placement can accommodate a rear-venting dryer that will likely need ducting. Kind regards, Adam from Appliances Online. AdamD, Appliances Online
    can this dryer door be reversed? Do you have any 4-6 kg dryers with right side hinging capacities? tori · 2024-03-10
    Hi Tori, while the door on this dryer can't be reversed per se, the dryer can actually be placed upside down and is supplied with 'Extra control panel print (for upside down use)' - essentially turning it into a right-opening dryer =) Kind regards, Adam from Appliances Online. AdamD, Appliances Online
    Would you know how much clearance I would need from the wall to fit the exhaust vent? Dimensions not in manual. Muzza · 2023-09-26
