    Overview

    The Akai 8kg Heat Pump Dryer combines smart functionality, precise laundry care, and intuitive controls to make laundry day simple and stress-free. And with a 7-star energy rating, this efficient dryer also helps cut down on household costs.

    The generous 8kg capacity offers ample room for families and medium-sized households. The wide opening door makes it easy to load and unload your dryer, while the handy internal light ensures no stray sock gets left behind. Use the intuitive control panel to select from 15 programs or pair your appliance with your smart device to monitor your laundry remotely thanks to the smart Wi-Fi function and Akai Home app. Schedule your laundry efficiently using the Delay Start function or the time-controlled drying so your clothes are ready when you need them. There’s also an Anti-Crease function that helps reduce wrinkling so you can save time on the ironing.

    This unit has been designed to match with the Akai 10kg Front Load Washing Machine AK-FL10 to create a sleek and elegant look for your laundry. With a refined and consistent appearance, these appliances exemplify the signature style and quality of the Akai brand. This heat pump dryer from Akai allows you to work smarter, not harder, so you can get your chores done efficiently.
    7 Star energy rating

    A 7 star energy rating ensures your washing is dried eectively and eciently. A 7 star performance also decreases your running costs and reduces your impact on the environment.

    Wi-Fi control

    This heat pump dryer has a smart Wi-Fi function which lets you monitor the progress of your laundry with a click of a button. Through the intuitive Akai Home app, the easy-to-use interface allows you to log in, connect your machine to your mobile device and experience all of its benefits.

    Moisture sensor

    A drying sensor stops the drying operation once your washing is dry — no wasted energy or over-dried clothes.

    Anti-crease

    The anti-crease feature uses intermittent, unheated tumbling for half an hour after the cycle ends to reduce any potential wrinkling.

    Get a better one
    Dried our stuff okay, some cycle/load types would need a bit extra to fully dry. Just outside of warranty it has lost half of its power and needs to be replaced as it just won't dry. Maybe something happened when moving house but you best avoid this one and get a better one.

    All good except for the noise
    This dryer has so many functional modes that make precise operation very easy. My only negative is the noise factor. Even with the laundry door closed you can hear a hollow thumping sound. Recommend using it during the day where possible.

    Questions & answers

    My dryer keeps switching off taking filters are all clean Can’t dry washing properly Chris · 2025-03-24
    Hi Chris, if you purchased the dryer from us, give us a call ASAP on 1300 000 500 and we can log a service request with the manufacturer on your behalf. Kind regards, Adam from Appliances Online. AdamD, Appliances Online
    where are AKAI dryers manufactured, is there a service centre in brisbane. Ravin · 2024-06-06
    Hi Ravin, this model is made in China. Generally, the manufacturer would send out an authorised service technician (laundry appliances are generally pretty difficult to lug back and forth to a service centre). If you phone Akai on 1300 886 649, they'll be able to advise =) Cheers, Adam from Appliances Online. AdamD, Appliances Online
    Can this model be stacked on top of the Samsung A.I Personalised AddWash Front Load Washing Machine WW85T554DAW, with a stacking kit? Or must is sit on the floor? Marcus · 2022-06-07
    Good Afternoon, Thank you for this product question, This model is unable to be stacked on top of your washer due to the depth issue, your washer is 550 deep and the dryer is well over 600mm in depth, with stacking kits these are only designed to work within the same brand no mixing and matching brands, suppliers do not make their products to work with other brands, so with the selection made these will work best-sitting side by side. I hope this information will assist you when shopping here with us at Appliances online. Colin Jones, Appliances Online
    How noisy is this dryer. Claire · 2022-05-17
    Good morning, Thank you for this product question, noise is very hard to list when talking about a dryer, with the tumble action in dryers and what is able to be placed inside will provide different noise levels such as loaded with very few garments will sound louder than the same machine with a full load, garments that have buckles will sound loud than the same garment without buckles so you will find that suppliers will very rarely apply this feature to their machines. You may buy a dryer & think it is quiet whereas I may hear your machine running & think it's loud, so how loud is loud? I hope this information will assist you when shopping here with us at Appliances online. Colin Jones, Appliances Online
