    Overview

    This 8kg heat pump dryer from Fisher and Paykel is designed to make laundry chores less of a hassle, while also minimising your environmental impact. Hot and muggy air is not emitted by this dryer, as it reuses heated air to achieve exceptional efficiency. With auto-sensing capabilities and 13 drying programs, including specialised cycles for bulky items, delicates, and sports garments, you can provide the best care for every kind of load. The machine features a large dial and LED display panel for easy adjustment and it also boasts a 7-star energy rating, making this dryer an environmentally-friendly and budget-friendly option.
    Air Dry cycle

    If heat drying is not suitable for specific garments, you can activate the Air Dry cycle which tumble dries your clothes without heat. You can also use this nifty function to gently refresh clothes.

    Drum light

    This dryer features an internal drum light which conveniently switches on when the door is open to provide improved visibility.

    Auto-sensing technology

    To ensure your garments are given the best care, this dryer uses auto-sensing technology to detect moisture levels in your load. This automatically ends the cycle when the ideal dryness level is reached.

    A cycle to freshen up clothes

    For clothes that have been sitting in your wardrobe for a long time, you can refresh them with the Freshen cycle. This uses short bursts of heat followed by cool air to help stale clothes feel like new

    Worth the money
    If you can afford to upgrade from a vented dryer to a heat pump one you need to go for it. Mine's in a cupboard (European laundry) type of set up and no warm humid air issues at all. Put the water hose into the laundry sink so don't have to bother emptying water tank. Love emptying the lint filter to see how much/what colour I got for that load- I actually enjoy the whole washing/drying clothes process now. Works so quickly with great options like wrinkle free if you forget to take out straight away, or damp dry so you can get things started in the dryer and get the music alarm when its somewhat dried and take it out to hang up (especially great for clothes airers inside when the weather's bad). Clothes come out so soft....my first load the clothes came out in a better condition than when they went in (before I'd washed them).

    All the bells and whistles.
    I am loving my new dryer and the many settings and features it has. My previous Fisher & Paykel dryer was also a sensory dryer and worked exceptionally well. I am very pleased to say that this new one is also doing a fabulous job. I love that I can adjust the built in settings to change drying temperature and level of dryness. That way I can customise my drying and get results just as I want. The dryer is very quiet when running and I love the interior light for helping me see any left behind items. The filter does an excellent job and is very easy to clean. I highly recommend this dryer and think that the energy efficiency is well worth the initial cost.

    Questions & answers

    How often should I emty the water tank. I've used it on everyday mode and the tank at the end was still empty. Is this normal? Salma · 2023-06-15
    Good Evening, Thank you for this product question, this model comes with a drain hose, and possible that this model has been plumbed into your drainage, therefore, bypassing the water container, please check the user manual for how to use and care for your machine, you are able to download the manual directly from our website to view. We hope this information is helpful to you. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at 1300-000-500. Colin Jones, Appliances Online
    Hi, Can this dryer be wall mounted? Davidrrh · 2020-06-23
    Hello, Thanks for your question. This dryer cannot be wall-mounted. Generally, only vented dryers can be mounted as heat pump dryers are much heavier. However, this model can be installed stacked with a compatible washing machine using a compatible stacking kit. I hope this information helps! Jesue, Appliances Online
    Hi Do i need a stacking kit and a mat? Bronwyn · 2020-06-11
    Hi there, thanks for your question. If you intend on stacking your laundry appliances, then a stacking kit is absolutely necessary. This dryer is compatible with the Electrolux 428122 stacking kit and a compatible front load washer. Josh, Appliances Online
    Can this dryer be stack on top of 7.5kg Fisher and Paykel front loaded washing machine, Thanks Janx · 2020-05-31
    Good Evening, Thank you for this question Yes you are able to stack this please check the depth of both machines that the dryer has the room to be placed on top. I hope this information will assist you when shopping here with us at Appliances online. Colin Jones, Appliances Online
