    Overview

    A reliable dryer for small to medium-sized households, the Simpson 5.5kg Vented Dryer is a simple and hassle-free way to make sure your laundry chores don’t pile up.

    The electronic rotary control is easy to use as you navigate through the variety of drying options. From delicates to an extra-dry option, there’s a suitable cycle for different drying needs. If you don’t like to spend too much time doing the ironing, the automatic cool-down function activates at the end of a cycle to reduce creases and wrinkles. There’s also a handy Iron dry cycle that makes it easy to iron your garments after drying.
    Save space

    Thanks to the included wall mounting kit you can save valuable space in your laundry by installing the dryer up onto the wall. Perfect for homes with little laundry space.

    SenseDry technology

    This dryer has three preset options to deliver precise dryness levels. If you’re ironing your load, the Iron Dry setting keeps the garment slightly damp for best results. There’s also a Cupboard Dry option for clothes going straight to the wardrobe, and an Extra Dry option for bulky items like bedding.

    Reverse tumble for even drying

    This dryer reverses the tumble direction to ensure your garments are dried thoroughly and evenly. This also helps to prevent tangling and reduce creases so you spend less time ironing.

    Stainless Steel Drum

    The stainless steel drum has a smooth structure for more gentle drying and its surface is resistant to both rust and stains.

    Wall Mounted Dryer
    Looked everywhere for a wall mounted dryer. My laundry is a bit tight and this dryer fitted my requirements. It’s great, I am happy to recommend it. It’s easy to use and does a great job, both drying and airing. Happy to recommend.

    Not happy.
    I brought my dryer brand new about a month ago. I used it no more than two times and now it has an awful sound to it. I’ve tried everything to fix it (balance it and have it above ground) but it still has an awful noise. It’s a very very loud noise that only happens spinning one way. When it spin the opposite way after so long it sound’s completely fine. I shouldn’t have this problem with a “brand new” dryer. I’ve contacted where I brought it numerous times and the problem still hasn’t been solved.

    Old school dials love them
    I do like the dryer I like the old style dials, only negative is it doesn't turn off when it finishes drying.

    Questions & answers

    There is no information about Sensedry in the manual at all. I put it on Cupboard dry and it just keeps going even when the clothes feel well and truly dry to me. Is this a fault? johno · 2023-04-24
    Good Afternoon, Thank you for this product question, you have managed to come through to an online retail store Not Simpson "Electrolux" Australia Customer Care, in regards to your question in the user manual that you are able to download from our website covers how much load for each cycle, the fabric type, and once the machine detects all the moisture has been removed from all the included garments this will then go into a cool-down period to remove the static and then switch off. The sensor time will vary when you place say thin cottons along with say a thicker cotton garment, the machine will keep going until the thicker garment is dry, best to sort all your clothes before placing them inside and a full load of wet clothes in your dryer is half full any more and you are overloading your dryer. I hope this information will assist you when shopping here with us at Appliances Online. Colin Jones, Appliances Online
    One of the reviews refers to it not having a sensor to detect when the washing is dry and then stop. Is this correct? Jenna · 2021-05-27
    Hi Jenna, Thank you for your question. The unit has Sensedry Technology, please refer to the user manual for further instructions. Kind regards, Appliances Online matilda.carr, Appliances Online
    I live in an apartment and therefore I'm not able to externally vent it. I have an exhaust fan above - will that be ok or must it be externally vented? Thanks Elisa Dickenson · 2020-08-05
    Good Afternoon, Thank you for this question vented dryers will place 100% wet air back into your room please make sure the room is well vented, an exhaust fan will remove some but the amount of returned moisture you will still get moisture on your tiles. The best option if you do not want to wall mount this dryer will be a heat pump condenser dryer with a small amount of dry tempered air being returned this is the best option and excellent on energy consumption. I hope this information will assist you when shopping here with us at Appliances online. Colin Jones, Appliances Online
    Hello, does the dryer have feet or is it flat on the bottom? Harvey · 2020-07-11
    it has not adjustable feet, that will absorb some noice. so, if you don't want to mount it on the wall. It can be placed on a bench-top or on the floor. If you would like to stack on top of a front load washing machine we would recommend a stacking kit or a simple washer/dryer stacking mat. PatrickF, Appliances Online
