Euromaid DE6KG

My Clothes Smell Horrendous – My mum purchased this dryer for me 2 months ago. My clothes come out smelling like cat urine every time??? The dryer screeches and squeals and there is lint everywhere even though I empty the filter after each load. I really would like a refund if possible??? It was purchased from Harvey Norman in Kingston Tasmania.  Show details

Do not purchaser this dryer – Purchased this dryer back in 2020. It worked for about a month before it completely stopped working and wouldn't turn on. It took about 3 months or the company to try to repair it and another 2 months for them to replace it. About 5 months after unboxing the brand new replacement dryer, it stopped heating and would only blow cold air. The company… Read more

has been completely useless in rectifying this and I believe, due to no response, it is now out of warranty. Thanks for absolutely nothing Euromaid and Harvey Norman.

Dryer – I usually dry everyday items such as t-shirts, pants, dresses and work wear, also towels and linen, I'm really satisfied with performance of this dryer it handles excellent and meets my needs Show details ·  1

Amazing dryer! – I have owned this dryer for about 4 years now and it never fails to dry my clothes thoroughly. I was hesitant at first to purchase it thinking because it was cheap that it would not last. Thankfully this proved not to be true. The dryer is simple to use with a number of drying options. I use the dryer 3 - 4 times a week and it is still going… Read more ·  1

If you are in the market for a great dryer at a reasonable price then don’t look past the Euromaid!

Great economical dyer – We purchased this as a second dryer for the winter months when clothes take a bit longer to dry. We use it sparingly but it works great and is so cheap to purchase. The price was the main reason we purchased it, but it just works. Doesnt have all the features that you might get from more expensive ones, but if you want to dry clothes it does what it should.  Show details ·  1

Not great product or communication with company – I only have had this dryer for only a year . It’s trip my power so I haven’t used it for about 2 months now . I agree with some of you it takes for ever to dry as well it’s not here good product . I have rang the company more then once gets cut off everytime. I have emailed them no reply called a service number and they don’t service my area . Shocking communication with this company

Horrible dryer – This is the worst dryer I have ever owned. Bought it about 5 months ago. It does not dry the cloths. When I put a small load in of about 10-15 items it takes 2-2.5 to dry. Its ridiculous. Its only 2 star so It costs us $200 more a quarter in electricity to dry my families cloths during winter season. Do not buy it! Show details

Do not buy this appliance! – Do not buy this appliance! Purchased this a few months ago and is just dreadful. Machine is so noisy you have to close the laundry room door or it echoes through the whole house. Takes about 2 hours to dry a small load. Called Euromaid to complain, customer service team member was rude, quoted policy and procedure to me non stop and went round… Read more

in circles telling me my complaint about the awful workings of the product and it not being fit for purpose were my opinion only and would be classed as a "change of mind" which they do not do, hence now stuck with a dryer in the garage that I do not use, can not return and have had to purchase a new one (Not Euromaid). Have had Euromaid products in the past but will never purchase again.

Bad experience – Horrible dryer had a electrician come out and "fix" It several times jobs never done correctly trying to seek refund as the company and electricians are hopeless. Please contact me asap Show details

Dangerous horrible dryer – I purchased my dryer through mitre 10 it was maybe three months old when I could smell a very strong smokey plastic smell from my dryer and it stopped working I contacted them after waiting nearly a month to have it repaired I find out the wires are burnt out on the inside it had had a small fire on the inside after about 15 phone calls and… Read more

another month I finally get sent a replacement dryer now 4 months later another problem not as bad as the first time but has to be repaired after 7 phone calls and them trying to ignore me I finally get someone out who is coming back in 2 days to repair it stop refusing my refund and give me my money back before I take my complaint to consumer affairs I dont want your faulty crap dryer anymore its dangerous avoid these dryers at all costs you will regret it believe me I must state I have been dealing direct with euromaid not mitre 10

Not bad, got us through Melbourne winter – This is a cheap and basic clothes dryer but it did the job and got us through a freezing Melbourne winter no problems at all. It's built quite light (easy to pick up). What I like about it is the capacity - its rated at 6kg so that means it can take a whole load straight out of the washer. Not the most luxurious but does the job fine.  Show details

Basic dryer does the job – Basic no frill dryer that does the job. No condensers, fuzzy logic or control screen. Just a drum that spins and blows heated air. That's all you need and it works fine. We don't really use the dryer much due to expense, more to finish clothes off after hanging. It works fine but is very basic  Show details

Faulty unit x 2 – Purchased the euromaid 6kg dryer. Initially worked well, then started catching clothes. It tore several items and left black marks on others. Also made large banging noise. Contacted Euromaid as it was 6 months old- it took 6 weeks to have it replaced. Noted that the drum had come out of the groove and was not fixable. Replacement dryer was… Read more

delivered- plugged in and turned on and began to bang with every spin- apparently drum not screwed in properly. Euromaid was contacted 2 hours after delivery of the replacement unit. It took over a month to get our money back!

We had a 4 month old baby at the time and live in a cold area and were without a working dryer for over 3 months- not to mention the expensive cloth nappies and baby clothes the first machine destroyed. Fair to say we didn’t buy another euromaid.

Very loud & broken after 2 years – This dryer is incredibly loud. After 2.5 years it is giving out an awfully loud metal scraping sound when it spins clockwise. The plastic on the door must be quite poor quality as it snapped off not long after we bought it, & we’ve been putting it back on ever since.  Show details

Meets My Needs – Happy with this dryer. It was cheap and it works well. It has a decent sized capacity (6kg) and I can dump the washing straight from the machine into the dryer. Its just a basic model with timer settings and heat settings but it gets the job done and that's all that counts. It may not last forever - construction is a little cheap looking but it works fine  Show details ·  1

Great, and cheap too – I bought the cheapest one i could find in the 6kg category and wasn't disappointed. Think i paid around $340 from appliances online. That price included delivery too. Can not fault the thing. Sometimes the cheapest products are no worse than the dearer ones. By the time i would have paid for the old one to be fixed, it would't work out to be much more buying this new one.  Show details ·  1

Boat Anchor Potential – Moved into a brand new apartment with this model Dryer already installed in the laundry. Washed my sheets, placed them in the dryer as per instructions in the Manual (dehydrated and only half to three quarters of the window). Removed the plastic from the cord, plugged it in and turned it on. It lasted all of about five seconds and less than a… Read more

quarter turn before the drum stopped and the machine made grinding noises and started to emit a burning electrical smell. It has since been turned off, unplugged and will NEVER be used again!! I will NOT be paying for transportation to a service agent - again, as per Warranty in manual. The number for Warranty enquiries just rings out. Already looking for a replacement - not this brand.

Very Happy With This Model – I particularly needed a front vented dryer so this, although dearer , was a good choice for me. I am very satisfied with its performance and appreciate the old style strong metal build with these models. It reminds me of how appliances used to be in the 70's and 80's. The front venting works very well and when it's running we get no dust or… Read more ·  1

condensation inside which is very important if you suffer from asthma.

We have not required any services so far and apart from cleaning the lint filter which is a bit tricky, this has worked flawlessly. If you are looking for a dryer this is a good choice.

Squeaking belts during operation – The machine was purchased from Joyce Mayne just three weeks ago and has been used just three times. While the actual operation seems fine and efficient there is a persistent belt squeak during one particular rotation cycle. Sounds like a belt is out of alignment. The machine is used only when inclement weather. It is shelf mounted with good ventilation.  Show details ·  1

Delivered and plugged in. Faulty – Couldn't wait to get my new DE6KG... it had been in my house for 12 mins, and in operation for 5 minutes, then it stopped turning and started making a ridiculously loud and violent buzzing vibration. Called the Home Appliances number and the young man I spoke to told me it could be days before a service technician would attend. This is a BRAND NEW… Read more

unit and I'm so disappointed that these things are not quality tested before being delivered. Won't be buying a Euromaid again, nor will I be singing their praises.

Truly terrible and unusable/dangerous after less than 2 years – I hated this dryer from the day we brought it home. Even when you empty the lint filter every load, it still makes an enormous mess, blowing lint all over laundry. The lint filter is fiddly to remove and replace, and the air vent needs cleaning every couple of loads too, which is very difficult to remove. After 6 months, became unbelievably noisy.… Read more

Less that 2 years after purchase it made horrible noise and began spraying lots of little bits of plastic out of filter. When we moved it to see if it was fixable we found lots of metal filings and ball bearings sitting underneath it. Now I'm just glad it didn't start a fire. Not attempting to repair, will just buy a different brand.

Queit – Loe the quiet operation and the choice of settings. I have mine in the garage, as the old one was so noisy, but no problem with this one. I dries well. Of course, large items like sheets are a problem due to their bulk, but everything else is very good.  Show details ·  1

Very efficient, great price, a bit loud – I purchased my euromaid DE6KG dryer from appliances online after many hours of research. They delivered and Installed it with no dramas - great service. Can be wall mounted but I have mine on a nonslip mat on top of my 8kg front load washer. Very stable. Have noticed it's a bit noisy while running but it's not so loud that it's a problem for us.… Read more ·  1

Have also noticed the lint filter goes in on an angle - must be so it won't fall out if you wall mount with controls at the bottom. Spins both ways if you select crease control which I think makes it dry quicker also.

I'm quite happy with the overall performance

Euro aide DE6kg – I purchased this dryer but now the drum has fallen apart and I can't use it I only purchased it 6 months and so disappointed due to the location I live in it is necessary to have a dryer during winter to survive. I have always purchased euro products as they have been good quality but not happy with this one. Now I have to purchase another new dryer in less than 6 months.  Show details

Love it – This is a great little dryer. I had never owned a dryer before and did a lot of research before choosing one within my budget. This has done a great job with no problems. I had read that the lint filter can be hard to remove and put back but I find it very easy to use and clean. First electricity bill since using it showed no real increase in consumption which was a surprise.  Show details ·  3

A bit loud, but very efficient & powerful – This dryer is massive, with a 6kg capacity that's capable of handling a full load of washing from our machine. It's a little on the noisy side, but it makes up for that by being able to dry things thoroughly & quickly due to its high temperatures, although this is variable if you're drying delicate items. The soft-touch buttons & lack of a dial… Read more ·  1

are a pleasure to operate, & it's very communicative, beeping when it's finished to let you know your washing is dry. The only problem is, if you open the door & walk away, it will remind you it's still on by beeping, which can be a little annoying initially until you're used to it. It has variable heat & cycle times, a setting for permanent press items, & changes the direction in which it rotates periodically, to agitate & reorganise items to ensure they dry evenly. The lint filter is different, & is located just inside the door, making it easy to access which is good because it must be emptied every load as it gets full pretty rapidly. Overall, I'm pretty impressed with this appliance, & find it very good at performing its job when I need it to.

Dries clothes reasonably well, but very noisy & started to malfunction after 4 months – I read numerous reviews when I was looking to purchase & ended up settling on the Euromaid DE6KG for our needs and budget at the time. Other reviews commented on the noise, so we were expecting that although it actually was noisier than I imagined - we need to keep the laundry door closed and turn up the TV! When it was working, the dryer did a… Read more

good job of drying our clothes - no shrinkage or other problems with thanks to being able to adjust the temperature. Drying time was LONG - no real 'quick' setting.

Unfortunately, after about four months the dryer started making even louder and stranger sounds and grinding noises - something was definitely not right. We contacted the service department and they sent someone out to look at it. They said they would need to order a part in. We didn't hear anything again for about two weeks so my husband rang them - they got back to him to say that they have ordered the part. We heard again from them about a week later to say that the part is on its way but it won't be repaired until mid-July. So we are looking at about 6 weeks from reporting to repair.

Disappointed with our purchase & wouldn't recommend this one.

Does its job, but far from optimal – It dries our clothes well, but that's where the good things end. For some reason, the lint builds up really rapidly. I try to empty the filter before each use but it seems to be always overflowing. Furthermore, I always come back to puddles of condensation all over our laundry. Fortunately we don't use our dryer much since we have a proper… Read more

outdoor clothesline, but I definitely regret not spending a bit more money to get a more reliable machine.

Not switching off – Not switching off have to do it manually. Dryer was on for 2 hrs and towels were dry. Is this normal or should it turn it self off after a certain time. We only purchased this today. Abit concerning if it doesn't turn itself off meaning could cause a fire.  Show details

Don't buy - was so disappointed !! – We purchased this dryer it broke and started making REALLY loud noises and never really worked properly from the start I'm really disappointed. The filter system is the worst design I have ever seen and I wish i did not fall for the sales crap! It does dry things, however it sounds like a Jumbo jet taking off - wish I had taken it back immediately. However with new baby and two other kids it all seemed so hard - one piece of advice DON'T BUY!!  Show details

Disaster Purchase - so noisy and constant lint mess – I have had this machine since August 2015 - we had to wall mount it due to space restrictions. It is so noisy my neighbours can even hear it. I have ensured it is completely level and tried putting rubber behind the spacers to buffer the vibration noise - it does not help. We also clean the lint cleaner every time but it still blows a ridiculous… Read more

amount of lint into the laundry which I regularly have to vacuum off the walls.

The noise and the lint are the worst I have experienced. Our last dryer was an electrolux and it stopped heating after 12 months!

Need another brand recommendation as we don't seem to be having any luck. We won't be using Euromaid/ Electrolux again.

October 27th 2017 Update: So Disappointing! Do Not Buy Disaster Purchase!!

Bought August 2015

Horrible noisy machine with ridiculous production of lint that gets blown out into laundry (need to vacuum walls constantly).

Does not operate well wall mounted even if installed by professionals even if soundproofing rubber placed under wall mount stoppers! Complained in January this year on this site and never got a response from Euromaid customer service.

Sound was so loud literally sounded like an aeroplane taking off.

Eventually since early Oct this year it has also developed a loud squeal - I had to stop using it as believed it was a fire risk!

Just bought new Fisher Parkel 6kg Wall mounted dryer - such a breath of fresh air to have an appliance that actually does the job seamlessly as it is supposed to do.

Guy who installed new dryer said ‘old’ Euromaid dryer was fit for nothing more than the dump - he agreed it sounded terrible!

This machine obviously has problems as there are many similar complaints on this site.

WAS GIVEN FALSE INFORMATION ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASSION – Hi there We bought this 6kg Euro unit from SA Appliances in Adelaide, South Australia a little under two years ago. When we bought the unit the sales guy went through his pitch and advised that we could set it up as a rear vent. The floor model and the catalogue all said rear vent. This was important as we only had the option for a rear vent… Read more

unit.

When we got the unit back and discovered that it was actually a front vent only, we immediately called SA Appliances. SA Appliances first said they would never have said that and then the second time we rang, they directed us back to the manufacturer.

You're response to us, was that the unit was never a rear vent and to go back to the reseller, which we again did. The reseller then admitted that the manufacture, being you, had made an error on the catalogue.

So we called you guys back and you denied the fact again.

In the end we have had to use the unit and it blows dust and fluff from the front into the closed room. My wife tolerated this for around eight months before we eventually bought another new unit. We still have the Euro unit and all reciepts and paperwork.

However, TODAY, after reading this review site, I see that you have admitted to the error in you're brochure as was first suggested.

Please provide me with a contact point to discuss this matter in the first instance.

Thank you

Makes my clothes smell terrible – We purchased this dryer a couple of days ago and I'm really disappointed. Every load comes out dry but smells horrendous. Especially the towels. My son thought the cat had messed in the bathroom, the smell is so bad. I use good washing powder and put extra softener in to try and reduce the smell but still horrible.  Show details

Basic Dryer – I have a small space in my laundry so my choice of dryer was limited to what would fit. I had to mount it upside down, which is fine by me. Euromaid provide a large sticker to place over the control panel which will make it readable when it's upside down. It's a thick sticker with buttons built into it and little clear holes in it so that you can… Read more

see the indication lights through it. Very handy. The only trouble is, it's extremely sticky and you only get ONE shot at applying it and it would take an above average skill to apply it perfectly into place in one go. And I didn't manage. I put it on just a little crooked and somehow I managed to get air trapped behind it. It looked pretty bad so I tried to ease it back off and it just started to peel really badly and it just got worse and worse as I dug myself into a hole. So, I decided to just rip the sticker off and chuck it and order a new sticker. The sticker has a part number and everything. Long story short, $80 for the sticker plus $20 postage. $100, for a sticker. That's what, like, a fifth of the price of the whole entire appliance? So, I have no sticker and my control panel info is all permanently upside down.

So that's my warning. If you buy one of these dryers please be aware that if you want to mount it upside down and you want your control panel to be the right way up you will only get one shot at putting that sticker on so do it very carefully and patiently.

Other than that the dryer is OK.
