Best Heat Pump Clothes Dryers

Nice to use not really noise and very easy on the clothes the manual is easy to follow so its very useful to have.

We really love our new kitchen and Laundry! Jeremiah and Stuart did an amazing Job, they always checking us if theres any other issues and solve it straight away. We would highly recommend them. Show details

Well priced gem – I've been using the Beko heat pump dryer for a few months now, and overall, I'm quite pleased with it. I specifically sought out this model because… Read more

of its energy efficiency, which is close to that of a Miele—139 kWh per year for the Beko vs. 100 kWh for the Miele. I live in an apartment in Queensland and opted for a heat pump dryer to minimise the extra energy use by my air conditioner during summer. Unlike a conventional dryer, the heat pump model doesn’t add humidity to the air, which is crucial for keeping the apartment cooler and reducing the strain on the air conditioner.

Before purchasing, I read a few reviews where people mentioned that clothes sometimes come out damp. To those reviewers, I would suggest reading the instruction manual. Yes, by default, clothes might have a slight damp feel, but it’s a simple fix—just adjust the setting up one level, and they’ll come out as dry as you’d expect.

The dryer is generally quiet, though the little fan near the condenser can occasionally make more noise than usual. I live in a soundproof apartment, so I notice even small amounts of noise, but compared to a conventional dryer, it’s still very quiet.

One feature I particularly appreciate is the dryer’s ability to stop when it detects that the desired dryness level has been reached. This not only prevents over-drying but also adds to the energy efficiency, which is a big plus in my book.

Quiet and extremely energy saving and efficient dryer. Pros Dial control (unfortunately not backlit) Clothes and towels come out soft and uncreased… Read more

Would never go back to front loader – The machine has great finsctions and is user friendly. Ample room for big sheets and compact in my small laundry. Show details

Just a great dryer to use – The dryer was so easy to use and the cleaning process just as easy. I drys the cloths very and I hardly ever need ironing. The dry is very quite in operation and does not disturb us

It dries clothes gently and efficiently without overheating them, and I love how quiet it runs. The energy efficiency is a big plus too perfect for daily use. Overall, a solid and reliable dryer that does exactly what it promises! Very nice

Great dryer, does dry clothes quicker then I thought. Love how Its noiseless too. Show details

this product is very useful for us and quilty is too good Show details

I just picked one up today as it was getting scrapped by our local electronics store it's ready to work as mum does the dogs bed in as well I also have a heat pump dryer as back up

I do not even want to give it 1 star, this is the worst dryer I have ever used. I should have kept my 20+ year old dryer it worked a hell of a lot… Read more

better than this piece... Empty the lint filter every single load and it often it just stops halfway through to want to empty again!! Even though i emptied prior to the load beginning!! And its not even full !!! It is driving me bonkers. I cant get through the washing anymore as its always a stop starts, its been an absolute mess around. I am going insane !!!!! It doesn't even dry well either !!! Worst money ive ever spent. And we bought the hisense combo one before this to have it break in less than 4 months. I am utterly disappointed !!!!! DO NOT RECOMMEND EVER

Not strong enough it also consumes electricity power but easy to operate Show details

Quiet and efficient operation and build quality seems good. Although it has a duvet option it just doesn't work for a king bed duvet. It can't… Read more

handle the large amount of water in a washed king bed duvet. Plus what idiot designs a dryer that only rotates in one direction only. The towels and sheets just roll into a tight bundle and don't dry inside the middle of the bundle.

I purchased an AEG T8DHE842B heat-pump dryer in May 2018. At the time it retailed for around $1,800 and was positioned as a premium appliance, so I… Read more

expected durability and strong after-sales support.

In July 2021, the dryer suffered a drum/motor failure and was repaired under warranty. In September 2025, the same fault recurred — the dryer powers on, but the drum no longer spins, making the unit unusable.

I contacted AEG to request a repair under Australian Consumer Law, given the recurrence of a fault affecting a core function. The handling of this was disappointing: - Long wait times and inconsistent communication - Being told the issue needed “escalation”, followed by no meaningful callback - Ultimately being offered only a paid out-of-warranty service, on the basis that the manufacturer’s warranty had expired and the unit had already been repaired once

AEG refused to repair the dryer at their cost or offer any meaningful remedy. I escalated the matter externally, but was ultimately left with no resolution.

What’s most frustrating is not just the failure itself, but the lack of accountability for a recurring defect in a premium appliance. A dryer at this price point should reasonably last longer than seven years without repeated motor/drum failures, and I would not have purchased it had I known this would be the outcome.

Based on my experience, I would not recommend AEG if you value long-term reliability.

Really amazing machine can handle my sheets and doonas perfectly, had this one replacing my old 19 year old asko and love it Show details

My experience with the Asko heat pump dryer has not been good. I’ve had it for a couple of years now and the entire time the pump has been an issue.… Read more

Asko have fixed it but never replaced the pump and it continues to be an issue now that the dryer is out of warranty. The machine stops multiple times through a drying cycle requiring the water container to be emptied but there’s actually no water in the container. This makes using the dryer very difficult as you consistently have to check that it’s still running during what should be a normal cycle I would not recommend buying one of these dryers.

Purchased around 2 years ago from Domayne. As others have mentioned, clothes are never fully dry. The top lint filter is OK, but the one on the… Read more

bottom is a nightmare. It lets lint through to the condenser fins? which are near impossible to clean. It also gets condensation in there and can leak a small amount of water on to the floor. It is prone to mould from being damp. I have had to soak the filter in bleach a few times to kill off some mould spores. I contacted their customer support and was told to follow the instructions, where i then pointed out to them that their video instruction (see screenshot) indicates that there is an additional foam filter to protect the condenser, which I never received. Ariston replied back with a parts catalogue, and no surprises that the filter doesn't exist in the catalogue. I replied and they never answered back.

Purchased a Bosch Series 8 heat pump tumble dryer, after doing a lot of research. One of the main reasons we picked this brand and model was due to… Read more

it's reverse cycle ability during drying bed sheets etc, which means it is supposed tumble for a while in one direction, then reverse and tumble in the opposite direction. This stops the sheets etc from ending up in a small ball if continuous in one direction only. Well... what a stupid waste of computer programming. On that cycle, it rotates about 20 times in one direction, then about half a drum turn in the opposite direction only. This means every time we try to dry bed sheets, they ALWAYS end up in a ball, not dried. Contacted Bosch (within the first few weeks of buying the machine). They didn't know what we were talking about. They said they would get someone from Bosch to ring. That was more than a month ago. Have given up trying to get a response or service call. Don't waste your time and money on this machine. After sales service is crap

Bought this dryer in August 2023 & has to throw this away now. Please see below recommendation by the Fisher & Paykel technician who came to inspect… Read more

washing liquid and the clothes come out with residue on them. And also for towels if you do a very small amount of washing liquid and you air dry the towels they come out hard and stiff. I believe this is because I'm either using the wrong cycle or the lack of extra rinse cycle . I would love some advice on how to rectify this . And another thing if you wash 1 or 2 bath mats they don't spin out properly and come out with alot of water still in them.

This is a total buyer beware job. Had a 2 year warranty and at just under two years the heat pump and rotor started to fail. Using the thing was… Read more

louder than a plane taking off. Using the manufacturers warranty, it took them 2 months to repair the thing. It’s not a later and the exact same issue has cropped up again. Do not buy this dryer if you want something that lasts.

opening has a st^pid white cone that is too small (size of a rice). Cut that off and the water will drain normally. Fluff and lint gets caught in it.

Dryer just doesn't dry – Waste of money - just get a conventional dryer. This dryer doesn't dry clothes.. after 2-3 hours they can still come out damp requiring to go on… Read more

again... have tried extra dry, long time programs and can have better results hanging washing out in the rain. We bought this thinking we'd do the energy efficient thing and have preservered for months trying to give it a chance. Should have sent it back after we got it... can't wait for it to die and we can go back to a standard convection dryer that actually dries clothes.

I wish I liked it more – We bought this heat pump dryer to prevent moisture running down our laundry walls, after our old dryer seized. Living in Brisbane means often towels… Read more

don’t dry, due to humidity. So far it works, but often the clothes are still damp to the touch, or else the dryer works for hours and I have to manually stop it because things are very dry. Maybe I need to understand the settings better, but I prefer an older style spin of the knob and walk away type machine. Also I don’t like the black outer ring and would have preferred silver, but all options had black instead of silver.

My first Hisense Heat Pump Dryer Series 5 HDFS80H, which I originally left a 5-star review for here, suffered a compressor failure in less than 2… Read more

years. I replaced it with another Hisense Heat Pump Dryer Series 3 HDFS80HS only because I wanted my laundry appliances to continue matching visually.

The dryer looks more or less similar externally, but the quality difference is immediately noticeable. The build quality is nowhere near the old Series 5 model, which was no longer available for purchase at The Good Guys. Even small things feel cheaper the end-of-cycle chime sounds different, the door is much harder to open, and the control panel and plastics feel like lower-grade material with a duller finish.

In under 12 months, the replacement unit developed an intermittent squeaking/grinding noise during operation. To make matters worse, the customer service experience has been appalling. Instead of helping, they make you feel discouraged from pursuing the issue further whenever they reply with “no fault observed”. I spent around 5 hours going back and forth over emails with Hisense last Thursday, only to contact The Good Guys Concierge and be redirected straight back to Hisense again.

At this point, I seriously question the reliability of these dryers, especially in Australia’s humid subtropical climate (Queensland). If the product cannot reliably handle normal environmental conditions long-term, it should not be marketed as a durable heat pump dryer for Australian homes.

Very disappointing experience overall, especially considering this was already a replacement unit after a major failure.

Do not buy this dryer. Worse purchase ever. I feel like I work for the dryer as it beeps every 10 minutes to clean out lint filter. It takes hours… Read more

to dry sheets which end up in a ball. I have to constantly be monitoring the dryer and spend so much time been frustrated with an expensive machine that does not do the job. Stick to the older style models where you clothes come out hot and dry.

Worst dryer I have ever owned. The matching washing machine died after 6 months and the dryer has had a tech out once before and now is not drying… Read more

again. Time to change to a new dryer as I cannot be bothered wasting any more time in this piece of junk. Advise to avoid beko at all cost.

occasion they don’t tangle they end up in a complete ball inside the fitted sheets completely wet and the dryer has finished.

Dries clothes somewhat well but takes 3.5 hours to do so

It can dry towels!

I got rid of an old but working Simpson drier and I regret the decision every time I use it. It was noisy and used a lot of power but it got the job done fast and well. Even now a replacement is only $375 not $1200 and I’m seriously thinking of changing it over.

Shame on you Bosch, your customer service when I called to complain was also rubbish. “Just fold the sheets 3 times before you put them in then they won’t tangle”. Didn’t work and there is. O resolution no matter how many times I called

Terrible – Very rarely does it dry anything. Goes on for hours and clothing is still damp. Extremely disappointed in this near useless drier. Both filters are… Read more

towels to take about 3.5 hours to dry. Ok, admittedly that's the trade-off for a very efficient heat-pump dryer, but the noise is unbearable. We purchased the dryer in 2022 and initially it was a bit loud, but tolerable. We adapted to the slow-drying cycle and regularly cleaned the filters as instructed. But now it rattles and cranks along like an old tractor. Given our experience with the call to Asko's service on the washing machine, we've decided to do nothing and just tolerate the aural abuse until the darn things wears out. Ok, we should have purchased a good old fashioned Electrolux or Fisher & Paykel tumble dryer without the heat pump, which would have delivered much quicker results, and certainly much quieter. We have a household of eight and have had to ban the dryer being used after 9pm because it's so loud and uncomfortable. It was meant to be a premium product, but our experience suggests otherwise. I don't usually write negative reviews, but in this instance the manufacturer for this appliance has tortured us long enough!
