Not that good – Does not dry well unless it is lightly loaded. 2 bed sheets are impossible and have to be dried separately. Would not recommend. Show details

Had it near 6 months only and it has started grinding and scraping - simpson SDV457HQWA 4.5kg – Terrible. Worked the first few times. Now grinds and overheats. Purchased direct over the phone from Harvey Norman O’Connor, WA on 01/05/2022 with my Bosch Dishwasher and both delivered next day. Great! Dryer Has been used half a dozen times and started scraping / making metal grinding noise. Less than 6 months old! Don’t buy one! SDV457HQWA. Show details

WAS REALLY HAPPY BUT NOW ANNOYED – Purchased dryer in February 2021. I only use it occasionally and am happy with the simplicity and quick drying. However, over the last few weeks the timer knob keeps falling off and as it lands all over the place I have trouble finding it and then picking it up as I’m disabled. Rang service they can’t help unless I buy another knob but I shouldn’t have to. Won’t buy again. Show details

Trusty Dryer – This dryer I thought was basic when purchasing. But it dries items well & lint is collected well and it’s easy to clean. A little noisy, but does the job well Show details

Simpson dryers all the way – Love my Simpson dryer, so easy to use and get the job done every time. No doubt I will continue to use Simpson, all I know, from my gran, my mother to myself. Will say the same to my daughters. Show details

Great dryer, simple to use. Dries clothes evenly. Looks good as well – We used to have a Simpson Sirocco 350 dryer that lasted 20+ years. We wanted a simple to use dryer, with a larger capacity that will give us a hassle-free life for another decade or 2. The new Simpson SDV457HQWA was the perfect replacement. It is slightly larger with perfect capacity for us (4.5kg). It dries the clothes really well, it is simple… Read more

to use and it looks pretty good. The front door opens 180 degrees which is absolutely great. The lint filter is easy to access and clean. Another great point - it is very quiet. Beautiful.

Efficient dryer in the lower price range – Purchased this item to dry clothes during rainy periods. Use the product for casual clothing including jackets and pants. The product dries efficiently and is quite gentle on the clothes. The controls and easy to use and located at the top of the machine. It is quiet to run and the filter is located inside the door. Not difficult to place on a wall and comes with wall hangers. Would recommend this product. Show details

what a dissapointment – I have always been a fan of the Simpson brand and have had some very long lasting products (washing machine over 15 years old and still going ). This dryer however managed to do a complete and typical failure. A little over two years and a week after warranty ran out the idler pulley broke and was replaced at our expense Then 4 months later the… Read more

motor over heated and kept breaking the circuit breaker. We replaced it with another brand. This may have been a one of but it was very disappointing for such a trusted brand.

Brilliant machine. Clothes dry without issues. For the price you really can't go wrong – Normal clothes and delicates. Excellent basic controls. Gentle on delicates. Extremely satisfied at all basic options. Not noisy at all. Thanks Simpson. You guys rock. Extremely good performance from this machine. Show details

Basic, functional and simple – Bought this as an interim dryer as one we had got well past its sell by date but we were not quite ready for a full laundry revamp. Also had this one bought by the landlord when we were renting so knew it was easy to use, Basic functions - dial timers and 2 heat levels. Like the safety button on the door. Be careful with the dial - it must… Read more

really only go one way - even though will actually turn both, My only other little gripe is that you can't get it with the door hung different ways as unfortunately the layout of our laundry (and my height meaning it has to be hung upside down so I can reach the dial) means that the door opens the wrong way which is very awkward when trying to get clothes in and out. Something I will certainly be considering more deeply when buying our next one.

Is a very light Dryer, I took it home and installed it myself, I put all type of clothing in it, The only… Read more

thing I haven't tried yet is drying shoes in it but can confirm is very gentle on delicates and knitwears,

Can’t live without it – Good value for money...Easy to clean the lint filter out...Very easy control panel to use...We purchased a rubber mat to sit out dryer on the bench in the laundry to keep it sturdy when in use...Definitely no complaints about this dryer.

Another quality Simpson product – Have only used it a couple of times since I bought it but so far so good & seems quieter then other dyers I have used. The price was quite acceptable as it is a basic dryer & that is all I wanted. Show details

Great value small dryer – I bought this dryer to help with rainy days, finish clothes off at night and to dry sheets. Is is very basic as it only has a warm or hot temperature setting and a timer. I have no clue how long to set it to dry my clothes or linen and there are no instructions so I have to guess or Google how long. I didn’t have many options as I needed a dryer to stack on top of my small washing machine and this dryer was just the right size. Show details
