Customer Reviews

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Probably look for a better built dryer There are a lot of reviews raving about this dryer and there are few that seem to have issues and unfortunately we are part of the latter. This dryer seems to take a questionably long time to dry things. More often than not, the clothes come out still damp and it needs another full cycle even on the maximum dry level setting. It always seems to donut up the bedding whenever we dry it - turns it into one big lump even on the anti crease function. I have a feeling the door is a little faulty too in its construction. Almost as though it sits fractionally too low. Sometimes I notice condensation buildup on the top part of the door and you can feel hot air leaking out- probably why it takes so long to dry! Sometimes condensation builds up on the water tank too. We had a techie come and have a look at it and he said he couldn't find any issues with it. It is supposed to be very energy efficient but it draws a lot of power from what I can see on my energy monitor app because it takes so long to get things dry! This is our first Haier product and I'm certainly not confident in purchasing other appliances from them because of this.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Value Dryer Really happy with this heat pump dryer. The price was good compared to other heat pump dryers, and I can't fault it at all. Easy to use, and dries everything well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sensational Dryer Incredible value for money. So gentle on our clothes. Use it daily and barely noticed our electricity bill go up. I also have the matching front loader.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Extremely happy! Fantastic dryer! We recently purchased this to be placed in our garage (lack of space in laundry) and we are so happy! The room doesn’t get stuffy (we leave a window open to keep it ventilated) and, more importantly, our items dry beautifully. Although you do need to empty the water tank and clean the lint collector after every cycle, we are extremely satisfied with how quick it dries. It’s quiet too!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from great Review: Haier 8kg 500 Series Heat Pump Dryer – A Game Changer for Laundry As someone who used to dread laundry day, especially the energy consumption and potential damage from traditional dryers, discovering the Haier 8kg 500 Series Heat Pump Dryer has been an absolute revelation. This appliance has transformed my laundry routine, offering efficiency, gentleness, and impressive results. Efficiency That Doesn't Compromise Performance The standout feature of this dryer is undoubtedly its heat pump technology. Unlike conventional dryers that vent hot, damp air, this Haier model reuses hot air, significantly reducing energy consumption. My electricity bills have noticeably decreased since I started using it, which is a massive relief. Despite its energy-saving nature, it doesn't compromise on drying performance. Clothes come out perfectly dry, not over-baked or damp, ready to be put away or worn. Gentle Care for All Fabrics One of my biggest concerns with previous dryers was the harshness on delicate fabrics, leading to shrinkage or damage. The Haier 500 Series dryer, with its lower drying temperatures, is incredibly gentle. I've confidently dried everything from wool sweaters and silk scarves to activewear, and they've all emerged in pristine condition. This gentleness means my clothes last longer, saving me money in the long run. Thoughtful Features for Everyday Convenience Haier has packed this dryer with smart features that genuinely enhance the user experience: Easy-to-Clean Lint Filter: The lint filter is easily accessible and simple to clean, which is crucial for maintaining efficiency. Multiple Drying Programs: A good range of programs caters to different fabric types and drying needs, from 'Cottons' to 'Delicates' and even a 'Refresh' option. Quiet Operation: It operates surprisingly quietly, which is a huge plus, especially in open-plan living spaces. I can run it without it being a major disturbance. Wrinkle-Free Option: This feature really works! It helps to reduce creasing, often meaning less ironing, which is a win in my book. Minor Considerations While overwhelmingly positive, there are a couple of minor points to consider: Drying Time: Heat pump dryers generally take a little longer than traditional vented or condenser dryers. For me, the energy savings and gentleness easily outweigh this, but it's worth noting if you're in a super rush. Water Tank Emptying: You do need to remember to empty the water collection tank after every few cycles, but this is a small trade-off for not needing an external vent. Alternatively, you can plumb it directly. Conclusion The Haier 8kg 500 Series Heat Pump Dryer is an excellent investment for anyone looking for an efficient, fabric-friendly, and convenient laundry solution. It delivers on its promises of energy savings and gentle care, making laundry day less of a chore and more of a breeze. If you're in the market for a new dryer, I wholeheartedly recommend giving this model serious consideration. It's truly a five-star appliance in my home.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great dryer Great dryer, drys perfectly every time, love the sanitise and anticrease functions. Love that it pulls the water out into the removable tray rather than letting steam out into the air which can cause mould. Its a great size for out family of 4 also (3 adults 1 teen)
