Solt GGSVDE45W 4.5kg Vented Dryer (White)

I bought this dryer for my Mother-in-law and it will probably be sufficient for her needs. ProsThis dryer was $100 cheaper than the next cheapest brand. It came with a wall mounting kit included, rather than as an option, which was good. It also has an air exhaust elbow included.Its nice and compact and doesnt obstruct access to the top loading washer below it, nor does it present a hazard to your head. ConsIt only has one heat setting and we find that it takes a half hour longer to dry than the equivalent load in our Simpson dryer. The airflow is not as strong as our machines and this could be due to the fact that the air intake and outlet both have woven filter pads.The air intake is behind the door flange which may also restrict airflow slightly.

The airflow is not as strong as our machines and this could be due to the fact that the air intake and outlet both have woven filter pads.The air intake is behind the door flange which may also restrict airflow slightly. The air outlet filter is in the back of the drum. Because the unit isnt too deep its fairly easy to reach, but may be a problem for some people.The outlet filter has the usual fine nylon gauze to catch the lint but behind that is the other mesh filter. These woven mesh filters are there to prevent fine lint dust blowing into the room and being sucked back into the machine but they must restrict the airflow significantly. I wouldnt recommend this unit for a family or anyone who needs to dry large loads quickly but its sufficient to spin an old ladys knickers around and the price is very appealing.It would also be good for a student or single person setting up house on a budget.

Had this dryer for over 3 months now, and it hasn't missed a beat. Works great for the two of us. Dries all our clothes, towels, sheets, etc. It's not very big, so that was even better for us. Because it's not very deep, I've got it in a cupboard, which we leave open when we use the dryer. ( with air gaps around it of course) . So if space is at a premium, then this dryer is perfect. I can't fault this dryer at all. Not only is it great value for money, it's also nice and compact. I would highly recommend it.

Fits more than I expected for such a small dryer. Have a 7kg washing machine and it just means I have to dry the load in 2 parts which is no big deal when the dryer is so efficient. Everything comes out dry as a bone and not deceptively warm where it feels dry until it cools down like some other dryers I've used. It's small quiet efficient and effective. Highly recommend if you need a dryer for 2-4 people. Simple easy to use and set up. Lint trap is a big fiddly until you get the hang of it as it's in the back of the barrel.
