My Wife & I bought this dryer to dry towels and sheets, there are only 2 of us in the house so the dryer has very little use. Recently it has been making very loud noises when tumbling anticlockwise but ok clockwise, so noisy it can be heard at other end of the house. We rang Electrolux who said out of warranty, we can of course charge you for a tech to visit, I mentioned applied warranty and believe you really should get at least 5 years out of a dryer, she argued that they don't know how much it has been used and you should expect wear & tear. We know how this has been used and in our opinion it has represented absolutely terrible value for money.

We bought this when we renovated the laundry, though with little reviews around we simply trusted the brand. Move forward 3 years and we have since found the whole circuit board has died meaning that for the cost of the repairs we will now consider buying a replacement machine as next best option. Looking at options I reviewed the soon to be discontinued Electrolux 6kg Smart Dryer EDV605HQWA and sadly it has had so many poor "1 star" reviews that I find it hard to return to this brand!

Our machine has been vented externally so minimal condensation and usage has been at minimum 2 times a week.

Ample option of settings to suit most of the fussy customers, easy to use & very attractive price for an European brand. can easily mount topside down or use as it is, I found bit slow in drying process, if you use clothes straight out from washer to dryer, this will increase running cost as it take pretty considerable time to fully dry not so wet cloths.

This dryer is easy to use and keep clean. It has lots of different drying options that are simple to understand. I have used it for clothes, sheets and towels - no issues.

I purchased one of these 5 years ago and it broke last year. I stripped it down and did some elimination. I thought that it might be the pcb, but to be sure, I purchased a new one. Stripped the new one and it was the pcb. It was very easy finding a pcb online and the pcb was under $150 delivered. Great having two of these dryers, just expensive to run all the time.

We bought our Electrolux time machine (605 is a discontinued model) years ago after our Ariston died. We've had it serviced once in that time after it moved house bit it has been the most reliable washing machine i've ever owned.

- Drier sensor hopeless and doesn't work. Will stop and indicate it is finished, washing will be so hot it burns when touched but when it cools it isn't actually dry.
- Vent cover at bottom fell off after a week and will never stay on - not broken just faulty design.
- Will buy LG next time, have experience with them and they are great (especially the condenser drier.)

Loved this dryer for the first 2 years. Then it stopped drying properly. Clothes are not quite dry at the end of the sensor cycle. Wondering why this is happening. Have looked at the manual and trouble shooting but no help.

It seemed ok till yesterday, 9 months after the 24 month warranty ran out. from two different electricians, my mate and the one Harvey Norman recommended, it sounds like a cement mixer now and apparently that is a bearing failure. Also getting a quote is costly so it is a throw out job. What a waste of money and another Black Mark on Harvey Norman.
Changing brands and retailers. Fisher and Bagel looks good

a review 7 years in the making. not much people will review after so long ?
hard to clean totally, works 99% with extra dry.
a bit noisy and chew quite some electricity.
some will last 10 plus years but I also use extra dry so 7 years and 1 day later poof of smoke .. now going for the edv 6552 model

I bought one of these while living in Tasmania, a required product for that state. I have since moved home to WA, while not a necessary item to own over here, it comes in handy for those winter days, more so since I am currently in a Rental, and they don't have a Hills Hoist, but a clothes line that hangs off the house.

As my bed linen in all King Size with not enough line space I will usually tumble dry my doona cover, and hang the sheets outside.

The best feature of this item is the sensor dry, so I'm not wasting money electricity on a time cycle.

I've had this dryer for a while now and it has been brilliant. It has been used extensively when my daughter was a newborn. It is fairly quiet and strangely helps my daughter fall asleep when on. There are different settings that you can use to suit your drying needs. It takes about 1-1.5 hrs to dry a load of laundry and it even reminds you to clean out the lint filter.

I purchased this dryer through The Good Guys and fair to say it gets used approximately 1x week - last night it started making a clunking noise and I've been told I have to pay to have someone come out to fix this --- Totally unacceptable that a $470 machine lasts 28 months before becoming faulty. Will never buy Electrolux again ... My previous Simpson dryer lasted 12 years before have an issue

Been using this for 3.5 years already & I am happy with my purchase. Energy efficient and has a sensor. Our clothes dry well, even the winter jackets. We also have an electrolux front loader which is equally satisfying to use. I am happy with all of my Electrolux appliances.

Not much on offer that could be wall mounted but this one can be. This model is much larger than our previous dryer in width and height. Reaching to the back of the drum is difficult when wall mounted which is our only option due to lack of space. Control panel is pretty simple once used a few times. We were told this model had a sensor to detect when clothes are dry but I find it goes on for a long time with out setting a time. Biggest downside is the noise. Very loud compared to our old model. Otherwise does the job it’s meant to.

Other than a two star energy rating I can't fault this machine. I put my clothes in, it's starts and has a sensor to tell it when to stop. Too easy. Sometimes bigger stuff like multiple sheets can be a bit damp feeling in the centre, but if you separate them a bit you can chuck them back in to finish. It's large capacity means I can fit bedding in there with ease. Filter is easy to clean. Recommend.

We purchased this dryer after renovating our laundry and needing a dryer to replace one we'd had for over thirty years, that would wall mount, dry well and be as efficient as possible with power, while not costing the earth. The Electrolux met all our requirements and more. The EDV6051 is a great machine for a reasonable price.
