Good dryer
Bought this during last year's winter as we decided that drying clothes near heater took too long and too cumbersome.
This unit was well worth the investment. The dry time is reasonable and the clothes come out completely dry.
The cons are that you need to clean the filter frequently (easy to do though) and your laundry needs to be well ventilated as there is a lot of steam that come out during dry program.

Excellent! 5 stars
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.

Fantastic for our needs.
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.

WOW!
This dryer was compact enough to fit in our confined dryer space, but that didn't mean it wasn't loaded with features! Superb features including auto dry and super quick and efficient drying. Best dryer we've ever had by far! Highly recommend this dryer, you'll be very happy! Replaced our F&P dryer.

Breakdowns happen - but service is where the difference is
Our Electrolux Dryer we have at a holiday home. It stopped working after 3 years - but due to the low usage and difficulty in knowing when it stopped working - I decided to bring it back to Melbourne. I came here on Product Review and noticed that there were lots of comments - but also lots of responses from the Customer Care team. So rather than complain - I emailed them. A few days later Marina emailed back asking details. I
provided those - then she committed to have a service person come around. He has just left - a very professional ...Read more

Worst dryer ever!
Bought this dryer in August 2015. Worked fantastically well until the 2 year warranty ran out. It stopped drying so I went online to find out why it was stuck on on cool. I found numerous amounts of people experiencing the same issue. I also found an article by the daily telegraph titled Electrolux EDV505 and EDV605 are the worst dryers in Australia. I read the article and it seems there is an issue with these models breaking down as soon as the 2 year warranty ends. I went into Goodguys to ask about buying a new dryer as opposed to paying the ...Read more
$145 call out fee and the salesman told me to call Electrolux and see if they will look after me as it was only September 2017, 30 days after the warranty ended. I called Electrolux and they told me exactly what I had read had happened to other people; that I needed to pay a $145 call out fee and that was just to get the technician here to diagnose the problem when the dryer cost $510. There is no recall on this product. I won't be buying this again. I'll invest in something better quality. A big waste of money.1 comment

Does a great job.
What can I say, it dries my clothes and it dries them well! It has quite a few timing and heat options, which is great. And the capacity is excellent! I have a 10kg washing machine and an entire load can fit into this dryer. Overall a great product and well worth the money.

Awesome!
I bought this to go with the Electrolux front loading washer as a matching stack, and it is by far the best dryer I have ever owned! The drying sensors are fantastic (unlike my old F & P dryer) and I have never had to adjust the cycle in any way. No over-cooking your clothes or leaving things still damp! It holds a massive amount of clothes, and is very thorough but gentle. The crease free option is brilliant, although even without it, I have found very little that needs to be ironed (which is a huge bonus!) It is quiet, fast and generally an all-round great value for money appliance. We are very happy with it.

Great product
This model is a sensor dryer so it sensors when your clothes are dry. Also has a clean filter button to remind you to clean the filter, it has a crease free option that will keep spinning the clothes so it doesn't crease.The only problem I did find it was a little noisy, compared to my last Electrolux of the same model which did not have a noise. There is an option of a delay drying either 9 hours 6 hours or 3 hours. You can also make use of the child lock, and you can turn the sound on and off. This model plays a tune when it is finished and gives you a reminder signal if you haven't taken a closed out straight away. It has an energy star rating of 2. Drys your clothes nicely.

Makes me happy
Had to replace very old dryer and wow! this one is able to tell when washing is dry unlike my old one which could only be set to a time. It has reverse tumbling so things don't get all knotted up, so a big improvement on my old dryer. Also for a dryer it is reasonably quiet. Have only had it about 2 months but so far its been great! It has a whole lot of settings many of them I may never use but was still comparably priced with some dryers which only had very basic settings. At this stage I can't fault it

Perfectly adequate
Used this dryer for a family of 5 for over two years now, and it's mostly been great.
Clothes generally come out without too much wrinkling due to auto-reversing mechanism. The "crease free" mode also helps by rotating the drum every 5 or 10 minutes if you can't empty it straight away.
The lint filter is easy to clean, being located at the front. Unfortunately my filter did suffer from some deterioration (laddering) shortly after purchasing. Electrolux supplied 2 new ones promptly, and one of those is still brand new in it's packaging....Read more
The auto sensing on this dryer isn't fantastic though. Any setting less than "extra dry" will leave laundry feeling damp at the end of it's cycle. Even on "extra dry" its not unusual to find damp spots on thicker fabric from a mixed load.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Great so far....purchased last year and took extended warranty just in case
Not sure how long exactly we have owned this dryer I think around 18 months and so far so good! It is nice looking, sits on a special rubber mat to protect the washing machine below (on which it sits to save space). When we move to our new house we hope to wall mount or have sitting under a bench (side by side) probably better that way. Had trouble initially with condensation, turned out we had the vent turned the wrong way around - problem solved easily. Happy with the drying time and capacity but we don't use it all the time much prefer to...Read more
line dry where possible, live in a house not a unit and we don't have a large family. We do have two small dogs and I'm very happy with the fluff that it filters out of our wash and clean the filter each time I use it so it doesn't get clogged.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

The best dryer
I love my new dryer it works so efficiently and is pleasantly quiet. Seems to be quite energy efficient and also delivers clothes that require no ironing. For the reasonable price point on this particular white good, it is very good value for money and a valuable tool in a busy household such as ours.

This dryer is good but a bit noisy
This dryer is efficient and dries clothes pretty well, although I often put it on twice for really wet clothes. I find it a bit noisy compared with our old dryer. The settings are a bit confusing, I tend to just use the same one all the time, the normal dry although it has time settings etc.

2 years 3 people 0 problems good purchase.
Same as my other review, it just works every day without fail after 2 years of use by 3 people drying dressing gowns and towels, large loads of clothes and they've dried evenly reliably and in a reasonable amount of time every time.

Excellent Customer Service
My Electrolux dryer had been working like a dream for 2/12 years when suddenly the appliance had no power. I contacted Electrolux to see if they were familiar with this problem and I was blown away by their willingness to assist me to have this problem resolved for me. They organised repair and parts at no cost to myself. I would recommend their products as the dryer was a dream until the breakdown and this was attended to quickly and efficiently. I would buy Electrolux in preference to other brands simply based on their excellent follow up service if a problem arises. Thank you so much Marina. Much appreciated

Sensor Malfunction dryer combusted
Dryer purchased less than 3 years ago. Used regularly due to owning a business where towels are used regularly each day. Used the dryer most days, wouldn't dry them completely, timer sometimes wouldn't work, 2 weeks ago,we had to call the fire brigade as dryer cut off/cooling sensor malfunctioned and didn't turn off dryer causing it to burn towels and combust dryer causing a small house fire. Thank goodness for fire alarms No more dryers in particular this brand for me. Beware of the sensor buttons!!!

here we go again
I had the predecessor 605, which had 2 capacitors, one belt, one idler and one bearing go belly up over 5 years. The only reason why I put my money through the ringer again....the dryer was on special and the backup service agreement was reasonable. The new unit works well and is basically the same as the 605 unit. seems to dry a bit better, controls are similar....but I would like to know how much time is left on the drying cycle.

First one was faulty, okay now
First one was faulty and the heating element stopped working out of the blue, was replaced within a week, not the quiest clothes dryer but does the job, the sensor dry sometimes doesn't work properly and when it says finished the clothes will still be damp but most of the time preforms fine

Electrolux misrepresents information and turns a blind eye
Beware of Electrolux products - the company has published misleading information in the user manual regarding this product, admits to fault, but does nothing to rectify. The external venting kit is an optional extra - I purchased what I thought was a compliant venting kit according to the supplied user manual. It was online rather than in person, which Electrolux used as the excuse not to exchange, despite being from a preferred supplier as listed on their website. The customer service rep acknowledged the error, spoke to their supervisor and o...Read more
ffered a 10% discount on the correct kit. No refund or exchange for the incorrect kit. The dryer itself is ok, although lint build up significantly impedes performance (drying takes longer and consumes more power).Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
