Do not put this on top of matching washer..... unless you're on concrete.
DH8060P1I am onto my third dryer (F and P have honored warranties), because what no one knew, was that if you have a wooden floor (as opposed to a concrete slab), the washer vibrates wildly, and damages the dryer sitting on top.
I never used the dryer/s at the same time as the washer below, but the violent shaking of the high-powered washer caused damage nevertheless. And this was with the F and P stacker kit in use. The dryer is also very difficult to keep clean of lint, because of the nature of condenser dryers.
The latest dryer is now on the benchtop, annoying, because I specifically wanted to save space with the stackable washer/dryer.
wonderful
DH8060P1The clothes dryer is fantastic and the design is stylish. Once dry, the clothes can be immediately put away or put on. This function is really great, it can dry the clothes of the family, also can dry the clothes of the child individually. It's really useful when it's raining.

It’s hit and miss
DH8060P1We loved this dryer to start but it didn’t take long before we ran into a constant battle with it. It’s very temperamentle, we always clean the lint filter after every cycle but yet it stops during cycles and beeps repeatedly we clean every single inch we can all the time but always go back to the same issue not long after

Don’t buy this
DH8060P1This dryer, because it only rotates one way, rolls all of you washing up into a tight ball.so that nothing actually dries.
Have tried everything suggested on line, by others, who also have this dryer,,tennis ball, dry towel etc.
Ok for very small things, but terrible for larger things, sheets, Donna covers, large towels.
Took two and a half hours to dry a single Dona cover. So very expensive to run and simply hopeless if you are not home to unravel the ball every few minutes.
Fisher and paykell need to address the issue and make machines that rotate both ways,anyone could see that rotating one way wouldn’t work.
Wasn’t aware of this one way issue when I purchased it and who would think to ask.
Do not buy this machine.

Great dryer got us comfortably through winter
DH8060P1This replaced a mighty old Simpson that lasted forever! It is quiet and efficient by comparison. Makes hardly any noise running and it has reversing action so clothes do not end up in a ball Yes! Easy and simple to use and also easy to clean the lint filter. Family loves it!

Excellent dryer but died just out of warranty just like all the others
DH8060P1This is my third 'reputable' brand dryer around the $1000 mark in the last 7 years. I'm wondering if there's any point buying quality anymore when everything is designed to last just after the warranty period???
Started leaving black marks on clothing at about 2 years and stopped working entirely after 2 years 4 months.
That aside, it was great while it lasted, especially impressed by the lack of steam/moisture output and 'sheets' function which almost dried sheets entirely without tangling (needed to hang them out briefly).

Efficient dryer
DH8060P1I like this dryer and its smart technology, all of my fabrics come out great and not overdrying. I still have to see what shrinkage int he dryer is, everything just like it should be, lint-free and in perfect shape. I have not used the delayd start feature and I think it is not very useful.

Lifesaver in winter!
DH8060P1My parents just bought us this and I wanted to share just how good it is! Going from no dryer, just using airing racks to this beauty in the middle of ta Victorian winter is such a blessing! It is quick! I can do a load in 40 minutes, no problems that wouldn't have really been dry in two days. The controls are simple and clear and it looks absolutely lovely in the laundry. One VERY happy owner!

Disappointed!
DH8060P1One of the key features we were looking for when we were buying a clothes dryer was the delayed start as I use this feature all the time with my washing machine. We looked around online to find out any reviews on this Fisher & Paykel heat pump dryer and didn't see any particular warnings. When we started to use the delayed start feature, the engine starts whirring, and is quite noisy - noisier than most of the actual running of the dryer, and is a real problem when you set the dryer to run at 2am, and have to listen to it whirring away for hour
... Read mores. We have had a technician out to look at it. Apparently the machine is meant to do this. Had we known this, we would never have bought it. In addition, the sensor drying feature is pretty poor. To actually get clothes dry, we have to use the heavy feature and extra dry to get clothes anywhere near to dry. Given how expensive these dryers are, I'm really really really disappointed. Shouldn't have wasted the money, and either bought a cheaper dryer, or shelled out the small amount more to go the premium route instead.Find out how Fisher & Paykel DH8060P1 compares to other Heat Pump Clothes Dryers

Good dryer
DH8060P1I like thi dryer it is simple and easy to use and can dry clothes in no time but you need to make sure that you put certai garments on the right setting otherwise it can burn the fabric if it is too hot. Overall I have been using this dryer for about half a year and it works great it does the job without any fuss

This is a great dryer
DH8060P1The Fisher & Paykel clothes dryer is the best appliance I have bought. It is so convenient to use, especially during winter when I can not hang my washing outside. It dries exceptionally well and it is also able to sense when the load is dry and so it automatically turns off. It also doesn't take very long to dry a load of washing.

Very good results on clothes except my sheets
DH8060P1Just purchased my dryer, my old Simpson was over 20 years old. I have dried a few loads and am amazed at how much lint this machine collects. My towels dry perfectly, day to day clothes dry well too. My only issue is with drying sheets, the cycle finished but my sheets where still damp.
Would love some feed back from Fisher & Paykel regarding this issue please. I have 5 in my family and am very happy with this dryer, my laundry does not get hot any more nor is there any moisture in the air

Excellent Dryer
DH8060P1Winter is well on its way in Victoria and I am so glad I have this now. It makes quick works of clothes that would have taken four days to dry although I still try to air dry them a bit. It has well layed out sensible controls and was easy peasy to mount. It looks good in the laundry and I feel Fisher and Paykel are a brand I can trust.

Excellent product and well priced
DH8060P1We bought a new condenser dryer of a different brand type and it wouldn't collect the water into the storage tank. Plumbed it into to sink and still it failed. Returned it to HN who replaced it. unfortunately, the second machine did the exact same thing. Again we returned and replaced it with the Fisher and Paykel. It's proving to be super reliable, easy to use and with great features.

It's a beautiful thing!
DH8060P1This thing is basically silent and it takes about twenty minutes to dry a load out of our 8KG top loader. We spent a little bit more but it was worth it in the end and our old clunker went out to the top. Great product and would recommend. amazing

Over rated.
DH8060P1For the price we paid we thought we were getting a top of the line dryer.....but it struggles with towels and sheets?. They still feel slightly damp and cold when finished. Sheets do roll into a ball and do not dry properly. Surely from wordclass appliance specialists like fisher and paykel you would expect it would be fit for purpose. Yes for other situations its great and does what its supposed to do...but then so do machines half the price.

Great product
DH8060P1My first heat pump dryer ... and in fact my first Fisher & Paykel product ... but extremely happy. Simple to set up, easy to use, great range of settings, and (apparently) very energy efficient ... will report back when I get my next electricity bill. Best of all ... no steamed up and damp laundry anymore.

Impressive
DH8060P1Recently bought this.
Super quiet & easy to use.
It has simple settings and is quick and efficient.
Very happy with it, just quite an annoying sound to notify it’s finished washing that echos around the house at night. But I understand that is apart of it notifying it’s done. Will not complain too much as I have morn researched for a mute button.
Loving it how did I do it with one half the size
DH8060P1Love this dryer the shoe rack has been a godsend with wet soccer boots and school shoes. It has my washing dry first time everytime with the autosensor. I had a dryer half the size before which would stop half way through tangle the clothes and never fit even half a load from my washing machine this big beast dries my king size doing cover top and bottom sheet and 6 pillow cases with ease. So so happy with our purchase it is quiet and even the husband can operate it ;)

Amazing!!
DH8060P1I am so in love with this Fisher & Paykel Clothing Dryer. I have used many Clothy Dryers but this one is by far my favourite. My clothes, towels, sheets, etc, are all dry so damn quick!! Honestly couldn’t recommend this product enough. Thanks for such an amazing product !!

nice!
DH8060P1I purchased the dryer about a month ago. The 1st unit didn't power up but Appliances Online arranged for a replacement the very next day and since then it has been smooth sailing. The heat pump is awesome energy efficient and doesn't steam up the room. It drys things so much better than any other dryer I have had

Easy to use
DH8060P1We absolutely love our dryer, so much quicker than our last one. It's easy to use very reliable. It's such rainy weather in Queensland at the momental so we need a dryer that is nice and quick especially when you have 3 little kids and 2 adults in the house.

I am waiting patiently for my replacement dryer
DH8060P1I love Fisher and Paykel washers and dryers. This is my second set. Washer works great; dryer hasn’t worked since it was installed- no heat! For 5 weeks I have been trying to get the machine repaired. Apparently replacement parts are unavailable (on back order). Fisher Paykel Customer Care finally agreed to a replacement. But it has been a drag to haul clothes to the laundromat to use their dryer for the past 4 weeks.
I hope that once installed it works as Wonderfully as everyone else is reporting

Highly efficient drier
DH8060P1The initial cost may seem higher than non-heat pump driers but the energy usage is a lot lower. It feels like the machine is less harsh on the clothes also. The air-dry function without spin is great for drying trainers that have been in the wash. When leaving on delayed start it does make an interesting noise, but not a major issue. Would highly recommend.

Worth the extra money
DH8060P1Brought this one month ago. When we had all the Feb rain. Used it a lot. Good thing is energy bill didn't go high. Worth the money to get extra energy star rating. Only 1 negative. This dryer can't be hung on the wall. As it's wasn't designed for it -F&P made it stackable instead. Which isn't great if you like top loaders. And a side comment, best to get the draining hose linked to the sink. So it isn't another thing to do when you use the machine. Overall I am happy & glad i brought it. If your in the market to buy a good qaulity dryer you can trust but are worried about electricity costs and venting etc. Get this, its pricy but worth it. And with interest free payments it makes it easier to pay off.

Quiet, no moisture in room, fast!
DH8060P1I didn't realise how far clothes drying technology has come. This machine was well worth the money we paid for it. The features are endless, it dries shoes, it doesn't need an external vent, it collects the water it sucks out of whatever you put in to it (into a container, it's gotta be more than 2ltrs! We use it to water our garden). Great machine, perfect match with our F&P washer. Highly recommended!

No complaints
DH8060P1You could definitely do worse then the DH8060P1. I picked it up on sale, and it has been good value for money. It might be a little loud for a small apartment, but it's fairly quick and does as good a job as a lot of the more expensive machines.

Expensive but fantastic
DH8060P1This is a top of the range dryer that is perfect for areas without adequate ventilation. It dries clothes relatively quickly and has a number of options including air dry. It is extremely energy efficient. Although it can be a little noisy, it is extremely effective and well worth the price. It compliments the matching washer very well.

Yep
DH8060P1F & P are a great brand and one I trust for white wear. Was tossing up this one with the other brands as well as top loaders and this one came out best. Got a 7kg and works a treat. Just need to get a matching dryer now s

Excellent
DH8060P1This machine is a great invention... would recommend it. It washes clothes like our old machine that my mum handed down to me which was over 20 years old. The only negative is lack of colour selection. Wish next model has more choices. Please select you won’t look back

I love it!
DH8060P1So far I have been loving using it.
I don't have any complaint in terms of the timing.
However, sometimes i felt like it made a little bit too much of a noise, but maybe because of the type of the laundry that I had in there.
Having said that, I am happy that I bought the dryer and having a 6 stars on energy rating. That' really good.

Great dryer DH8060P1
DH8060P1This is an excellent dryer, it doesn't take as long to dry the clothes as other dryers I have had in the past have, it doesn't shrink anything, its filter is easy to clean, it doesn't seem to leave any pills or fluff on your clothes either, it does get a lot of use, love this dryer DH8060P1 not the above DE6060G1

DH8060P1This dryer is wonderful, I love it, I use it at my sisters home, I do a bit of work for her & she has dogs that sleep on the beds, it doesn't leave any dog hair or fluffy bits, etc, it gets a lot of use & I would recommend it, I know she loves it

Crap products and for what you pay
DH8060P1I purchased a dryer two and half years ago had the technician out twice for problems this time it was another fault half an hour to fix but $162.00 to fix so called the customer service centre waited 15 min on line and the n speak to the person let them know that the machine is not quoted 3 years old and after paying $880.00 and I’m having problems with so the best comment that came out of the service man was yep how disappointed I am with them so people be very aware just because you pay for lasting quality it is all [Word Removed] just purchase the cheaper and replace it every 3 years don’t get caught bloody not worth the money you have been warned.

Love This Dryer
DH8060P1Purchased this dryer a couple of months ago, I don't know how I lived with out it.
No more wet windows or walls .
There are many great settings to choose from
I read how this model tangled sheets, well if the sheet setting is chosen I found there is no tangling.
Can not recommend this dryer highly enough

It dries my clothes and is quiet
DH8060P1Owned for a week so far. Done three loads.
Machine is quiet, easy to install, Inc the drain pipe at the back.
Bought at 2nds world for $1199.
A medium load of washing dries in two hours.
The sheets mode indeed does reverse tumble, the anti crease mode keeps the machine spinning occasionally so your clothes don't crease.
I haven't tried drying my shoes yet but I'm looking forward to jogging on a rainy day.

Brilliant
DH8060P1What a great unit! We had it for about 8 moths now and been relatively issue free.
Easy and comprehensive settings, quiet operation and adjustable auto sensor. Yes, it is on the expensive side, but living in a apartment with a compact and closed in laundry it is well worth it.
We did have a small issue with it ripping up our towels but after a tech looked at it, he was able to rectify the issue the same day. We did not have any drama with it since although we did have to invest in a few new towels haha.
Would definitely buy again and have nil issues recommending.
