Simple and not fancy, but works great!

published

I bought this Simpson dryer almost two years now. I use it very often but it works beautifully...simply get the job done. The appliance comes with a simple design with a rotary dial and no sophisticated display. I have a feeling that this appliance can last for next few more years.

Purchased in April 2021.

Great

published

I thought my Hoover was good for lasting 31 yrs but this one is so much better at drying and doesn't blow dust everywhere like the last one. Good on electricity too. I'm a happy customer thus far. Can recommend to anyone needing a new dryer or wanting to update their old one. Price was reasonable too.

Can try it

published

If you are looking for dry dryers, you can try them. It's perfect for our needs. The drying machine has the basic control device, the use is convenient. Mainly in rainy days with my dryer. It has a very small voice and dries quickly. You can set the time you want it to run so that it can be manipulated on one side.

Great dryer

published

I've found this dryer to be really reliable especially at it's price point. It's not ideal for really gentle requirements but for a family of 4 with loads of clothes to dry it does an excellent job. Does create a lot of moisture in the air though which is the only downfall. It's now 8 years old and going strong.

A sad choice

published

The dryer does not dry the clothes and I would have to run it again. As compared to my previous make & model, this is utterly disappointing.
The lint and hot air from the clothes comes out from the front instead of providing a hose to remove the hot air from the rear of the machine. No hose was provided for the exhaust from the front.

Very good dryer

published

Simpson dyer is great
Leaves the clothes looking good & not crinkly
Even if u leave the clothes to the next day, clothes still look good - surprisingly
We’ve had others & not been to happy
The lint produced needs to be replaced every dry but still is great & requires no effort

Great simple dryer

published

I just wanted a basic dryer to dry clothes during winter and in case of emergencies. I looked at several options from expensive to cheap and this dryer seemed to do the trick since I'm not planning on using it very often. The 5kg drum is a great size and it's super simple to use. Been great!

Excellent Simspon Reliability

published

This is out third Simspson clothes dryer over many years. We always but=y them beacause they are so simple and reliable. I have had the back off before and there is nothing to them. A drum, a belt and a heating element plus a timer. Simple is best with things like this and I expect to get a long service life from it

Perfect

published

This dryer is amazing I can’t fault it! The dial is perfect and hasn’t been playing up like I have heard others have! They make the clothes very hot and it’s so great but not for towels as they unravel in the dryer but overall it’s a great dryer !

Really excellent dryer

published

This dryer dries quickly and is easy to use. It’s really easy to clean the lint tray out as it’s near the front of the machine. It has a super long cycle which is useful as I can put it on, go to bed and know whatever I’m drying is guaranteed to be dry in the morning. I definitely recommend this drier.

Reliable Simpsons Dryer

published

I had no doubts about which brand of dryer to buy after our last Simpson put in nearly 20 years work.
They are solid, reliable and simple dryers that just work. Controls are simple, just high and low heat and the timer.
Mounting on the wall is easy too with the wall mount bracket.
I trust this brand and hope to get another 20 years,

Reliable Dryer

published

Simpson make good simple products that last well. We had a Simpson washer my whole childhood - the same one the whole time. They may not have all the fancy electronic controls but I see that as more complexity to go wrong. This dryer is the same, a simple design that works very well. It always starts and I never have to think about it other than occasionally remember to clean the lint out. It can take a whole load strength from the washer and doesn't make much noise either. Its a great simple dryer

Good Family Dryer

published

This does us very well indeed.
It is a simple 5KG dryer. Nice and simple not too complicated.
I literally have no complaints of any kind, It does exactly what I expect - spins and dries clothes and gives no trouble.
You can tell it's not as sturdy as they used to be back in the day but it works as well as always.
A good choice

Nice an Simple - Does The Job Reliably

published

We have had this workhorse for about two years - never misses a beat.
I like to keep things simple (less things to go wrong) and this dryer does just that. It has a rotary timer, not computer electronics and it works a treat. You do need to remember to empty out the "pancake" of lint from the door filter from time to rime n but apart from that its keeps on keeping on/
Simple and reliable, like the old days!
I would suggest getting the 5KG version, even for a single person, as that size is best for doonas and bedding.
A good basic dryer.

Works adequately

published

Bought it 4 months ago and I think that it is functional and quite worth the buy. It has not broken down on me so far and for a normal load usually it takes about 1hr 15 minutes to dry. Easy to operate and understand, easy to take out the filter to clean the dust.

Great dryer

published

This dryer is great I use mine every day and I have 3 kids so you can imagine how much washing I have. It dries equally, so easy to operate, very easy to clean & decent size inside so I’m not struggling to fit in a full wash. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

It's a good dryer !

published

I really like my dryer, I like the air sense drying concept it saves energy. I also.like the energy rating on them. The only thing g I don't like is the way the filter is. I do t like the way doesn't seem to gather all the lint and it accumulates around the inside rim of the barrel.

Hi, i bought a 5.5kg Simpson dryer but i couldnt work out how to operate the timer . Once i use air dry option the arrow stays there. Is it then suppose to sit on one of the time options after that ?
Am i suppose to pick 30 60 or 90 minutes cycle ?
