Very reliable and simple dryer that wont let you down
We have had this dryer for two years and it has never let us down. We have it vented to the outside of the house to prevent condensation in the house and this works perfectly. I find that I can put a very large load of clothes into it and it handles them without any problems. It also spins the clothes in two directions to prevent them tangling. Because it only has dials, there are no electronics that can break. I think this dryer will last us for many more years.
Purchased in May 2021 at Home Clearance for $418.00.

A good product for the $ you spend
Purchased the 601 a few months ago and I have been happy with it so far. Our need was for washing and drying baby/children's clothes on muggy, rainy, non-sunny days.
Pros:
+ It handles the clothes with care
+ Easy to wall mount/inverted
+ not as loud as other vented dryers I've seen (when in operation)
+ Value for money/good price
Cons:
- Needs a venting kit or lots of ventilation (as with any vented dryer). Else it will soak up the walls and even leave puddles on the floor

Simple machine and thus hopefully reliable
This is a basic machine, works well and takes us 90 minutes to fully dry an average load. Being simple is advantageous, as another reviewer puts it, it's just a drum, motor and heater element. No microcomputer board to fail and leave the machine useless and face uneconomical repairs.
We only owned it for 2 months thus far, however it's seen almost daily use (usually several loads) and hasn't skipped a beat. I do not see this machine letting us down until the motor burns out which will hopefully be a long way off.
The noise it makes is acceptable and its construction appears of a decent quality. Made in Thailand.

Big Dryer at a great price
The Dryer is the large size model. When buying a dryer you need to forget all the fancy electronics and go basic otherwise you will be forever replacing circuit boards. This dryer has all you really need, it drys your clothes with no fuss or fanciness. The dryer is quiet and has a reverse spin function to stop creases and tangles. the dryer has basic controls and is easy to use.

Great 'classic; dryer - works well
This is our second Simpson dyer. I bought the last one in the late 90s and it has worked continuously until now. The only trouble we ever experienced was the belt slipping off after it was in storage. Great reliability! We have just bought pretty much the exact same one but in 6kg size . They are robust and simple. If this does 20 years of work too, I will be well and truly happy

Fantastic No Gimmick Dryer
Very happy with this dryer. My last Simpson dryer lasted 25 years. I love the basic and EASY dial function. Love the filter at the front and the quick drying.No need to refer back to the manual everytime you need to put something in the dryer..I'm so glad I read the reviews before I purchased this dryer.I almost went for the latest heat pump or condenser dryer...I'm so glad I didn't purchase those ones that take forever to dry the clothes. Thankyou Simpson for this easy to use dryer.

Great dryer!
I decided on the 6kg model as my washing machine is a 7kg. So far I've had no issues whatsoever. it dries fairly quickly and the clothes don't come out too wrinkled. I'd definitely recommend it to others and i'm proud to own a Simpson, my washing machine is also a Simpson. Can't fault this!!

Good, Cheap Dryer
This dryer was pretty cheap from the Good Guys. It has a dial and you select how long you want it to run, rather than going until the clothes are dry and stopping automatically, so you can't just put it on and wait for it to finish, you have to guess how long it will take to dry the clothes. It works well and generally I can guess how long to put it on for. The lint does not all go in the lint catcher though, and is often on the outside of the catcher for some reason - not a lot and it does still stick to the catcher so comes out ok.
