After about 15 years, my good old faithful 4.5kg Fisher & Paykel clothes dryer decided she's done enough!! So here I was having to research on the current products available in the market. Having had the previous one last so long, I didn't want to stray far from the brand and therefore gave F&P first dibs. Online reviews and explanations of dryers today apparently come in three different types; however, only the vented dryers can be wall-mounted, inverted, at the expense of power usage. So I shortened my list and dove head in - Found AppliancesOnline having the best price with the best service and reviews all round, sporting the most variety of dryers. Having bought from them before, it wasn't a difficult decision to do business with them again and after purchasing the unit online, it was delivered literally the following morning!!! The DE7060G2 is a 7kg vented dryer that is wall mountable, invertable, and its controls console able to be inverted to for when the unit is hung upside down. Sporting six drying modes, with a moisture auto-sensor, it is amazingly easy to operate: just throw your (washed and spun) clothes into the front-loading stainless steel drum - easy task with its 180-degree opening doors - and click PLAY! Thats it! It defaults on AUTO which sets the sensor to dry (vs moist or extra-dry) and will stop when it 'senses' the load in general has reached that level of dryness. No need to set WARM or HOT cycles, or to guess if the load needed 90 minutes, or 120 minutes. It does it all for you! Just load, and press play. Simples! But if you wanted a much more bespoke result - maybe not so dry, or even extra dry, then you can come off AUTO and set the dryer up however you like per old school style. The middle ground is of course, the six dryer modes that helps you decide what you're doing, say TOWELS, or JEANS, or lighter garments. Even fluffy toys or shoes!! The dryer came with a very thoughtful internally mounted (non-rotating) drying rack for items that you wished to be dried, but not tumbled. Being a larger capacity meant that it is notably bigger than the outgoing 4.5kg unit; but thats a great thing because now, I just about can chuck my entire load of washing into the dryer if need be! No louder or noisier than the older model, I can't say that it is a quiet unit. It does drone as you would expect from a clothes dryer. It is about twice as heavy as the 4.5kg unit (which seemed the norm in the day) and was a slight struggle to wall mount. The control panel was easily inverted (8 philips screws in total, nothing technical) to accommodate the inversion of the whole dryer for wall mounting. Venting is by default through the front, but the unit also allows various other methods of venting (rear and or above) therefore not requiring the room to be windowed if vented out to the ceiling space or through the wall. All in all, a great purchase from a reliable, dependable, even excellent purveyor of home appliances - Thank you AppliancesOnline for a truly easy, hassle-free, and ultra-swift purchase and delivery process. I was without a dryer for two days in total!! Amazing service!!! Read full review

I like the feature I can just load it up and it will stop when it senses the load is dry. I also like the feature I can delay the start. This helps when I want to use it in the peak of the solar panel electricity production when I am not home. It is also larger than my previous dryer so I can put all my towels into it rather than do multiple loads. What I don't like is the door assembly appears to me not as sturdy as my previous 15 year old dryer. The door was not correctly aligned when delivered and I needed to loosen the door screws and adjust the door / door closed switch. After this its ok and mates correctly. It should have been sturdy enough to not need any alignment.
