F&P Heat Pump Dryer
Well made, was securely packaged and easy to move from store to home and in place. A bit of a pain not having written instructions as they are on line and you download the app. Works well and very happy with the performance

At a glance
This 8kg heat pump dryer is a smart, family-friendly option for households drying regular loads of clothing, towels and delicate items. Its strengths are strong energy performance with a 9 star rating, wool-safe drying, flexible placement and handy app connectivity. A fair limitation is that it focuses on practical everyday drying rather than the larger capacity or more advanced customisation found in more premium models.

- Wool and Delicates Care
- Space-Saving Laundry Setups

Things to consider
The 8kg capacity and feature set are well suited to everyday use, but larger households or buyers wanting more specialised premium drying options may prefer a bigger model or a higher-end range.
Energy efficiency score
9.5/10 - Excellent efficiency for the category with a 9 star energy rating and estimated annual energy use of 113 kWh.
Family laundry suitability
8.5/10 - Well suited to regular family washing loads, though very large households may prefer a higher-capacity dryer.
Allergy suitability
7.5/10 - The sanitise option supports more hygiene-focused drying, though it is not positioned as a specialist allergy-care model.
Noise level vs category
7/10 - Likely in line with typical heat pump dryer expectations, but no specific noise figure is provided.
Ease of use rating
8.5/10 - Simple controls, a clean door lint filter reminder, child lock and app notifications make it straightforward for everyday use.
Key benefits
- 8kg Capacity: Handles regular family-sized loads including everyday clothing and towels without being oversized for smaller homes.
- Heat Pump Drying System: Dries clothes gently at lower temperatures to help care for fabrics across a wide range of everyday garments.
- 9 Drying Programs: Gives practical options for cotton, mixed fabrics, polyester, wool, delicates and other common laundry types.
- Woolmark Black Certification: Suitable for machine-washable woollens, making it a strong choice for wool care at home.
- 9 Star Energy Rating: Offers high energy performance with estimated annual energy consumption of 113 kWh, helping reduce running costs.
- Wi-Fi Connectivity: Links to the SmartHQ app for cycle notifications, guides and access to extra functions.
- Reversible Door: Makes it easier to fit the dryer into different laundry layouts and improve day-to-day access.
- Rack Dry, Refresh and Sanitise Options: Adds flexibility for items that need gentler support, quick freshening or extra fabric care.
Q: Does this heat pump dryer need an external vent or duct?
A: No. DH8060J5 uses a heat pump system, so it does not need a wall vent like a vented dryer. That makes it easier to place in many laundries, though it still needs normal room airflow and space for the door to open.
Q: Will drying take longer than a standard high-heat dryer?
A: Yes. Heat pump drying uses lower temperatures to be gentler on fabrics and reduce energy use, so cycles can run longer than high-heat vented drying. DH8060J5 suits buyers who value fabric care and efficiency over the fastest finish.
Q: Can I dry machine-washable woollens in this dryer?
A: Yes. DH8060J5 is Woolmark Black certified and has a wool program for machine-washable woollens. It is a good fit for knitwear that needs lower-heat care, but items labelled hand wash or dry clean only should still stay out of the dryer.
Q: Is this dryer a good fit for a smaller laundry?
A: Yes. DH8060J5 is freestanding, has a reversible door and can be stacked with a compatible washer to save floor space. It is better suited to regular household loads than shoppers wanting a larger drum for very bulky wash days.
Q: What does the SmartHQ connection actually add day to day?
A: SmartHQ adds cycle notifications, guides and extra functions through Wi-Fi, so you can monitor the dryer from your phone. DH8060J5 still works with its onboard controls, so app access is useful for convenience rather than essential operation.
