I wish it would have been easier
Not about the product but how to get it. I wanted a budget item so this one meet my requirement. But I live in the Hills district and HAD to go to Bankstown to get it. This really annoyed me, why don't local stores can't obtain such items when they don't have them in store for their customers from the stores that have them?

It does what it should
The dryer itself works well, its a little louder then our old dryer but other then that its good. The reason I gave it 3 stars is due to the fact that whoever decides on what products are used when making the dryer needs to rethink what they use. The Dryer comes out of the box with stickers on it, these stickers are a pain to get off, the large display that is on the door itself its is held on with large double sided dots, the sign itself pulls off but leaves the double sided dots behind, the black plastic on the door also scratches even when wiping with a soft cloth, it was a nightmare to remove the sticky Dots and the door on the dryer is covered in fine scratches.

Great value and gets the job done!
I really like this dryer. It was very affordable, super easy to use, and gets the job done without any fuss. The 8kg drum fits a big load of laundry or bedding easily. Highly recommend if you want something simple and reliable that won't break the bank.

Good Dryer
I am very happy with the Solt 8kg vented dryer. Being on the cheaper side I was a bit wary but it has exceeded my expectations. There's quite a few options you can select from in automatic drying times and choosing different types of loads, heavy for towels, mixed etc or set drying times. I would recommend this dryer.

Solt 8kg Vented Dryer
Great drier although the lint catcher could be more userr friendly when it comes to removing and cleaning it out as I find it gets stuck closed once removed and I have alreafy snapped 2 hinges off while trying to open it for cleaning

At a glance
The Solt 8kg vented dryer is a practical everyday dryer for apartments, small family homes and share houses that need a flexible laundry setup. Its strengths are the 8kg capacity, 12 programs, sensor drying and included wall-mount kit with a reversible control panel. The main limitation is that, as a vented dryer, it is not as energy-efficient as heat pump alternatives.

Who it’s for

- Renters Seeking Flexible Installation
Things to consider
This vented model is a more affordable, straightforward choice, but it is less energy-efficient than premium heat pump dryers and requires suitable ventilation for installation.
Apartment suitability
Good for apartments with suitable ventilation, especially where wall mounting or stacking helps save floor space.
Energy efficiency vs category
5/10 - typical for a vented dryer, but below heat pump models for energy saving.
Quick drying performance
7/10 - vented dryers are generally well suited to straightforward everyday drying, supported here by multiple programs and sensor drying.
Noise level score
6/10 - likely moderate in operation for this dryer type, with no premium low-noise features listed.
Key benefits
- 8kg CAPACITY: Handles larger everyday household loads without moving up to a bulkier dryer size.
- 12 drying programs: Gives you more cycle choice for different fabric types, from delicate clothing to heavier towels.
- Sensor drying programs: Helps stop loads at an appropriate dryness level instead of relying only on manual timing.
- Wall mount kit included: Makes wall mounting easier without needing to buy an extra installation accessory.
- Reversible control panel: Improves day-to-day usability when the dryer is wall mounted or stacked.
- Compact footprint: Fits tighter laundry spaces with dimensions of 84.5 cm high, 59.5 cm wide and 56.0 cm deep.
- Dial and button controls: Keeps operation simple and familiar for quick cycle selection.
Q: Does this vented dryer need a well-ventilated laundry space?
A: Yes. This vented dryer pushes warm, damp air out during use, so it suits a laundry with ventilation rather than a tightly enclosed cupboard. That trade-off keeps the design straightforward, but it is less flexible than non-vented dryer types.
Q: Is the 2 star rating expensive to run?
A: Solt GGSVD8W has a 2 star energy rating and estimated annual energy consumption of 351kWh. That is typical for a vented dryer, but a higher-star 8kg dryer can reduce running costs if energy efficiency matters more than simple vented drying.
Q: Is this dryer suitable for apartments or small laundries?
A: Yes, if the space has suitable ventilation. The compact cabinet, wall mount kit and stacking-friendly layout make it easier to fit into smaller laundries, but a vented dryer is less suited to sealed spaces where damp air cannot escape.
Q: When should I use sensor drying instead of time dry?
A: Use sensor drying for most everyday loads. It stops the cycle when clothes are dry, which helps avoid unnecessary extra drying, while time dry is the better pick for bulkier items or when you want to set a fixed drying period.
Q: Can the control panel be flipped for wall mounting?
A: Yes. The control panel is reversible, so the settings stay easier to read and reach when the dryer is wall mounted or stacked above a washer. That makes a real difference in compact laundries where the usual control position can be awkward.
Q: Will 8kg suit towels, sheets and everyday family washing?
A: Yes. The 8kg drum suits regular household clothing, towel and linen loads without moving to a larger dryer. Very bulky items still need room to tumble properly, so avoid packing the drum too tightly if the load includes thicker bedding.
