Adequate but time consuming
Disappointed that the Westinghouse Vented Dryer does not fit the old Simpson Dryer Ventilation system airflow pipe to the outside. We now have to open all doors and windows.

At a glance
A compact 5.5kg vented dryer for everyday laundry in smaller households, this model suits singles, couples and apartments where space matters. Its strengths are Sensor Dry, reverse tumbling to reduce tangling, and wall-mount flexibility. The main limitation is its 2 star energy rating, so it is less economical than higher-efficiency condenser or heat pump dryers.

- Everyday Laundry
- Small Regular Loads
- Apartment Living
- Compact Laundries
Where it works best
- Apartments
- Small Laundries
- Units

Who it’s for

Things to consider
This vented dryer has a 2 star energy rating and estimated annual energy consumption of 247kWh, so premium heat pump models are likely to be more economical to run.
Apartment suitability
Good for apartments and compact laundries thanks to its 5.5kg capacity, compact cabinet and wall-mount option.
Energy efficiency vs category
5/10 - typical for a vented dryer, with a 2 star energy rating and 247kWh estimated annual energy consumption.
Quick drying performance
7/10 - vented drying is well suited to regular everyday loads, with Sensor Dry helping finish loads without unnecessary extra drying.
Noise level score
6/10 - no specific low-noise claim is provided, so expect standard vented dryer operating noise.
Key benefits
- Sensor Dry: Monitors moisture and stops at the selected dryness level to help prevent over-drying.
- Reverse Tumbling Action: Alternates drum direction to reduce tangling and help clothes dry more evenly.
- Wall Mount Option: Frees up floor space in smaller laundries and apartments.
- Front or Rear Venting: Gives you more flexibility when planning installation in tight spaces.
- Stainless Steel Drum: Provides a durable interior for regular household use.
- Large Door Opening: Makes loading and unloading everyday laundry easier.
- Auto Cool Down: Helps reduce creasing at the end of the cycle and leaves clothes cooler to handle.
- 2 Star Energy Rating: Delivers typical vented-dryer performance, with estimated annual energy consumption of 247kWh.
Q: Does the Westinghouse WDV556N3WB need to be vented to the outside?
A: Yes. This is a vented dryer, so it expels warm, moist air during operation and is best used in a laundry with good airflow, such as an open window or external vent path. It offers front or rear venting to suit different room layouts.
Q: Is the Westinghouse WDV556N3WB suitable for a small laundry or apartment?
A: Yes. Its cabinet is 600mm wide, 795mm high and 560mm deep, which helps it fit compact laundries more easily than larger family dryers. It also has a wall mount option, which can free up floor space where suitable support is available.
Q: How does Sensor Dry work on the Westinghouse 5.5kg Vented Dryer?
A: Sensor Dry measures the remaining moisture in the load and stops the cycle when the selected dryness level is reached. That helps reduce over-drying compared with a timed cycle, which can be useful for mixed everyday loads and lighter fabrics.
Q: What size household is a 5.5kg dryer like the WDV556N3WB best for?
A: A 5.5kg capacity usually suits singles, couples or smaller households, and it is a practical match for regular everyday loads rather than very bulky wash days. For larger families drying doonas and heavy loads often, a bigger dryer may be more suitable.
Q: Why does the WDV556N3WB use reverse tumbling action?
A: Reverse tumbling changes the drum direction during the cycle to reduce bunching and tangling. That helps clothes dry more evenly across the load and can mean fewer tightly twisted items than a basic one-direction vented dryer.
