Where to buy

Key Benefits

Sensor Dry Technology

Leave the thinking to us and choose from 3 preset dryness levels depending on your load - extra dry, cupboard dry or iron dry.

Key Benefits

Reverse Tumbling Action

Tumble action alternates clockwise to anti-clockwise, reducing clothes tangling and bunching together, so they dry more evenly.

Key Benefits

Auto cool down

The auto cool down forms a part of the final drying cycle. This reduces creasing of clothes and provides a safety feature.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Good I only owned the dryer for 2 months, & the mother board had to be replaced under warranty. All ok now.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Inadequate Clothes Dryer This dryer is great - except that there is no low heat setting for drying delicates. so buyer beware if what you want is a clothes dryer for these. The various programs do include extra hot (Iron) settings but don't include a low heat setting. The instruction booklet warns against drying woollen articles, and also warns that 'woven and loop knit materials may shrink by varying amounts'. If you are happy to have all your washing dried on a high heat, then it could be a great dryer for you.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Needed technician to come out after 1 use I bought this dryer to replace my previous dryer of the same model. My previous dryer lasted 8 years with no issue. This new one had 1 use and then the next time i turned it on, it sounded like grating metal from the machine. A Simpson technician had to come out and fix loose parts in the machine. It makes me concerned that there will be future issues with this machine.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Only average The heating /drying seams to be a bit hit or miss . ie sometimes it does not heat.Did not realise on purchase that at the end of cycle Machine does not shut off , instead turned the clothes every so often

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome long life I bought this dryer solely because 37 years ago, my sister in law gave us a Simpson Dryer as a wedding gift. It died finally. There was no possibility or thought given to any other brand. They were there shiny and probably had flash features but I didn't care. I wanted a Simpson. One salesman even said "the replacement won't last as long" but I didn't care. Your name and reliability sold it. In this throw away world your employees proved they could build an awesome product once therefore the possibility of it happening again may be slim, but what the heck. I have told this story to everyone and continue to do so. You, whoever you are should be immensely proud of your team of 37 years ago. Some would say it's bad for the company bottom line to make a product last this long, but they're wrong. Keep the bean counters away from production. Keep building the best. I will look for the name from here on.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Crap I've had this dryer for over 6 months and it's useless, it takes all day to dry and nothing ever ends up being dry. You put it on "extra dry" setting and it's still damp but it's been on for hours. I've never been so disappointed, Usually by the time a load is finished in the washing machine, the load in the dryer is also just about done. It's the worst money I've ever spent and I'll never buy another Simpson product after this. DO NOT BOTHER WITH THIS MACHINE. What a waste.
