Third-party reviews

What we like about Electrolux EW7H39B

  • A full-load cycle uses 0.92 kWh, which is very little for 9 kg.
  • 61 dB keeps the noise down in a flat or open-plan kitchen.
  • The water recovery rating is class A.
  • Interior light lets you see the drum at a glance.
  • Allergen and hygiene programs suit households with allergies.
  • An inverter motor is fitted.

What we don't like about Electrolux EW7H39B

  • At 47.8 kg it is hard to shift once it is in place.
  • The door hinge is on the right, which may not suit every room layout.
  • At 85 cm high it is too tall for most under-counter spaces.
  • Energy class B means more yearly power use than an A-rated dryer.

Verdict

Quiet running at 61 dB is the main reason to look at the Electrolux EW7H39B, a 9 kg heat pump dryer. A full-load cycle uses 0.92 kWh, which is very little. The water recovery rating is class A, and the 118 L drum gives bedding and towels room to move. An inverter motor, a hygiene program and an allergen program suit a household with allergies. Interior light lets you check the drum at the end of a cycle, and the delayed start helps when you run it overnight. Wool, outdoor and bed linen programs cover most of the usual loads. The trade-off is weight: at 47.8 kg it is hard to shift, so pick its spot before delivery. It suits a quiet household that dries at night.
