Third-party reviews

What we like about Gorenje D 85 F66

  • The A+++ class means 177 kWh a year.
  • Heat pump drying is the technology behind the low annual use.
  • The 8 kg drum suits a regular family load.
  • Temperature selection lets you set the drying heat.
  • A refresh program freshens clothes that have sat in a wardrobe.
  • An interior light lets you check the drum without opening the door.

What we don't like about Gorenje D 85 F66

  • At 52 kg it is a real effort to move.
  • At 65 dB it is audible in a quiet room.
  • There is no fast function for a quick load.
  • The door hinges on the right, which may not suit every room layout.

Verdict

Annual use of 177 kWh is the main reason to look at the Gorenje D 85 F66, a heat pump dryer for a household with a steady weekly wash. Its A+++ energy class suits people who run the machine often. The 8 kg drum suits a regular family load, and temperature selection lets you set the drying heat. A refresh program freshens clothes that have sat in a wardrobe. A delayed start lets you set the cycle for later in the day. At 65 dB it is not silent, but it is not disruptive in a utility room. The main downside is the weight. At 52 kg it is a real effort to move for cleaning or to carry up stairs. It suits a buyer who wants low electricity use and a plain machine.
