Third-party reviews

What we like about Gorenje D 8666 N

  • 27 programs include wool, shirt and duvet settings.
  • Annual energy use is 177 kWh, with an A+++ rating.
  • Humidity sensors stop the cycle once the clothes are dry.
  • The heat pump needs no vent to the outside.
  • A gentle drying option suits delicate items.
  • A display and a delayed start make it easy to plan a load.

What we don't like about Gorenje D 8666 N

  • At 52 kg it is hard to move on your own.
  • The door is not transparent, so you cannot watch the clothes turn.
  • At 59.99 cm wide it needs a full 60 cm gap.
  • At 66 dB it is noticeably loud in a small room.

Verdict

With 27 programs, the Gorenje D 8666 N suits a household that wants a setting for every fabric. Its 8 kg drum takes a full load for two or three people. There are programs for wool, shirts and duvets, and a gentle drying option for delicate items. Its energy rating is A+++, and it uses 177 kWh per year. Humidity sensors stop the cycle once the clothes are dry, and the bidirectional drum movement helps shirts crease less. The display and interior light make it easy to check progress. The trade-offs are the weight and the door. At 52 kg it is hard to move, and the door is not transparent, so you cannot see the clothes turning. It suits a buyer who wants careful drying for mixed fabrics and does not mind a heavy machine.
