Third-party reviews

What we like about Gorenje D8450N SensoCare

  • The A++ energy class keeps energy use down.
  • The 120 L drum has room for bulky items.
  • The delayed start can be set up to 24 h ahead.
  • An IonTech air ionizer is built in.
  • Buttons and a rotary dial keep the controls simple.
  • Heat pump drying is built in.

What we don't like about Gorenje D8450N SensoCare

  • At 52 kg it is heavy to move on your own.
  • At 8 kg a large family may need two loads to get through the week.
  • It is freestanding, so it cannot be tucked under a worktop.
  • The delayed start tops out at 24 h, so it cannot wait longer than a day.

Verdict

Eight kilos and a 120 L drum make the Gorenje D8450N SensoCare a sensible pick for a household that dries full loads. It is a freestanding heat pump dryer with an A++ energy rating, so energy use stays down for a machine of this size. An IonTech air ionizer is built in, and the delayed start can be set up to 24 h ahead, which helps when a load should finish overnight. The controls are simple buttons and a rotary dial, and the front-loading door is easy to reach. The trade-off is weight. At 52 kg it is heavy to shift, so it is best placed once and left there. It suits a buyer who wants a heat pump dryer with a long delayed start and plans to keep it in one spot.
