Verdict
The Hisense DH5I104BWAB is a large 10 kg heat pump dryer with low energy use and a steam refresh, but it is not built to fit under a worktop.

Third-party reviews

What we like about Hisense DH5I104BWAB

  • A 10 kg drum takes most of a week's washing in one go.
  • 18 drying programs include baby, bed linen and wool settings.
  • It runs at 60 dB, so it stays quiet in a kitchen or open-plan room.
  • The heat pump uses 158 kWh a year.
  • A fast cycle finishes in 29 min.
  • The companion app sends a message when the load is ready.

What we don't like about Hisense DH5I104BWAB

  • At 57 kg it is heavy to move for cleaning.
  • At 64 cm deep it will not tuck under a worktop.
  • The water filter under the condensate tank is fiddly to reach.
  • Each full cycle uses 1.96 kWh, which adds up over a busy week.

Verdict

A busy family with a weekly pile of laundry will get the most from the Hisense DH5I104BWAB. Its 10 kg drum takes a large load in one go, and the 18 programs include baby, bed linen and wool settings. It runs quietly at 60 dB, which suits a kitchen or open-plan flat. A fast cycle finishes in 29 min. The companion app tells you when the load is ready. The downsides are size and weight. At 64 cm deep and 57 kg it is hard to move, and it will not tuck under a worktop. It also has an allergen program, an interior light and a delayed start, so the cycle can finish at the right time. It suits a family that dries big, mixed loads and wants quiet running.
