Third-party reviews

What we like about Sôlt SOLVTD7W

  • At 26 kg it is light enough to move on your own.
  • A 55 cm depth fits a shallow space.
  • The 82 cm height keeps it short for a utility room.
  • Selectable drying times let you set the run length.
  • 15 programs cover the everyday wash.

What we don't like about Sôlt SOLVTD7W

  • The 7 kg capacity means a family wash needs two loads.
  • The 60 cm width is standard, so it does not fit a gap narrower than that.
  • There is no humidity sensor, so a dry load and a damp one can take the same cycle.
  • There is no child lock, so small children can press the controls.
  • Energy efficiency class C uses more electricity than the top classes.

Verdict

At 26 kg it is light for a dryer, and the 55 cm depth lets the Sôlt SOLVTD7W fit a small flat without taking much floor space. It is a vented budget model with 15 programs and selectable drying times, so you choose how long each load runs. At 82 cm high it stays short enough for a utility room. The 7 kg load is small, though, so a family wash takes more than one cycle. There is no humidity sensor, child lock or Wi-Fi, so the timer does most of the work. Vented drying also means the hot air needs a hose to the outside. It suits a single person or a couple who want a slim dryer on a budget and can route a hose.
