Adequate but time consuming
Disappointed that the Westinghouse Vented Dryer does not fit the old Simpson Dryer Ventilation system airflow pipe to the outside. We now have to open all doors and windows.

It's a new dryer
Great dryer to replace "the old one". Dries dependably and no creases.

At a glance
The Westinghouse 5.5kg Vented Dryer is a compact, easy-to-use dryer for singles, couples and smaller households needing reliable everyday drying. Its strengths are Sensor Dry, reverse tumbling to reduce tangling, and wall-mount flexibility for tight spaces. The main limitation is its 5.5kg capacity, which is better for regular loads than bulky family-sized items.
What it’s great for
- Everyday Laundry Drying
- Small Household Loads
- Apartment Living
- Compact Laundry Setups
Where it works best
- Apartments
- Compact Laundries
- Small Homes
- Secondary Laundry Areas
Who it’s for
- Single Person
- Couple
- Small Household
- Apartment Dweller
Things to consider
Its 5.5kg capacity and 2 star energy rating make it more suited to smaller, regular loads than larger households wanting higher-efficiency or heat pump drying.
Apartment suitability
High - compact cabinet and wall-mount support suit smaller laundries and apartments.
Energy efficiency vs category
5/10 - 2 star energy rating is acceptable for a vented dryer, but below more efficient condenser and heat pump alternatives.
Quick drying performance
7/10 - vented drying is well suited to regular everyday loads, with Sensor Dry helping end cycles at the right point.
Noise level score
6/10 - typical for a vented dryer, with no specific low-noise claim provided.
Key benefits
- Sensor Dry: Monitors moisture and stops at the selected dryness level to help avoid over-drying.
- Reverse Tumbling Action: Alternating drum direction helps reduce tangling and bunching for more even drying.
- Wall Mount Option: Frees up floor space, making the dryer easier to place in compact laundries.
- Front or Rear Venting: Gives more installation flexibility depending on your laundry layout.
- Stainless Steel Drum: Provides a durable internal drum surface for regular everyday use.
- Large Door Opening: Makes loading and unloading everyday laundry easier.
- Front Lint Filter: Positioned for simple access to support routine cleaning.
- 2 Star Energy Rating: Uses an estimated 247kWh per year, giving clear running-cost expectations for a vented dryer.
Q: Does this vented dryer need a window, door or vented laundry?
A: Yes. WDV556N3WB is a vented dryer, so it expels warm, damp air during drying and suits a room with airflow or a venting path. It offers front or rear venting, but it is not the right pick for a sealed cupboard or enclosed space.
Q: Can the Westinghouse WDV556N3WB be mounted on a wall?
A: Yes. WDV556N3WB supports wall mounting and includes a wall mounting kit in its listed features, which can free up floor space in a compact laundry. Check the cabinet size first, as the dryer body is 795mm high, 600mm wide and 560mm deep.
Q: Is 5.5kg enough for sheets, towels and everyday washing?
A: Yes, for regular loads. A 5.5kg capacity suits singles, couples and smaller households drying shirts, towels and bed linen, but it is less suited to frequent bulky items or very large family loads that need more drum space.
Q: How does Sensor Dry change the way this dryer runs?
A: Sensor Dry monitors moisture and stops the cycle when the selected dryness level is reached, rather than always running to a fixed time.
Q: Will clothes come out tangled or badly creased in this dryer?
A: WDV556N3WB is designed to reduce tangling, using reverse tumbling action that alternates drum direction during drying. It also has auto cool down at the end of the cycle to help reduce creasing, though it will not replace ironing for shirts or dress wear.
Q: Is this dryer cheap to run compared with other dryer types?
A: No. WDV556N3WB has a 2 star energy rating, which is typical for a vented dryer rather than a higher-efficiency design. A higher-starred 5.5kg dryer generally uses less electricity, so this model makes more sense when size and simplicity matter most.
