Renewal Of Our Top Loader Washing Machine
Dryer is performing well . Existing wall mounting brackets accommodated the new dryer which made for an easy installation.

Great dryer
Very happy with this dryer. It's a great size and fits a good amount of wet washing into it. It also has a great airer setting to "fluff up" towels. I also like that you can over-ride the cycle and you don't have to wait for a certain amount of time before you can get your clothes out. (I have previously had my pants "stolen" by another branded dryer which was very stressful!)

Great find.
A+ Highly recommend. The dryer works wonders with the crazy weather we have been having. I do place my washing on line, even to get it half dried and then i put into dryer to do the rest. I dont need to leave in dryer for a long length of time so its great. Yes the dryer makes a little noise when running but nothing to worry about. Love Westinghouse products.

At a glance
The Westinghouse 6.5kg Vented Dryer is a practical mid-size option for households needing reliable everyday drying in a compact space. It suits families, couples and smaller homes, especially where wall mounting helps free up laundry floor area. Sensor Dry, reverse tumbling and fabric-specific programs add useful convenience. Its main limitation is the 2 star energy rating, so it is less efficient than premium heat pump alternatives.
What it’s great for
- Everyday Family Laundry
- Compact Laundry Setups
- Mixed Fabric Loads
- Wall-Mounted Installations
- Regular School And Work Wear
Where it works best
- Compact Laundries
- Family Homes
- Apartments With Suitable Venting
- Townhouses
- Secondary Laundry Spaces
Who it’s for
- Small Families
- Couples
- Busy Households
- Renters Wanting Simple Drying
- Homeowners Replacing An Older Vented Dryer
Things to consider
As a vented model with a 2 star energy rating, it is less energy-efficient and potentially less flexible in placement than premium heat pump or condenser dryers.
Apartment suitability
Suitable for apartments with appropriate venting and space for installation; wall mounting helps in tighter laundries.
Energy efficiency vs category
4/10 - modest for a dryer, with a 2 star energy rating and estimated annual energy consumption of 292kWh.
Quick drying performance
7/10 - vented dryers are generally practical for everyday drying, and this model adds sensor control and timed programs for flexible results.
Noise level score
6/10 - no specific noise figure is provided, so expect typical operational sound for a standard vented dryer.
Key benefits
- 6.5kg Capacity: Handles regular household loads of shirts, towels and school wear without stepping up to a larger dryer.
- Sensor Dry: Monitors moisture and stops when the selected dryness level is reached to help avoid over-drying.
- Reverse Tumbling Action: Alternates drum direction to reduce tangling and support more even drying.
- Wall-Mountable Design: Helps free up floor space in compact laundries.
- Multiple Drying Programs: Includes cotton, delicate, eco cotton, airing, mixed and timed options for different fabric needs.
- Flexible Dryness Settings: Extra dry, cupboard dry and iron dry settings let you match drying results to how clothes will be used or stored.
- Stainless Steel Drum: Supports long-term durability in a frequently used household appliance.
- 2 Star Energy Rating: Uses an estimated 292kWh per year, giving you a clear benchmark for running costs within the vented dryer category.
Q: Does this Westinghouse dryer need proper venting in an apartment laundry?
A: Yes. WDV656N3WB is a vented dryer, so it needs damp air to be directed out of the laundry rather than trapped in the room. It suits apartments only where suitable venting is available, because poor venting can leave the space humid and affect drying performance.
Q: Is this a good choice if running costs matter most?
A: WDV656N3WB has a 2 star energy rating and estimated annual energy consumption of 292kWh. Sensor drying helps avoid unnecessary run time, but buyers focused mainly on lower power use may prefer a higher-starred dryer in the same category.
Q: Is 6.5kg enough for towels, school wear and daily loads?
A: Yes. The 6.5kg drum suits regular household loads such as shirts, towels and school wear without stepping up to a larger dryer. It is a practical size for small to medium households, but larger bedding loads may need more space than this model offers.
Q: How does Sensor Dry help with everyday mixed laundry loads?
A: Sensor Dry monitors moisture and stops the cycle when the selected dryness level is reached. That helps avoid unnecessary running time on everyday loads, but fabric choice and load size still affect how evenly and quickly items dry.
Q: Will reverse tumbling help stop sheets and clothes bunching together?
A: Yes. Reverse tumbling changes the drum direction during the cycle, which helps reduce tangling and lets air move through the load more evenly. It can improve results on mixed items, but it will not turn a tightly packed load into a fast-drying one.
Q: Can this dryer handle delicate fabrics as well as cotton loads?
A: Yes. It includes separate programs for delicate, cotton, mixed and eco cotton loads, plus timed drying and airing. That gives more control than a single all-purpose cycle, but delicate items still need the right setting to avoid harsher drying than necessary.
