In the market for a new clothes dryer? Whether you plan to lean on it every washday, or save it for a rainy day, there’s no doubt these laundry legends are getting smarter and more efficient all the time.
But that doesn’t mean you need to spend big to snag the latest time- and money-saving features. Not with The Good Guys in your corner! From energy-efficient heat pump dryers to speedy vented appliances with sensor tech to cut your running costs, we’re here to help you find the best value clothes dryers to buy in 2024.
You bet! “Buying a budget dryer these days gives you access to some brilliant functions and up-to-the-minute features to help protect your bottom line – and the planet!” says Peter Simic, The Good Guys Buyer – Laundry. “There are terrific low-price dryers out there to suit any laundry or lifestyle. It’s just a matter of doing your research before you buy – and that’s where we come in!”
Vented dryers are speedy and affordable, and ideal for cost-conscious buyers. Just keep in mind that they do use more energy so are best suited to smaller households and the occasional user.
Leading brands such as Haier, Westinghouse, Electrolux and Fisher & Paykel offer low-price and mid-range vented dryer bargains with top flight features. “Look out for anti-crease cycles that cut down on ironing, wall mounting kits to optimise your laundry layout, and sensor dry tech that calculates the precise time your garments need to dry so you’re not burning unnecessary electricity or damaging your favourite outfits by overheating them,” says Peter Simic.

If you’re a frequent dryer user and don’t have a well-ventilated laundry, you may have decided that a condenser dryer is your best bet. They are cheaper to run and convert moisture from your wet clothes back into water (which is drained) instead of steam. This means your laundry won’t get clammy or mouldy. Well-respected appliance brands such as Haier and Fisher & Paykel can set you up with a great value condenser dryer with many of the same smart features you’d expect in a next-gen dryer, without the upfront costs.
“We’re talking about sensor dry technology and time delay so you can schedule a cycle when energy prices are lower,” says Peter Simic. “You’ll also get multiple drying programs that deliver optimum results for everything from your precious delicates to hardy denims.”
Gone are the days when you had to raid the kids’ uni fund to enjoy the enormous energy-saving perks of a heat pump dryer. Trusted brands such as Solt, Hisense and Westinghouse now do quality, budget-friendly makes of these breakout laundry stars that work by recycling the air used during the drying process in a super-efficient closed-loop system.
For much less than you’d expect to pay, you’ll find heat pump dryers with impressive 8-star energy efficiency scores (hello, lower power bills), 30-minute express cycles for life on the run, and specialist programs to remove allergens from your clothes or refresh your favourite frocks between washes.
Mid-range options from the likes of Haier will get you wi-fi connectivity for remote control over your dryer via a compatible smartphone, and Hybrid Boost technology so you can choose between saving time or saving energy.
Solt 8kg Heat Pump Dryer
Hisense 9kg Heat Pump Dryer
