Rules and what to check
Clothes dryers sold here must meet minimum energy performance standards and carry an energy label, so look for the star rating on the model you choose. The Consumer Guarantees Act applies even when there is no written warranty, and you can ask for a refund, repair or replacement. Consumer guidance gives clothes dryers a life expectancy of 10 to 11 years, and vented dryers are easy to repair while parts remain available. Some brands go further: AEG offers a 5-year unlimited parts and labour warranty on its products.
Season and when to buy
Summer runs from December to February and winter from June to August. A dryer matters most in winter, when wet weather makes line drying slow. If your current dryer is failing, buy before the cold months, and allow time for delivery and connection.
Delivery, connection and units
Capacity is given in kilograms and dimensions in centimetres, so compare the load in kg and check the width, depth and height in cm against your laundry space before you order. Vented and heat pump models are installed differently, so say which you want and whether an outside vent is available. Name your city (Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton or Tauranga) so that sellers can confirm delivery there, and ask whether the price includes delivery.
What to write in your request
Give the load capacity in kg, whether you want vented or heat pump drying, and the space you have in cm. Say whether new or used is acceptable, your budget in NZ$, and the features you need, such as a sensor drying setting or a specific energy rating. If you have a make in mind, such as Bosch or Haier, say so, or ask for suggestions.
Buying through BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. Describe the dryer in your own words in the chat, and add a photo if you have one. Sellers registered on the site receive the request and reply with their price, terms and delivery. Your contacts stay hidden until you decide to share them.
