    Do these perform better than the non-heat-pump condensing dryers? I've used those before and found they take hours to dry properly, barely any drying power compared to a normal vented one.

    I can't make head nor tail of the energy consumption numbers on the listing. Does anyone know how this compares to a bog standard indesit vented dryer? (So basic that ours only cost £99 about 4 years ago)

    E.g. worst case scenario the vented one takes about 80 minutes to properly dry a full load, 1) do these heat pump condensing ones dry a full load in the same time? Or longer...or shorter? 2) what would the energy usage be in comparison to a typical vented one? (edited)

    I'm not sure if your question has been answered.

    Its all sums: a heat pump dryer will take circa 1/3 longer to dry a full load but at much reduced KWH. So, an example might be:
    Current drying time per week x KWh x Electricity Cost
    Vented: 6 hours x 4KWh x £0.30p = £7.20 per week = £375pa
    Pump: 8 hours x 2.2KWh x £0.30p = £5.28 per week = £275pa

    So for a typical 6 hour per week house you would save £100pa - return on investment on £400 machine is 4 years providing it doesnt blow up. Lots and lots of other factors like current condition/rising or falling cost of electricity - but all in all you should make your money back ina few years, even more so if your current machine is banjaxed.

    The standard measure is per cycle using a full load cotton and 60% residual moisture.

    Anyone with a decent washer with good spin efficiency will have residual moisture under 50% and really good one nearer 40%.

    The specification cycle times times will longer the real world times if you have a decent washer as will the energy use specification.

    Set up properly the HP will dry perfectly well.


    This machine has a specification full load cycle of 1.88kWh.
    (Quite high look for machines that get under 1.5kWh)

    A typical 8Kg non HP will be 4.7kWh

    That's a significant saving every load.


    We have ours in an attached garage that gets under 10c many days in cold winters and works fine.

    The annual use on the data sheets is for a mix of full loads and 1/2 loads ( 160 loads)

    The other important spec to look at is condensation efficiency look for high 80% and higher.

    Hello getmore4less. The condensation efficiency rating, does that mean how much condensation or moisture escapes into the room/cupboard instead of collecting into the water container/down the drain hose? (edited)

    If heat pumps don't work, why do these work?
    fishmaster's avatar
    Heat pump heating definitely works but for houses that are properly insulated and the correct maths has been done to work out the heat pump system required. Definitely not suitable for all houses.

    Bought the 9kg on offer last week for £430, then they called and said they made a mistake and it was the listing for the 8kg. And now it's £399

    Anyone know if you can plumb this to empty water via hose?
    Joel_Thomas4vH's avatar
    Most condensing types allow this option. My heat pump tumble dryer does.

    How does this offer/model compare to the Fdm309w that was on hukd about a month ago?

    I think I would rather get the one in Currys with a 5 year warranty if it’s a heat pump for £380 (edited)
    mambo92's avatar
    Which one is this please? I can’t see an LG one at currys for £380

    Check it does reverse tumble. My advice don't buy if it doesn't. Bed sheets become balls.....

    Mine reverses and duvet covers still roll up into little balls. Nature of the beast, I'm afraid.

    I bought a LG tumble dryer the wheels that turned the drum failed in less than two years LG wanted £159 to fix cost me £15 to buy the wheels and do myself

    You should've had 3, 5 or even 10 years warranty on some so something went wrong there...
