LG FDV309W Heat Pump Tumble Dryer - A++ Dual inverter WiFi Enabled 9kg £424.15 with code (UK Mainland) @ AO / eBay

If you missed out the deals on the almost identical FDC309W a few weeks ago, here is this one for an even better price.

I bought the FDC309W (though I bought direct from LG) and it is a great dryer. I cannot tell the difference between that and the FDV309W. They are both white with identical specifications. The FDC has a black door surround. The eBay image seems to show a grey surround, yet AO's own page shows it as having a black door surround. I cannot even tell the difference from the 709. 909 and 1109 get the A+++ heat pump but otherwise it is difficult to see the spec differences.

This seemed to tick all boxes for me:

• A++ rated heat pump, so inexpensive to run compared to regular condenser / vented. Maybe 10 to 15% more to run than A+++ but not worth paying hundreds more for that.
• 9kg
• WiFi, so my phone notifies my when the cycle is complete.
• It reverses, or at least I think so I'd the same as the FDC. Not on every cycle and only when it thinks it needs to. I'm yet to work out exactly when it does or doesn't but it did it with a bed linen load so it didn't come out in a ball.
• Drum light, so you can see the missing sock. You can even turn it on when running to see it all tumbling if you really want.
• Can use the water container or plumb in.
• The tunes it plays on start and stop can be turned off.

A negative is only 2 year warranty from LG. The other is that Anti Crease, which turns the drum every so often after the cycle has finished if you cannot empty straight away, must be turned on manually for each use.

The best price is from the AO eBay store using the KING15 code. They have a couple of refurbs that are at a higher price; don't click those. AO also have it on their own site for £479.

EDIT: I have posted a separate deal for the FDC309W from Reliant on eBay. That is £40 more than this.
I have since seen that there are slight program variations. This FDV has a cool air mode but no plain Cottons (but does have Cottons+). The FDC has the Cottons mode, which I have seen reversing, but not Cool Air. This FDV has a Favourite button, while the FDC has a Drum Care / Condenser Care button.
