Many dryers in our tests achieve a good overall rating. But time and again we come across models that do not pass important tests satisfactorily. Some take significantly longer than the competition, others do not dry with pinpoint accuracy in the cupboard or with ironing moisture, or do not reliably display the remaining time. The test reveals which models are worth the money - and which are not.

Product details
Dual Inverter Heat Pump Technology
The Dual Inverter heat pump dryer features two smaller cylinders instead of one large one. This allows for more refrigerant to be compressed in the same amount of time, positively impacting the dryer’s efficiency. Additionally, with Dual Inverter technology, it is possible to save either time or energy. Instead of using a heating element to dry the laundry, the refrigerant is utilized, which has the advantage of allowing drying at lower temperatures.
Automatically Self-Cleaning Condenser
The heat pump dryer is equipped with an automatically self-cleaning condenser that is cleaned with water one to three times per cycle. This means that the condenser no longer needs to be cleaned manually, reducing the risk of injury (such as cuts from sharp edges).
Sensor Dry
Sensor Dry optimizes drying performance. The sensors detect the moisture in the clothing and automatically adjust the drying time.
Smart ThinQ®: Connected Future Built-In
With the LG Smart ThinQ® app, users can start, stop, and check the current status of the dryer remotely. New programs can be downloaded to the device via Wi-Fi. Additionally, minor issues can be resolved quickly through the Smart Diagnosis® self-diagnosis feature.
Smart Pairing: Communication Between Washer and Dryer
The dryer receives information about washing programs from your LG washing machine via Wi-Fi and automatically sets an appropriate drying cycle. This ensures that your textiles are well cared for.
