We replaced a 25 year old irreparable 5kg Simpson dryer, with this dryer. The LG drys as fast as the Simpson, without the moist air and energy use. It can be run off Solar, but you should confirm that it works with your particular Solar setup.I did a lot of research, and based on various comments on the internet I wasn't expecting much. It's been a pleasant surprise that the dryer has performed flawlessly and far exceed my expectations.A few things to be aware of:1. Heat pumps extract heat from the ambient air temperature. That's why they are so efficient. The manual says the optimum room temperature for the dryer is 23C. We have it in a room that sits at around 18C and it works really well.If you have it in a Garage or shed with a low ambient temperature, ... MoreWe replaced a 25 year old irreparable 5kg Simpson dryer, with this dryer.

We have it in a room that sits at around 18C and it works really well.If you have it in a Garage or shed with a low ambient temperature, and moist air, it will not work nearly as well.2. The manual gives maximum load weights for different fabrics. You can't put 8kg of cotton sheets in when the manual says half. See the manual on the LG site for the exact loading.3. The water container MUST be emptied after every dry. (And boy is there a lot of water extracted) LG supply a drainage pipe kit with the dryer for plumbing it into the Laundry.The dryer was installed on top of an LG Washing Machine, using the the SK Stacking Kit with extendable shelf. Extra but worth it.This dryer far exceeds our Simpson that could not run off Solar and filled the house with moisture.Very happy with the purchase, and Appliances Online delivery was excellent, as usual.

LG heat-pump dryer. I read lots of reviews before purchase. As an owner I now believe any negative reviews such as balled sheets, damp washing etc. must be user error. Make sure you read instructions, set the dryer up correctly, understand that your clothes may feel different coming out as it is using different technology compared to your old dryer (the clothes are in fact dry) and enjoy your machine. The positive reviews online are valid. Good machine, we wont look back.

The new dryer is fantastic. It fits neatly under our laundry bench top and runs without creating any condensation in the room. This is SO different from any other dryer weve owned. We live in central QLD and are approaching the wet season. So nice to be able to dry clothes without the dryer injecting condensation into the house- a big problem we had with the previous dryer. The humid air resulted in mold throughout the house, even when we dried clothes with doors and windows opened. Not any more. Its a whole new ball game. We bought bought the LG dryer as we already had an LG front loading washing machine. So they both match in the laundry and have very similar controls and operation. Both are great appliances and thanks to the Good Guys we got great deals on ... MoreThe new dryer is fantastic.
