This is the dryer you buy when you can't vent, not when you want the best dryer. The heat pump tech saves energy and spares your clothes from high heat, but you'll wait two to three hours per load instead of 45 minutes, and the 4.0 cubic foot drum means doing laundry becomes an all-day affair for a family. The filter and condenser need regular cleaning or performance tanks, and Bosch's thin service network turns a breakdown into a weeks-long ordeal. If venting is genuinely impossible and you live alone or with one other person, the trade makes sense. If you can run a duct, buy a conventional dryer and get your evenings back.
This 7.3-cubic-foot dryer handles king comforters and stops when clothes are actually dry, not when a timer says so, which is rarer than it should be. The sensor tech works well and the app control is genuinely useful if you run loads between errands, but LG dryers across the lineup share a pattern of thermistor and control board failures that can strike in the first year or two, turning a working machine into an expensive cold tumbler. If you need the capacity and features and can stomach a potential early repair bill, it delivers when it works; if you want a dryer you don't think about for a decade, look at simpler models with longer proven track records.
