This big-drum electric dryer handles king-size bedding and delivers genuinely useful steam dewrinkle cycles, plus AI moisture sensing that actually stops when clothes are dry instead of guessing. LG dryers split into two camps: units that run quietly for a decade and units that lose their control boards to moisture intrusion or burn through thermostats within three years, leaving you waiting weeks for warranty parts while laundry piles up. Buy it if you're religious about cleaning the multiple lint traps and can handle a potential mid-life repair; skip it if you need appliances that forgive neglect or can't afford downtime when the heating element quits.
Miele's heat pump dryers once defined longevity, T1 owners routinely saw 15 years of quiet, 120V plug-and-play service, but the warranty collapse from ten years to two tells you everything about where the engineering went. Recent buyers report F47 and F99 error codes within months, and Miele support has turned glacial when owners need help. The three-hour cycle is heat pump physics, not a flaw, but you're paying £1200, 2500 for a machine the manufacturer itself only trusts for 24 months. Hunt down a used T1 if you find one; otherwise, Bosch delivers five-year coverage at half the cost.
