This is a LARGE heat pump dryer (most others in the price range of traditional dryers are in the 4.0 cu. ft. size).
  • Price is currently $500 off list
  • LG is temporarily offering an extra $200 off heat pump appliances in cart
  • Additional discounts may be available from your local electric company. PSE&G Long Island is offering a $50 rebate on this model, for instance.
LG Premium Care by Asurion is available for 2 years at purchase for $1, or 3 years for $25. Haul away is available for $25.

Background: I've been looking for a LARGE heat pump dryer with the ability to clean the condenser coils to replace a smaller Samsung heat pump dryer and got this great deal on an LG that I thought I'd share. It has a condenser cleaning system and cycle which is key with these heat pump dryers because lint inevitably gets into the coils, and since they're always damp, clothes can start to smell musty.

Apparently you can't change the door opening to the other side if that's something you were considering…
We had a heat pump dryer. When our son was 11 we loaded it up with clothes. Shortly after his high school graduation they were dry.
It extracts water from the clothes like a dehumidifier. It moves heat like a modern heat pump or AC instead of using a resistant coil to create heat and dry out your clothes.

It's a closed-circuit system where air is heated as it passes through the condenser, then that heated air absorbs the moisture from your clothes. It's then cooled as it goes through the evaporator and that water taken from your drying laundry goes into your drain or collection tank. Then the now-dry and cool air goes through the warm condenser again and the process repeats. Bosch has a great video on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-hDpODzIV0

It is $1099 before C B. Price kind of misleading. I also did not know that coils need regular cleaning, so thanks for this info.

So if I buy 10 of this, would it be enough to open a laundry mat?

You're correct. My apologies. I have edited the price and included extra available discounts in the description.

The coil situation is why I'm replacing my Samsung heat pump dryer. The Whirlpool models have another filter just before the coils that supposedly keeps the extra lint from getting in them, but I think a setup that actually washes the coils every load (like this LG) makes more sense. My Samsung only has the dual-lint filter in front of the drum that you clean every load. LOTS of fine lint gets past this and goes directly into the coils and once it's in there, the only way to get it out is to disassemble the dryer. Samsung's only suggestion is make sure you clean the lint off the front of the coils every 30 days. That's not sufficient. We have taken to opening the condenser coil panel at the bottom after every load to give it a chance to dry out, and I take a strong vacuum to the coils every few loads. Inside of a year all our clothes started smelling mildew-y and while our new cleaning regimen has mostly helped, it's right on the edge. Sometimes the clothes smell a little, sometimes they don't. Looking forward to a full-sized dryer again, and one that doesn't have this design flaw.

I am sold on the heat pump concept overall though. We do about three loads of laundry a week and have noticed a significant decrease in our electric bill even with the longer drying times.

I'm also getting $50 (EDIT: Looks like they recently reduced it to $50 - my last rebate last year for my Samsung dryer was $300 and I could have sworn I confirmed it again last month, but maybe I was on just the regular PSE&G site [pseg.com]) back from PSE&G on this dryer (which is in their 'most efficient' list), so that brings it down to $549 plus tax for me. Apologies for the "cash back" being a little misleading, but this is the kind of deal hack that I love to find, so I was hoping others might find it useful as well.

People typically expect washing machines to be at laundromats too

We have a Miele, no issues! So much cheaper to run over an element dryer.

No idea how you don't have to vent the dryer. How does this new system work?

I have one and like it a lot. I assume these are only when you can't add a vent. Granted, most you have to open periodically and clean out the lint. But it's not difficult with YouTube instructions. If you own one, and it's taking longer and longer to dry, do it today! 😊 It will be the most satisfying thing you'll do all week

Just don't buy cheap ones, I have a Miele and no issues. Probably already paid for itself in energy savings.
