LG Heat Pump Dryer - Way Better than I Expected - DLHC5502 Teardown & Review

Technology Connections would approve

I found an older GE heat pump dryer for $50. The couple said it was taking longer to dry and the clothes were still damp. They were going back to conventional dryer. I found a sock below the filter housing and I cleaned the dust and dirt off of the coils. I can dry a medium load in about an hour and fifteen minutes. When running it consumes about 760 watts.

THIS is how you review an appliance! Thanks for showing us "the goods" and your opinion. Excellent work.

Really appreciate your reviews and your candid kindness.

I just want to applaud you for all the effort required and the amount of detail you went to on not just this, but all of your videos. This is excellent work!

Happy to see more heat pump dryers coming to market. Thanks for the amazing videos and tear downs.

My old dryer died and I wanted to replace with a heat pump dryer so I purchased this unit a week ago. I knew it was new to the market and there were no reviews out yet, but being a week in so far, I have been pretty happy with it. as you stated, I've noticed the time estimate displayed on the screen tends to be slightly exaggerated and the clothes are dry generally before the time runs out. It has powered through loads of clothes, towels, sheets, blankets, and everything I've thrown at it so far with no issues. Clothes always come out super dry and warm and do not feel the slightest bit of "damp" or moist. The dryer is super quiet and the app connectivity is also nice. If you can stomach the price for the unit, and don't really want to go the two-in-one route, I would highly recommend this unit.

Found my way here researching various heat pump dryer options and this has to be the most thoughtful, insightful commentary I've seen. Excellent work, very much appreciated.

You are the Albert Einstein of appliances.

Still running our LG units bought over 10 years ago. Have been really impressed with their quality. If/when our current units fail this will be on my short list.

It’s so good to hear positive things about an LG dryer. We still have our very first dryer that we bought way back in 2005! It an LG Tromm with the auto sense feature. It’s still works very well, and we have twice had technician out to work on a washer and they were amazed. It is a gas unit, we are a family of 7, and I have only had to replace the igniter, the metal sensor piece, and a drum wheel. The drum does have a small indent from running too long with the bad wheel, and the belt definitely looks worn, but we have been beyond impressed with its longevity. My wife says that it’s not allowed to ever die. 😂

I just bought this and a matching washing machine based in no small part on your review. Thank you. So far I am impressed. If it proves to be reliable, I'm going to love it.

Man, thanks for digging into this. I love your content.

Wanted this dryer, but there's so little info out about it that I was on the fence. Thanks to this in-depth review, I'm all in!! Thanks for sharing!

I have been waiting weeks for this video, how exciting...and I am just a random person that enjoys your videos. Thanks for making appliances interesting.

The detailed review and tear-down is much appreciated!

I've been waiting so long!! I could not wait and already have mine and LOVE it!!

Thank you for the great video! I think I am sold on this one for the "clothes come out dry" alone!

I would be sooooo happy if you chapterized your videos! Thank you so much for doing these. I think you have the only reviews of value for ventless/heat pump dryers!

Thanks for sharing this Ben🥰
