Quick effective drying without big electricity use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Big investment for a dryer but now after 6mths of use I am sold. Most efficient in drying and electricity use, I am happy to recommend this to my family and friends.
Sits on top of our 10yo LG frontload washer (still going strong). It is very heavy and cannot be wall mounted, needs two strong people to lift. Plenty of functions and presets, electronic dash with touch settings, manual wheel to select cycle. Can be linked to wifi/mobile app to monitor, startup and stop remotely, and upload updated cycles. Had initial issue with app but found it to be a Samsung phone adblocking problem. Overall our weekly loads take around 1.5 hours each for two people (towels/clothes mixed). Sheets and blankets can be a problem and I've rarely had success as they roll up regardless of how loaded (1xqueen sheet or multi, semi dry or wet). I've defaulted to semi drying on the line and using the mixed fabric cycle which does a backwards spin every 5min or so. Electricity use is miserly, I'm totally won over by this fact alone. Being placed in a small laundry is perfect for this, the heatpump technology means it gives off very little external heat and no moisture/humidity.

works well for 3 years then broken down
I bought this dryer in 2020 July, it is oct 2023 now and the drum has broken. Photos showng the pinch mark of drum on my clothes, damaging it. Wouldnt recommend this product for it's unreliability.

LG Heat Pump dryer- best thing ever
This dryer is everything it is advertised to be. Super quiet. I find the clothing is dry if I let it 'settle' after cycle is complete (the user manual explains the issue of 'feeling damp' so if you just factor that in it's not a problem) and have had no problems at all. The time taken to dry is not unusual. I had worse drying with my previous brand of condenser dryer- it took forever and the clothing was never fully dry unless I set it to extra hot which ruined clothing. The LG is great for my washing/clothes, quiet , efficient and easy to run. So so happy with this purchase

LG Dryer DVH5-08W saved my sanity this winter!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This dryer LG DVH5-08W is user friendly and easy to use. It’s quiet and performs a great job at drying most types of fabrics without shrinking or ruining them. Sheets do ball up even when I use the anti-crease function, which rotates the opposite way intermittently. I like the smart features that it has, and the internal light. The capacity is nice and large, which is the reason why I bought this particular model.

Well this is the first time we have had a dryer like this & very impressed with it& how it works. No more condensation in the laundry which is good & we get to reuse the water as we are on tank water.

Fantastic
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] From day one, this machine has been fantastic and I can't rate it high enough. i had to replace my old Bosch heat pump dryer which was useless from day one, but of course I didn't know this until I bought the LG.
This machine will not disappoint you and although having a reverse tumble would be great, it really shouldn't detract you from buying this machine.

Creased sheets from
What happened to the Sheet drying
Start at the start - waited 1 month for the dryer to be delivered expectations were high
shouldn't have been worst example I have ever seen for drying sheets rolls them into a ball and doesn't dry them unless you stop it 1/2 way through and rotate them around even then at the end they are still not dry have to separate them and do them individually - have seen a dryer crease the crap out of my clothes like this 1 either
Only reason I still have it is because of the cost - however it wont see another winter at my houise will be long gone

A great choice
I researched for three days before buying this LG DVH5-08W heat pump dryer. I have to say I made a great choice indeed. LG heat pump technology gives you the option to either select a dryer setting to use less energy, or a setting to reduce drying time. I use sportswear and it leaves the clothes warm, dry and feeling good because of sensor drying technology. I like the look of the machine, it’s modern, sleek and LG provided the clothes sorter free. The machine is quiet and no external venting so the laundry stays dry. Yes I love my choice.

Fantastic Heat Pump Dryer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This dryer is amazing! The heat pump means no more moisture covering the walls and floor of the laundry. Very simple to use, and a massive capacity to handle all the sports washing. It also has a rack that can be used to dry wet shoes or delicate clothing. This dryer is way more efficient than my old dryer in terms of electricity usage, and it is much quieter than other dryers I have used in the past. I can definitely recommend the DVH5-08W to anyone looking to purchase a new dryer!

Disappointed
I bought in this april. it never dries off bed sheet, quilt cover and blanket properly ever if i put blanket for 6 hrs that is 2 cycles. For all small clothes have o put function of cotton dry, otherwise dont get dry. Takes very very long time to dry off. Atleast 3 hrs for 1 cycle and even then. Had same problem in on 1st time use. Seems like wasted money. Lint removal function is very good.

Sheet Problem
Doesn't dry sheet's - turns them into a ball inside the machine and come out wet after 2hrs' 30mins - have to pull them 1/2 way and reset the sheets even then lucky if they come out dry
Haven't had a dryer that creases my clothes as bad either
You can have all the AI you want but still needs to do simple things like dry sheets properly - fails at that

Best dryer ever!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A great heat pump dryer, especially suitable for our small laundry. Love the fact that we are alerted via phone app when the cycle has finished. Using the dryer is very easy and straightforward. The best dryer we have ever purchased.

Better than vented
Have had a vented dryer for decades and now love the new heat pump LG dryer! Its fairly quiet doesnt overheat the room, i can return collected water to my garden and it catches a lot of lint rather than shooting into the air to makea mess.

Very happy!
Had this appliance installed for two weeks. Have a family of 5 so plenty of washing to give it a run through. Absolutely love this machine! Need to play around with what settings suit what your drying but I would imagine that’s the same with any dryer. Queen flannel sheet set dried beautifully. Stopped it once to check how it was going, which is normal for any drier... love that it has a light function to see what happening inside. Towels come out super fluffy and soft.
It’s dramatically reduced my time spent doing the washing! I have never been so caught up with my laundry in 20 years! The only thing that I’m not happy with is the Smart ThinQ app will not connect so I can download programs but it’s not the end of the world . we have solar and this is perfect as I run during the day when using the solar is most effective. Super happy so far with this appliance.

Not good at all for sheets
Bought because it seemed to be highly rated but it only tumbles in one direction. This means sheets just constantly roll into a ball and don’t dry. Pointless. Even my cheap air drier used to stop and rotate in the opposite direction

Best dryer I’ve ever used! Only takes a short amount of time to dry, doesn’t heat up the laundry room at all. It’s good knowing the fact it is energy efficient so I don’t feel guilty using it all the time

Mediocre dryer, after sales service abysmal.
Have had the dryer just over 12 months and it is making a scraping sound like the drum is rubbing on the dryer casing. Have had nothing but trouble trying to register the dryer in the LG account and have been unable to get into it on PC. Only been able to register the dryer via the LGThinq app which is terrible.
Have tried lodging a request for repair but each time the app fails and I am unable to log in on a PC. Lodged a ticket via the LG app and was told I need to lodge a request for repair, which I have been unable to do. Have tried on multiple PC's and using different browsers.
We have used LG products for many years but their after sales service and apps are absolutely hopeless. It has been 3 weeks now and I am still exchanging emails with LG to try and get our dryer fixed. It just isn't good enough.

The thin q "logic" consistently re - sets the timer -YOUR CLOTHES ARE NEVER DRIED in the cycle - the thin q "logic" responds to temperature of hot DAMP/WET clothes - recognizes hot & "thinks" that your clothes are dry -THEY ARE NOT - IT IS A COMPREHENSIVE WASTE OF MONEY AND OBVIOUSLY NOT LIFE TESTED BEFORE PRODUCT RELEASE - AN ABYSMAL 'KEN JOKE

Love my new dryer!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My family has used LG dryers for years and this model does not disappoint. The new design is slick, the multiple drying options are amazing and being able to use the ThinQ app is incredible. I wasn't sure how well a heat pump dryer would work having used condenser dryers before, but it dries like a dream and the sensor is pretty accurate. Highly recommend this dryer!

Brilliant Dryer!
Absolutely brilliant! Takes about the same time to dry our clothes as our previous vented dryer and there is no need to leave the back door open anymore! Our laundry was always wet and the fluff used to reside on all our shelves meaning the laundry needed cleaning after use. With this heat pump dryer there is no mess and it uses very little power (749 compared to 2500 plus with the vented dryer.
