Samsung DV53BB8900HDBespoke 7.8 cu. ft. Ultra Capacity Ventless Hybrid Heat Pump Dryer with AI Optimal Dry: Brushed Navy

We've had this dryer for about a month and have been thrilled with it. 1) It drys clothes very well. We've never had a load come out damp or need to be rerun. The sensors do their job and it just works. 2) It takes a little longer than our old gas dryer. ~90 minutes vs ~70. We usually run it in eco mode which uses just the heat pump with no extra electric heat. This takes about 2.5 hours and saves about 0.5 kWh per load. 3) It's really, really energy efficient. ~1.3 kWh per load in eco mode and ~1.8 in regular. We switched from gas and we easily expect the cost savings will pay for the difference in price for the heat pump model, even though we live in a cheap gas/expensive electricity state. If we had been replacing an electric dryer, I estimate the electricity savings alone would have covered the whole purchase price of this dryer in 5-6 years. 4) It's gentler on clothes as evidenced by how little lint it produces. Even with a double screen, extra fine lint filter, there's very little material after each load. The filter is modestly more work to clean than a standard single filter, in part because there's usually not enough lint for it to come off easily in a sheet. 5) Controls are easy to use and I like having the app to alert me when a cycle is done. You can also track energy usage in the app, which is nice if you like to nerd out about these things. I was nervous about getting a heat pump dryer after reading about some of the tradeoffs with older models. I'm happy to report that this unit delivers great performance and great efficiency without any real compromise.

I have had this dryer for a six months, it runs great, would buy it again.

This dryer is one of the few ventless dryers on the market today. There are several ventless dryers with smaller sizes but there are very few ventless big dryers for reasons I do not understand. The dryer uses less than half of the energy used by my old dryer.
