Dual Inverter Heat Pump

LG's Dual Inverter Heat Pump technology continuously adjusts the performance of your dryer to match the load in the drum. Unlike a condenser tumble dryer, a heat pump model dries your laundry at a lower temperature. This reduces energy consumption while helping to protect your clothes. It also reduces vibrations and noise during the drying cycle.

Benefits:

  • Uses less energy by adjusting its performance to the size of the load.
  • Dries your laundry faster.
  • Reduces vibrations and noise during the drying cycle.

Auto Cleaning Condenser

LG tumble dryers with Auto Cleaning Condenser automatically rinse the condenser, which removes moisture from your laundry, using the water collected during the drying cycle. This happens with every drying programme, preventing fluff and dust from building up and helping your tumble dryer perform efficiently for longer.

Benefits:

  • Automatically keeps the condenser clean during every drying cycle.
  • Helps prevent lint and dust from building up.
