    Verdict

    Hisense DHQA902U includes a spacious 125-liter drum, a 9 kg capacity, and a sensor-based Auto Dry system that adjusts time and energy use efficiently. It supports 15 drying programs including Allergy Care, Baby Care, and Quick 30', while the Power Airflow system with five vents and high-density filters improves drying speed and lint removal. The reversible drum prevents tangling, and the FlexRack is useful for delicate items. On the downside, it lacks advanced smart features, gentle drying, a drum light, and comes with a short 2-year motor warranty. At 54 kg, it’s heavier than average.
