Third-party reviews

What we like about LG RNX5009TWBB

  • The 62 dB noise level keeps it calm in living spaces.
  • A 9 kg drum takes a full load of family washing.
  • The motor carries a 10 year warranty.
  • Wi-Fi lets you start and check cycles from your phone.
  • The allergen program suits homes with allergy sufferers.
  • A self-cleaning filter means less cleaning by hand.

What we don't like about LG RNX5009TWBB

  • With 10 programs there is less choice for unusual fabrics.
  • The fast cycle takes 81 min, which is long for a quick top-up.
  • The ECO cycle takes 269 min.
  • At 53 kg it is hard to move once installed.

Verdict

Running at 62 dB, the LG RNX5009TWBB is a quiet dryer for a home where the machine sits close to the living room. It is a 9 kg heat pump with an inverter motor, a 10 year motor warranty and humidity sensors. The AI technology and the fast function are useful extras, and the self-cleaning filter cuts upkeep. Wi-Fi lets you start a cycle from your phone, and the allergen program suits homes with allergies. The trade-off is size and speed: the body is 60 cm wide and 66 cm deep, and the fast cycle takes 81 min. Its 269 min ECO cycle is long, and the 53 kg weight means it stays put. It suits a household that wants a quiet dryer with phone control and does not mind longer cycles.
