Third-party reviews

What we like about LG RNX59TLBAI

  • At 62 dB it is quiet enough to run in the evening.
  • A full load uses 1.43 kWh thanks to the heat pump.
  • A partial load uses only 0.76 kWh.
  • The 122 L drum takes big loads in one go.
  • The self-cleaning filter and condenser cut down on upkeep.
  • The motor carries a 10 year warranty.

What we don't like about LG RNX59TLBAI

  • At 53 kg it is hard to move on your own.
  • At 66 cm deep it needs a roomy spot.
  • The ECO cycle takes 269 min, so a load can run most of an afternoon.
  • There are 10 drying programs, which leaves fewer choices for special fabrics.
  • There is no refresh program for freshening clothes without a wash.

Verdict

Low noise and low power use mark out the LG RNX59TLBAI, a 9 kg heat pump dryer. At 62 dB it can run in the evening without bothering anyone nearby. A full load uses 1.43 kWh and a partial load only 0.76 kWh, so it keeps the power draw low. The 122 L drum takes big loads in one go, and the self-cleaning filter and condenser mean less upkeep. A drying rack comes in the box for items you would rather air dry. The trade-off is size and weight: at 53 kg and 66 cm deep, it needs a proper space, and its ECO cycle runs 269 min. It suits a household that does a lot of laundry and wants a quiet, low-upkeep dryer that can run overnight without fuss.
