Third-party reviews

Verdict

LG V5RT9N harnesses Dual Inverter heat pump technology with 9kg capacity, consuming 1.91 kWh per full load at 64 dB noise level. The dryer includes self-cleaning condenser, Eco Hybrid mode saving 24% time or 21% energy, and Allergy Care program eliminating 99.9% of dust mites with British Allergy Foundation certification. Wi-Fi connectivity enables voice control and smart diagnosis with 10-year motor warranty. However, it weighs 57kg making installation difficult, lacks laundry detection and bidirectional drum motion, misses shirt and refresh programs, and the ECO cycle takes 212 minutes.
