    The first number in the "Best rankings" table above indicates the product's rank among all products in our database, while the second number (in brackets) represents its rank among available products only. | The "average product" rating mentioned below reflects the median values calculated across all attributes for products within this category.

    Verdict

    Midea MDG09EH80 uses advanced heat pump technology and humidity sensors to ensure efficient drying while keeping energy consumption low at 1.9 kWh per full load. The 8 kg capacity, bidirectional drum motion, anti-crease function, and multiple programs like Bed Linen, Wool, and Sports add flexibility. It includes useful features such as delayed start, Pause & Add, and memory function. Despite its strengths, the dryer runs louder at 69 dB, lacks an inverter motor, has no self-cleaning filter or advanced drum design, and provides fewer than average drying programs and features.
