Heat pump or condenser dryer?

[FujiWisteria]

Which do you have, and would recommend? I hear the heat pump versions can take hours to dry washing?

I have a Bosch heat pump dryer, so much better than a condenser it’s also much more economical to run even when on quite long drying times, it does have a quick dry programme of 40mins no programme takes hours & clothes definitely come out much less creased love mine.

I have a samsung heat pump. Love it. It says it will take a while but is often much much quicker.

I replaced my old condenser dryer with an LG heat pump one. It's way better, maybe a little slower but it's also much gentler on the clothes so we can dry most things in it instead of having to separate out all the things that would have shrunk in the old one. Also it is more environmentally friendly and cheaper to run. I don't really care how long it takes to dry - it's not like I'm sitting there watching it spin (unless my toddler makes me).

Samsung Heat Pump. I replaced a condenser with it and no regrets.

Thank you everyone! Just so you know I went for the Bosch one, and it’s been brilliant! I read stories about it not performing well in a garage setting but so far, so good. Thanks all!

I live in NI and had my condenser tumble dryer in the garage. In NI we are no longer able to buy new condenser dryers and suppliers are only allowed to sell existing stock. I was told that a heat pump one wouldn't work in a cold garage, in anything less than 4°.
I managed to get a condenser dryer from a local supplier but Curry's refused to provide one. When I eventually get around to doing up my utility room and garage I'll move the TD to the Utility room and get a heat pump one.
