“For the Dryer, how much energy do you save on Energy Saver compared to Normal on the Dry Mode setting? Does it use 3/4 the amount of energy? 1/2 the amount of energy? Thanks!”

Thank you for your answer! It sounds a little like 30% is for the dryer in general, so if the 30% is for the energy saver, then wouldn't the normal setting STILL be better than a regular dryer, since it's recycling the hot air, so that the comparison between the normal and energy saver settings is more like a 15% or 20% difference?
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi, There! The LG WKE100HVA dryer has an Energy Saver dry mode that can save a significant amount of energy compared to the Normal dry mode. Our website states that the ENERGY STAR certified heat pump dryers, like the LG WKE100HVA, "use almost 30% less energy than a conventional clothes dryers." This suggests that the Energy Saver mode on the WKE100HVA uses around 30% less energy than the Normal mode. The heat pump dryers "work as a closed loop system by heating the air and using it to remove moisture from the clothes, then reusing that air it once the moisture is removed. Rather than releasing moist air through a dryer vent to the exterior of the home as a conventional dryer does, a heat pump dryer passes humid air in the dryer drum through a condenser to remove the moisture without losing too much heat." This more efficient drying process is what allows heat pump dryers to use around 30% less energy. ^James.
