Samsung - BESPOKE 7.8 Cu. Ft. Stackable Smart Electric Dryer with Steam and Ventless Hybrid Heat Pump - Brushed Navy

I was on a path to removing gas appliances in my house, I knew a friend that needed a washer and dryer so I gave them my 14 year old set and set out to find the best electric option. My wife goes along with my plans to be more energy efficient and reduce emissions, but only if it doesn't mess with what she needs to do. This was one of the only standalone, full size heat pump dryers on the market I could find and based off a good review from someone online I decided to give it a try I've had it for 8 months now and while there have been a couple days where it did something weird like ended a cycle early, all the other times it works perfectly. I even changed it from the default "normal" setting to "eco" with a lower temperature and it will still dry a full load of laundry in 60-90 minutes (presuming the spin cycle on the washer got the majority of the water out). Usually closer to 60 minutes The lint trap is a little harder to clean than my old dryer but it has three layers of traps to keep the heat exchanger clean. There's a little door at the bottom you can use to clean the heat exchanger without tearing the machine apart which is a nice touch. I haven't really needed to clean it yet but its nice having the option. And the major thing is: my wife doesn't complain

i took a chance and went for it picked the heat pump dryer and matching washer because my 5yr old Samsung washer and dryer were working fine but when i started checking the energy usage i was like OMG just about 6kw per load +/- i had to do something but I've been researching heat pump dryers for weeks and yes all were energy efficient but took a really long time to dry ,,, then i find these Samsung Bespoke models they're a hybrid heat pump so there is a small 1200w heater in there as well but max load is only 14amps and i could not be happier, when i started the dryer it said it would be almost 2hours but was done barely over an hour perfectly dry and so quiet and the app notifies me when its done ..... so if energy efficiency is a concern Samsung nailed with this ... Flippin expensive even on sale with $1100 of both but i think it will pay for it self over time and i will probably order the pedestal's for them before build the cabinet over top

5 stars for dryer. Fantastic & VENTLESS. My dryer vented under the house and was to far away to the exterior wall, so I needed it. It takes a little getting used to because of the way it’s drained. I wish the BB guys who delivered it hooked up the water drainage hose to go into the drain but they didn’t, and I didn’t know it was an option until way after they left. So I’ll have to do it. Otherwise it’s like a regular dryer. Great drying options, it’s better than my old one. Took forever to get here. Kept getting delayed. So keep on them. No way to communicate to Samsung manufacturer's if the store or customer to wants to know if it’s actually coming or not, so have a plan B. - stars for Samsung’s lack of communication.
