LG V9 FDV909S 9Kg Heat Pump Tumble Dryer - Silver - A+++ Rated review non sponsored paid myself

[@MrTorrit]

Great review, ordered one today as my old tumbler has finally died. That was a clear and honest review, just what I wanted.

[@r.perzylo]

Excellent vlog Wizard Mum... hayfever in our family. Your cellphone did a great job capturing everything. Is the door closure able to close on both sides?

[@Thewizardmum]

Yes you can install both sides please check manual instructions on how todo this. Thank you for your comments.

[@lionheart9291]

Great Review 👍🏽 mine comes on 23bDec. Thank You for your time showing LG Dryer ..

[@KieranAG]

Got inspired by this review. Managed to order one while they had stock. Must be popular! And it's coming on Tuesday 12th of October! And I am well excited 😀

[@ShineyAds]

Just as an 'FYI' - the Smart Diagnosis feature is actually for diagnosing faults with the unit. It will play a series of tones to your phone and this acts like a code to tell your phone what the fault it. The WiFi feature is what links it to your app and enables you to download different cycles, etc. I have just ordered this dryer to go with my LG washing machine (I can highly recommend if your budget allows when replacing your washing machine) - if you get a WiFi-enabled LG washer then apparently the two machines will communicate and the tumble will automatically set to the correct program according to what you set the washing machine on - a little gimmicky but may save some people some time!

[@nodoubtaboutit]

I just got this a few days ago but honestly not a fan. It's very noisy and makes weird high pitched noises and buzzing sounds. It also doesn't weigh the washing? I have the matching washing machine which weighs the washing and gives me a time. This just is set times which I don't understand. If anyone could give me and advice on this it would be great.

[@6478nick]

I am sure it can discharge water to drain directly as an option.

[@Thewizardmum]

Thank you for you comment yes you can drain the water directly I was very desperate to use it and now I have to empty out all the time.

[@neilskinner6897]

When it self cleans the condenser unit , where does the cleaned stuff actually end up ? Other manufacturers have self cleaning (E.g. Bosch series 8) but periodically you have to open up a flap at the bottom to access the condenser and clean out the filter etc . My worry is it is being cleaned and just accumulating gunk somewhere ?

[@Thewizardmum]

Hello, Thank you for your comment the only thing I know is after every cycle I will clean the fluff that comes out where you open the door and make sure it’s free from dirt and if you don’t keep on top of that then this is possible that the gunk dirt and fluff does end up somewhere inside the condenser it very important to keep the lint tray clean and clean this after every cycle..this is purely my opinion if you would like please chat to a LG specialist as I do not want to put you off or say something incorrectly. Sorry for the inconvenience.

[@sloeginandsleep1170]

I can answer this chap as I have this one in Black Steel, all the excess crap that it pushes out of the heat exchanger/condenser is flushed through with water and puts it in the waste water container. You can tell when there the heat exchanger was really dirty as there is lumps of it in the water when I empty it. It works really well, I've had one for nearly 18 months now and we have two twin toddlers and a teenager, so we go through washing like no tomorrow 🤣

[@neilskinner6897]

@@sloeginandsleep1170 Many thanks for the reply - we have ours plumbed in to drain via the hose so it never goes into the container... I presume it is all going down this ! Have you found a way to run a low heat cycle? I asked LG and their response was clear as mud. The manual details the various clothing labels and respective necessary heat levels but their seems no way to modify this in the actual programs ... our old Siemens had a low heat button for those clothes which needed a little lower temp.

First time using a dryer and it is the same model. If you could share which drying level or drying type corresponds to low and high heat? Thank youuuu!

[@Thewizardmum]

Ok will do thanks for the suggestion :)

[@onebicycle3772]

Hi. How do you drain the excess water from the condenser? Is there a tube at the buttom back in your LG heat pump tumble dryer?

[@Thewizardmum]

Hello, Thank you for your comment, Yes you can directly excess the water by adding a hose pipe that comes with the dryer and that way you don’t need to use the drawer to empty the water each cycle. Hope this makes sense thanks

[@MHF_H]

compare this to a vented dryer, heat pump needs a longer time to dry clothes, Speed 30 ? like for 1 piece of shirt ? or half the load ? Maytag MDG28 still the best vented dryer for me

[@Thewizardmum]

Hello thank you for your comment yes half load for 30 mins with heat pump a+++ energy you can save lots of electricity just emptying water container that’s about it. Comes with 10 year grantee for dual motor. I am happy with my purchase best dryer for me I also have options for anti crease so I do not need to worry about ironing the clothes after,very efficient and decent machine. The best part of the machine is that it auto cleans 🧼 check their website www.lg.com/uk/tumble-dryers/lg-FDV909W they have a wide range of heat pump collections. Thank you.

[@MHF_H]

@@Thewizardmum if you don't believe, then watch this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIOVdWNrbs6tiqc . it's korean news about korean people got mad at LG dual inverter heat pump dryer,

[@StijnNLDutch]

@@MHF_H true, thats why in European dryers the condensator can be opened, like bosch or miele.

[@j0rzeh]

Bought the FDV1109 I'm not sure what the difference is between the two but I just had a baby 6 weeks ago and my dryer needs to be on alot and amiss of the price rise on electric I think it'll actually cost me less money than my old one to run by £1.50 a cycle..

[@j0rzeh]

@@mariettemayisa energy used for time it would seem, the top models use less energy and dry faster and better and have more programs, that’s what I found.

[@uhjk91]

Once the programme ends, can you manually set the machine to run for a bit longer, ie, 5, 10, 15, 23, etc. minutes?

[@Thewizardmum]

Hello, once the program is set you cannot change for longer programs or extend the period. The fastest cycle is 30 mins.

[@peterli5152]

Nice review we are going to order one from John Lewis. For the same machine at Curry's its more expensive!

[@Mark-sw5zi]

Never use tumble dryer sheets In sensor Dryer as can leave invisible layer coating Inside drum which then impedes machines ability to sense dryness .

[@pinkrose1764]

Hi I am new to using the dryer, and I do not know what programs are suitable for clothes, so can you tell me your experience in choosing the appropriate programs for cotton clothes, underwear, children’s clothes, outdoor clothes, delicate clothes and heavy clothes, and I want the drying time to be not too long so that the clothes do not perish

[@Thewizardmum]

Thank you for your comment all clothes that you have usually has a label inside of the material for example you can set your dryer to cotton mode. If your clothes are all cotton this usually takes around 2:29 hours Let’s say you have all wool items you have washed you can simply use the rack for drying process and make sure the programme is set to delicates. If you want your clothes to dry quick without perishing them you can set them to a quick programme however I would still check the labels as some materials require cool drying rather than warm. Sorry if this don’t make sense but always to be on the safe side I would just make sure to check all the labels before washing and drying as most of state how they should be dryed if using a dryer. Hope this helps.

[@Roguememester]

How is it hanging on 3 years later? Thinking of splashing out but would like it to last

[@Thewizardmum]

@@Roguememester Thank you for your comment. To be fair I did make a good use of it and had replaced it with exactly same one as their was problem with it drying and taking too long to dry. However the new one works fine. I think the old one was just a bad machine.

[@bitcornbuyer]

Hi there, may I know if the clothes come out with less crease compared to hanging clothes out to dry?

[@Thewizardmum]

Hey thanks for your comment. This is all purely my experience. 1. The amount of clothes will make creases. - when you hang your clothes out to dry they tend to be hard like cardboard you will not have the problem in the dryer however creases are likely to happen please read below to minimise. 2. To minimise creases always take them out when the machine stops and fold them neatly while warm helps reduce creases. 3.Download the LG zap for alerts to when the clothes are ready. 4. Do not leave the clothes in the dryer for a day or two this cause the clothes to smell of damp but they are not wet. I think it’s the moisture that trapped inside the dryer. 5. After every cycle open the dryer door for ventilation in between cycles and keep your rack dust free to maintain your dryer. Hope this helps and makes sense thanks 😊

[@bitcornbuyer]

@@Thewizardmum thank you so much for the speedy reply and helpful advice! Appreciate your comprehensive review video; wizard mum indeed 😊

[@babi7963]

Hi . Thanks for the review . Do we need to connect the drain. Or does it drain to the container ?

[@Thewizardmum]

Hello, Thank you for your comment, yes you can connect to a drain I was desperate to use it so I did not bother I just pour the water from the container every use but after using the dryer for a long time I recommend to connect to drain I need to get my husband to sort this out it’s a handful when you have small children. Just makes sense and life easier. Hope this all makes sense. Thank you 😊

[@MartinNyxel]

Hi, you can also connect this dryer directly to the waste pipe, (if you have waste pipe connection in the room whre the dryer is). I got this done with my older dryer and the water tray is no longer concern :)) ... How long you have this dryer now? I plan to buy this "newer model" to my new home @autmn and im a bit concernd about self cleaning effectivity...

[@Thewizardmum]

I brought this last year December so it’s been 7 months. I have not had any issues with self cleaning effectively as I wash the inlet every cycle with warm water and allow to dry. Yes you can connect this dryer directly to the waste pipe I have just been able to fit it in room moving the machines are a hassle for me. I was so desperate for a dryer so I just wanted to get on with it as I have little ones. Try speaking with LG specialist if you are very concerned with cleaning part of this machine. Hope this helps

[@eodcaninecorfinance7]

what option should I choose if I want to dry 7-8 kilos mixed clothes...I'm used to the older LG. thanks for your answer

[@Thewizardmum]

Hello when you mean mixed clothes do you mean mixed fabrics? Usually this is what needs to go in for mixed fabrics: Cotton: High heat for towels, jeans, sweats, and other heavy fabrics. Gentle: Low heat for delicate items like lingerie and workout clothes. Air dry: No heat - great for fluffing pillows or refreshing clothes. Hope this helps.

[@washdrytvbyhotpointlover2009]

Nice dryer

[@uhjk91]

Does it release moist air into the room?

[@Thewizardmum]

Hello the machine does not release moist air or make the room warm however it is advise to use a well ventilated room when you have a dryer if you are keeping indoors.

When washing bedsheets will it tangle into ball?

[@Thewizardmum]

Yes this happens you just need to put bedsheets in separately or all you have to do it set the timer longer and the bedsheets will not be a ball.

I have this exact same machine. Worst dryer iv ever owned. Had it just over 2 years and it's broken down 3 times now. I have replaced it now with a Hotpoint heatpump dryer and LG was only about 26 months old. Shocking

[@sloeginandsleep1170]

I think you've had a dud there matey. We've got the exact same one and it's on constantly, between 4 young kids, our work clothes and me doing my dad's washing (he's got dementia and can't do his own anymore) and it's not broken down once. The Indesit before, basically Hotpoint in a different frock, broke down repeatedly and was beyond repair after 3 years. Sometimes we just get unlucky it seems.

[@Thewizardmum]

Hello, Thank you for your comment. This dryer works exactly like a car coolant said one a engineer as I have had a few problems with dryer but my warranty was in place so they given me a new one. Call a engineer would cost you £150 if they can’t fix it they will replace it labour and parts included I would of stayed with them and saved money rather than buying £300 plus new dryer. I am Sorry this has happened. Also I would keep the dryer as clean as possible ie checking back if the dryer making sure it’s dust free. Thank you

[@prittypatel4961]

Hi how much does this cost to run, example if I use it for an hour ?

[@KieranAG]

Energy consumption per cycle - Full load: 1640W. Half load: 850W. Not as expensive to run as a condenser with a heater element. If you want an accurate cost to run you could contact your electric supplier or look at your tariff Standard Unit Rate. At least that is what i did :)

[@KieranAG]

I've actually received mine and it says up to 1000W.

[@prittypatel4961]

@@KieranAG Thank you

[@KieranAG]

I forgot to mention that when i received my unit it said a maximum of 1000W. Which is pretty good!

[@erikray3579]

just an fyi, it is dangerous stacking a dryer on a different washer. Especially one from another brand. Not only does this void the warranty but it also makes it easy to fall down, which could be very dangerous when that baby is a bit older.
