Hello,
We have a 7kg washing machine. Looking at dryers, we can get a either 8 or 9kg heat pump dryer at same price.

Is there harm going for 9kg option when our washing machine is 7kg ?

    A larger drum may mean quicker drying, however compared to a condensing dryer which are much cheaper to buy, a heat pump dryer can take hours to dry a full load.

    The washing goes into your washing machine dry, so you get 7kg but it comes out wet so what went in as 7 will be as heavy as the spin allows it so I'd say 9 kg would be ok.

    We always load full 7kg into washing machine. Hence we confused 8 Vs 9kg
