Heat pump dryer. Do they get quieter?

Gunner567

We've just invested in a heat pump dryer to replace an ancient condenser dryer. Do they get quieter over time? The machine spinning is really quiet but the pump? It just constantly sounds like a really slow heart beat!

Ours is not that noisy till the drain pump kicks in.
Grundig.

Depends on the brand. Our AEG heat pump is no noisier than the previous Bosch condenser, but I wish I’d saved cash and bought another Bosch condenser. The heat pump drier takes at least twice as long to dry a load.

We have Miele ( in our home and cottages) they aren't quiet but they aren't noisy either...they DO take longer than normal drivers BUT they are MORE efficient. People can't get their heads around a tumble dryer being on for x time when they think it should be y time.

I don't have a problem with drying time just needs a bit of planning.

A washer with good(A) spin performance can help a lot.
