Had one in my house in the southern US and am about to put one in my house in the EU. I also recently bought a heat pump dryer, also great. Very gentle on clothes, doesn’t need a vent, or the high power plug - just a drain like a washer.

I'm planning on getting a heat pump dryer, but 3x the price (in Canada) means a long break-even.

Yikes. The LG one I bought in the EU was just a little more than a similar sized hot air LG one I had bought in the US a couple of years ago.
