I’ve made no secret in the past that I’m not a fan of the Miele T1 Heatpump dryers, even with extra dry enabled, stuff still can feel that is really damp even after attempting to flash dry. Not to mention how long they now take in the name of efficiency.
I love the first and second generation Miele heatpump dryers, stuff comes out bone dry like a traditional dryer, they only take 60-90 minutes for a full load and they don’t have the annoying Ticking sound that Miele seemed to engineer into the T1 units.
I’ve been running a T8000 and a T8001 at home for the last 2 years and a T8929 at my Mother in laws. These are the pinnacle of heat pump drying, where it was about being the best machine they could possibly be, whilst having a balance between performance and efficiency.
On Marketplace a T8929 recently came up for sale, BNIB, with the usual description of only 5 years old and I know what I’ve got. Ignoring that it’s more like 15 years old, I went ahead and bought it and today it arrived.
Leon came over and we unwrapped it, on the inside, it still has new car smell and its in beautiful condition. My T8001 had been used hard, so it’ll go into storage for future spare parts, but I’m thrilled to have a brand new one that should hopefully get me a good 10-15 years of use. It’s done a small load of the rags used to clean it, but tomorrow it’ll have its first load of wash to dry.
