- 600W Bosch heat pump dryer. Been going for over 7 years. Was over £1k new... Bought for £275 with 1yr warranty as a customer return at John Lewis due to the length of time the cycle takes and user not changing settings to dry properly.

Setting changed to max on everything, takes over 4hrs to finish but doesn't shrink clothing and is used EVERY day.
Paid for itself several times over :mrgreen:

I think this was one of the first heat pump dryers.
Bosch WTH83000GB.

- House warmed by 6kW Panasonic A2A heat pump.
3kW FIT Solar
0.8kW balcony solar.
6kw Panasonic air to air heat pump for downstairs.
2 WBS. Stovax 8kw and 5kw Morso squirrel
Rointe D series in 2 bedrooms and bathroom.
Aiming to go fully electric...

I have been running a 12kW NIBE F1255 GSHP running from two 145m boreholes for 7 years. Dare I say, no issues yet. I've hooked up my own modbus interface to monitor real time figures. I haven't got reliable SCOP because during the transition from DHW to heating and back it rather throws out the numbers. The COP runs from 5.5 down to about 2.8 - 3.0 depending on wind around -6ºC

We use just over 6000kWh a year of electricity which has been less expensive than equivalent oil usage in cost throughout ownership. With oil we had a cold house. With the heat pump it's warm 24/7 with a slight setback at night. Running costs are low running cheap night leccy through batteries + solar panels.

The oil boiler it replaced was ridiculously oversized and it cycled on/off every 5 minutes in the coldest weather. It was set to run at a temperature well above condensing :shock:

The Miele tumble drier is also a heat pump and runs at about 0.5kWh per cycle which isn't too bad. It takes about 1hr30 to dry a full 8kg load. It was expensive but will pay back over its life time.

My BYD has a heat pump and it's crap compared to the 2017 leaf I had. It also relies on resistive heating which I don't believe the leaf did.

Sadly no ASHP here, but I do have a Samsung HP tumble dryer. Only takes about 400-500w of power input and superb performance.

The E-Niro has a heat pump too, but I have no real idea of the power rating.
10x 405W JA Solar panels (4.05kWp) @ 5 degrees
3x 405W Longi panels (1.22kWp) @ 90 degrees
16.5kWh DIY LifePo4 battery
Solis inverter/charger
0.6kW Ripple WT
64kWh Kia E-Niro
