What brand is it? I want a heat pump dryer, but I don't like "smart" stuff.
GE Profile PFQ97HSPVDS. Not a sponsor, and not even a recommendation. It feels icky even admitting it. The only reason I am mentioning it at all is because I did manage to get it to (eventually) stop aggravating me about installing the app and connecting it to wifi and now it just works without annoyance as it should have from day one, and I recognize the possibility of having access to that feature alone may be valuable to someone. I can't guarantee the one you buy now will even act the same way, as these things can be and are updated without notice.
I found some third-party home assistant stuff for GE smart home products on github if that's important to you, but I haven't even tested it for this as it still involves the appliance phoning home and everything is still gatekept through GE's website and like I said I refuse to ever let this thing touch any form of internet connection or wireless.
Got it! I saw a Samsung one the other week, so that's why I was curious. I still want a heatpump dryer, just a better one that doesn't beg for clicks.
For maintainability heat pump dryers are shit though. You can't take the heat pump condenser out and thus you cannot properly clean it 😐. If you get lint stuck in there it starts reeking. The old condensers you could just take out and rinse.
