Choosing Between Lg and Aeg Tumble Dryer
There’s little reason to recommend the Lg over the Aeg, as the differences between the DUAL Dry and the 7000 SensiDry are relatively modest. Choosing between the two often comes down to personal preferences, such as noise, styling, load size, and unique features.
That said, we currently recommend the Hisense 3 Series heat pump tumble dryer over both the LG DUAL Dry and the AEG 7000 SensiDry, as it offers a more compelling balance of performance, features, user-feedback, and value.
