Miele tumble dryers on this page are all freestanding heat pump condenser models in white, with 8 kg or 9 kg drums. They include T1 Chrome models. They suit households that want to dry indoors without a vent hose and don't mind paying more up front for a dryer that costs less to run.

A heat pump dryer doesn't vent warm, damp air out of the room. It recirculates the air, takes the moisture out with an evaporator, then reheats the air and sends it back through the drum. This uses far less energy than a conventional condenser dryer, but cycles take longer. Where the rating is listed it is A+++, and the standard cotton programme takes between 2 hours 50 minutes and just over 3 hours. You can also browse these as Miele heat pump tumble dryers or Miele freestanding tumble dryers.

Drum size is the first choice. An 8 kg drum handles a typical family wash, and 9 kg gives you more room for bedding, towels and bigger loads. Several models are internet connected, so you can check on a cycle from your phone, while at least one keeps to simple controls without an app. Listed noise levels are 64 to 66 dB, and models offer 10 or 12 drying programmes. Door finishes include white, graphite grey and chrome.

To narrow it down, pick 8 kg or 9 kg first, then decide whether app control matters to you. If you're replacing both laundry machines, the Miele washing and drying page shows the matching washers alongside these dryers.
