Anyone have the electricity consumption of their heat pump dryer? Really impressed with my LG that’s been averaging around 750Wh a load.

Just installed a LG DLHC1455W heat pump dryer and have been beyond impressed with its electricity consumption. I have an Emporia electricity monitor connected and have been averaging around 750 (Wh) a load. Anyone have any electricity consumption of their heat pump dryer?

I have one of the GE Ultrafast Combos. I don't want to take the time to calculate the usage per load, but I do know that in the 2 months I've had it, it's monthly energy usage is approximately 40% of the energy usage of my previous washer + 240v electric dryer.
Absolutely love it!
I have a Miele that does 760W a load. Not appreciably better than the Bosch resistance dryer I had before but probably better than most other dyers by comparison.
It's been a year but, i recently installed an LG heat pump dryer too, and I've been pleasantly surprised by its efficiency. I've noticed a significant decrease in my energy bills since switching to this dryer.
Your average consumption of around 750Wh per load is impressive! It's great to see that modern appliances are becoming more energy-efficient. I'm now curious to monitor my own usage and see how it compares.
