Miele 8kg EcoSpeed Heat Pump Tumble Dryer - White vs 9kg Heat Pump Tumble Dryer EcoSpeed and EcoDry - White — Comparison

TWA520WP is the Miele TWA520WP 8kg EcoSpeed Heat Pump Tumble Dryer in white, priced at £899, while TWD640WP is the Miele TWD640WP 9kg Heat Pump Tumble Dryer EcoSpeed and EcoDry in white at £1199. Both sit in Miele’s premium T1 heat pump tumble dryer range, but the TWA520WP is the more accessible EcoSpeed option, whereas the TWD640WP moves up the line with a larger drum and more advanced fabric-care technology.

The TWA520WP gives you an 8kg capacity, A+++ energy rating, 66dB noise level, Heat Pump design, EasyControl operation and FragranceDos for adding a fresh scent to laundry. The TWD640WP increases capacity to 9kg while keeping the same A+++ rating and 66dB noise level. It also adds DirectSensor controls, DryCare 40 for low-temperature drying of suitable 40°C washable fabrics, HygieneDry for extra hygienic drying, and Miele@home smart connectivity, features not listed on the TWA520WP.

The TWA520WP suits households that want Miele heat pump efficiency, dependable drying and fragrance options without stepping into the higher price bracket. Its 8kg drum is still generous for couples or small families, and the £300 saving is meaningful if smart control and hygiene cycles are not essential. The TWD640WP is better for larger households, frequent bedding loads or buyers who want more programme intelligence, app connectivity and fabric flexibility.

Bottom line: choose TWA520WP if you want a lower-cost Miele heat pump dryer with FragranceDos, 8kg capacity and A+++ efficiency / opt for TWD640WP if you need 9kg capacity, DirectSensor, DryCare 40, HygieneDry and Miele@home.
