About the Sharp 10kg
The KD-NHH0S7GW21 is a freestanding heat pump dryer in white with a black door. A heat pump dries at lower temperatures than a conventional dryer and recycles some of the heat, so it uses less electricity. Sharp's UK page lists it as a 10kg model with an A++ label, which comes from the older energy scale.
The drum is stainless steel, holds 120 litres and has an interior light. Sharp's manual lists 15 drying programmes, including Auto, Mix, Quick, Delicate/silk, Blanket, Blouse/shirt, Lingerie, Cotton and Synthetics, plus anti-crease and anti-allergy functions and three drying levels. Which? lists sensor drying, a remaining-time display, delayed start and a reversible door. The lint filter and water tank have indicator lights.
Water is collected in a tank, and the manual describes built-in condensate drainage with a drain pump. Which? says a hose is supplied. The machine is 596mm wide, 609mm deep and 845mm high, and weighs about 45kg. Which? does not list smartphone control. Sharp's own product page for this model is sparse, so most of the detail here comes from the manual.
What owners report about the Sharp 10kg
Owner feedback for this exact model is limited, and most of it is short and recent. Noise is the point owners mention most: several say it is quieter than the dryer it replaced, and one says it is quieter than they expected.
Drying speed gets mixed but mostly relaxed comments. Some owners say cycles run about as long as on their old condenser dryer, one finds it a little slower, and another says clothes finished before the estimated time. Owners also like the size of the drum, the appearance and the lower running costs.
No owner review describes a fault or a breakdown, but the reviews are too new to say how the machine holds up after a year or two.
Who the Sharp 10kg suits
It suits households that want a 10kg heat pump dryer without losing much floor space, and anyone upgrading from a noisy condenser dryer. The 61cm depth is shallow for this capacity, and owners find it quiet.
Look elsewhere if you want app control or a wool cycle: the Hoover H-Dry 350 HRE H9N2TBE-80 has both. For a cold garage or utility room, the Hotpoint C HD 94M WBS UK has a programme rated down to 0°C. Buyers who want a self-cleaning condenser on a 10kg drum should look at the LG Dual Dry FDV1110W. Its C drying performance class means the quickest cycles are not the aim here.

Other tumble dryer picks
The other badge winners in our tumble dryers ranking.
Every score here comes from our ranking model; no editor sets the order. We haven't read the review sites for this guide yet, so for now it is led by owners. It ranks products by how happy owners are, holding back any product few owners have rated until more agree. How many rated it and how new it is only settle close calls, and value for money earns its own badge rather than a higher place. We compared 17 models for this guide before settling on these ten.
Brands can't pay to be included or to move up. We last checked these picks in November 2026.
