Key Features
Heat Pump Technology — A+++
Heat pump dryers recirculate warm air rather than exhausting it, using up to 50% less energy than a vented dryer per cycle. Lower drying temperatures also mean less heat stress on fabrics - garments last longer and maintain their quality.
Miele Honeycomb Drum
Miele’s honeycomb drum surface creates a thin air cushion between the drum wall and the fabric. This reduces friction, prevents snagging and promotes more even air distribution - gentler on delicate items while still drying efficiently.
Stackable - No Vent Required
As a condensing heat pump dryer, no external vent pipe is needed - it can be installed anywhere with a power supply. Stacks onto a compatible Miele washer to save floor space in tight laundry rooms or back-of-house areas.
Stainless Steel Fascia
High-quality stainless steel front panel resists corrosion, marks and the wear of a busy commercial environment. A professional finish suited to front-of-house installations in hotels, salons and similar settings where appearance matters.
Plug-and-Play Setup
Supplied with a mains plug already fitted - no electrician required for installation. Plug in, position and start drying. For businesses that need to be operational quickly, the setup time is minimal.
Quiet at 67 dB(A)
At 67 dB(A), the PDR 1108 HP runs quietly enough for front-of-house or residential environments. Hotels, guesthouses and apartment blocks can install it without it becoming a noise nuisance to guests or neighbours.
Miele SmartBiz — Commercial Quality, Small Business Scale
The SmartBiz range is Miele’s answer to the gap between domestic machines and full industrial equipment. Small businesses running 1–3 loads per day need a machine that can handle that workload reliably for years - not a domestic dryer pushed beyond its design limits, and not an oversized industrial machine with unnecessary complexity and cost.
The PDR 1108 HP brings the core of Miele’s commercial engineering - honeycomb drum, stainless steel construction, heat pump efficiency - into a compact 596mm-wide unit that plugs into a standard socket and stacks with a compatible washer. The result is a machine that earns its keep through lower running costs and a longer service life than the alternatives in this size class.

Yes. It is designed for small businesses typically handling around 1–3 loads per day, where a domestic dryer may be pushed beyond its intended workload. Its 8kg capacity and 120-litre drum suit towels, uniforms, bedding and general laundry from small hotels, salons, cafés, cleaning services and apartment facilities.
The dryer is supplied with a fitted mains plug for plug-and-play electrical connection and does not require an external vent pipe. As a condensing heat pump model, it can be positioned where there is suitable space and a power supply. Allow for its 596 × 636 × 850mm dimensions and follow the installation guide for clearances and positioning.
Heat pump technology recirculates warm air rather than expelling it as a vented dryer does. This model is rated A+++ and can use up to 50% less energy per cycle than an electrically heated vented dryer. For businesses drying regularly, lower energy use can make a meaningful difference to ongoing laundry operating costs.
The Miele Honeycomb Drum creates a thin cushion of air between the drum surface and the load, helping to reduce friction and snagging. It also promotes even airflow through the laundry. This is particularly useful for businesses processing mixed fabrics, delicate items, workwear or guest linens that need effective drying with reduced fabric stress.
Yes. The unit can be installed freestanding or stacked with a compatible Miele washer, making it a practical choice for compact back-of-house laundry rooms. At 596mm wide, it has a standard appliance footprint, while the ventless heat pump design avoids the need to route external ducting through the building.
