Note, talking one of the city employees I know who is helping with climate/electrification, beware the Whirlpool Front Load Hybrid Heat-Pump Dryer. Apparently quite a few issues with the design of the filter mechanism. TWO lint filters that have to be cleaned, ***and*** lint tends to also get clogged in some coils out the outlet (I believe some kind of waste heat recovery system). Cleaning the lint on the coils requires complete disassembly of the device (including removing the drum, etc.) ***OR** apparently people are hacksawing the seals on the dryers so there's easier access to the coils, so you can vacuum and clean all the lint out of them easier.
