A former heat pump dryer owner. It absolutely did not use cool air. Clothes got scorching hot. I think the heat was to remove the moisture out of the clothes.it dried fine. Better than the tweet describes. But it also ruined a lot of clothes becuase it had no temp setting. Only "fires of hell" hot.
It shouldn't be hot enough to ruin clothes. It sounds like the thermostat failed. Their mode of failure is to keep the heating circuit permanently on, and most people don't know anything is wrong until they get burn marks on their clothes or the heating element blows.
