I bought this about 2 months ago. I love it. It dries quickly and also senses when the clothes are dry and shuts off, saving energy. I have even been able to get my grandson to wash his own clothes. He loves it.
I have had this dryer one month and I love it. I purchased another brand one year ago and was very unhappy. I decided to go back with the Whirlpool dryer and so glad that I did. I will never buy another brand but Whirlpool ever again.
My old Whirlpool dryer gave out after 13 years and I had been very happy with it so I knew I wanted to shop the new Whirlpool selections when it was time to replace it. I was immediately drawn to how "handsome" this dryer is and I loved the fact that it sits a little taller than some of the other machines on display. That is very handy for me, as I am 5'9". Initially, I did not know how I would feel about a door that swung open to the side (my old model opened downward and I would use the platform to fold clothes) but I have adjusted quickly and it is not a big deal at all. Door is designed so that you can switch which side it opens on but my dealer scratched my machine in an attempt to switch it so make sure you get someone who knows what they are doing! **When I advised them of the scratches they did make it right.** Our old dryer was not equipped with a steam option but we were pleasantly surprised to learn that we could buy an adapter that allowed us to use the steam function without changing the existing plumbing in our home. The steam feature is one of my very favorites! Ironing is one of my least favorite chores and I have found that I can steam the wrinkles out of many of my clothes! I love all of the options on the dial - the sanitize feature, the bulky load feature, the wrinkle shield button! The lint filter is located within the machine and I am amazed at how much lint each load picks up - I am hoping that is just due to the fact that it is much more efficient than my old lint filter, which was on top of my machine. I LOVE the fact that I can easily dry our king comforter without having to run two cycles. My old dryer was not built for that. All in all, I am thrilled with this product and I will look to Whirlpool again when my 13 plus year old washer finally quits! My laundry room is located downstairs so I may not be the best judge of the sound level but it definitely does not bother me to stand in my wash room and fold clothes while dryer is running.
This thing dries my clothes faster than my washer can wash them. It doesn't dry on super high heat, which is nice. Clothes come out dry, unwrinkled and smelling fresh. Couldn't have purchased a better dryer!
