This dryer is so efficient---seems to dry in half the time as our old dryer. Also love the wrinkle guard feature when I can't fold the laundry right away.
I was a first-time buyer of Whirlpool appliances. Glad I made that decision. My new Whirlpool Cabrio Platinum Dryer is great. The large load capacity and eco-friendly features save me money. The Touch-up Steam Cycle is perfect for tumbling out wrinkles.
Using this dryer on its default Normal setting with clothes that were washed using the Normal setting takes a significant amount of time--more than an hour in many cases. And even after completing the cycle, frequently items come out more damp than we'd like. It is possible for two washer loads to be complete before one dryer load has finished in our house, so wet clothes must wait to be dried. We've played around with modifying the settings, but sometimes you can't increase the dryness level depending on the cycle setting. We will probably start to choose manual settings until we find a setting that works more quickly and consistently.On several occasions, the Check Vent light has come on. I'm not quite sure why, as we empty the lint screen after each load and the vent hose is practically new. Most often, the light does not come on again once the next load has started and I haven't done anything except clean the lint screen. Kind of like the boy who cried wolf...Overall, it's a nice looking machine but we're a bit disappointed with the performance using the preset options.
This dryer goes with our Cabrio washer now. The dryer has a big opening to make it easy to load and unload. It also does occasional touch up after the load is dry to prevent wrinkling in case you can't unload right away. We love these machines.
