This should be a much better performance than it is.

My sheets still come out like a twisted rope and my jeans are twisted in the legs. This is not like my old Whirlpool and definitely was not what I expected from this new machine. EASY to clean the lint filter.
I bought this dryer as a set with the washer. The dryer originally comes with the door hinge on the right side. You may want to consider arranging your setup so that the washer is on the left if you are going to leave this door configuration. Otherwise, you'll need to move the door hinge to the other side. I have not tried this but I'm sure if you have this installed or delivered, they can do that for you.There are various settings depending on what you're drying. I have a tendency to pretty much use the same setting all the time.Due to the electronic control panel, it takes longer to get your load started. The simpler dryers with push/pull/twist controls can get you going faster but I think it's only a matter of a few seconds difference.My basement floor is very uneven so I had to fiddle with the leveling legs quite a bit to get it straightened out. The legs are some sort composite material. My fiddling caused one of the legs to crack so I need to replace mine. I don't think it's made from very strong materials such as ULTEM 2300 or something so you should be careful when leveling.The sensor function adjusts the time to suite the weight and dryness settings. A lot of the efficiency loss will be due to how you exhaust your dyer. Lot of bends and leaks will create problems so you should definitely have that looked into if you're going to do it yourself.Overall, I'm please with the performance of this dyer.
The clothes dry with wrinkles. This is a much higher priced dryer than the previous whirlpool dryer we have (we purchased a matching washer & dryer) but th clothes do not come out as wrinkle free as the previous unit. The dyer is very quiet and we are waiting to see if it is more cost effective.The washer which uses less water also makes the clothes more prone to wrinkles which may be why the dryer does not remove them as we'll as expected.
I purchased this dryer because I trust the Whirlpool name. All of my kitchen appliances are Whirlpool and I have been very satisfied with them. I love the large size of this dryer and how easy it is to use. The dryer is very quiet and offers great energy savings. Thanks Whirlpool for making my family so happy with your wonderful appliances!
My wife and I purchased the washer after moving to our new house and have been 100% satisfied with the performance and efficienty of the product since bringing it home. It's feature rich, was cost effective at our price point, and has performed better than advertised for washing clothes. We actually bought the matching dryer just a few months later.
