Doesn't dry everything.

I have always had a Whirlpool dryer & was hoping this was really going to be an energy saving purchase. But with the " green" setting the load is never dry & even with the so-called " good" setting rather than best , I have to drape things around the house to dry. This occurs with any size load. I was hoping this dryer could sense size & dryness of load & adjust accordingly, but it does not.
We bought this dryer when our old dryer died. We are very happy with it. It has enough different settings that we can dry anything without worrying about ruining clothes. The door opens easily and is wide enough to load clothes easily. The dryer itself is tall enough so that we do not have to reach very far down to load and unload it.
I was a little leerie at first when I seen it doesn't fill to the top with water, but I quickly seen the little bit of water it uses still gets my clothes cleaner than my old one with a full tub of water, I really like that I don't use bleach in my whites anymore but my whites are white !! I love the special cycle for blankets..I went through and washed every blanket in the house the first week I had it....all I can say....I LOVE it !
This washer is unbelievable. I can complete in one load with this washer that took me four loads in my old washer. It has saved me so much time! I still can't believe it.
Bought this dryer to replace a 17+ year old dryer. Lots of great features, but there is a bit of a learning curve to get to know the unit and it's capabilities. We've also noticed that the preset drying times tend to be a bit optimistic - in many cases, additional time is required to adequately dry the clothes. And this is our first dryer with a steam capability...haven't used that much [yet], but it's function so far seems to be helpful, but certainly not a magic wrinkle eraser. But our initial impression is very favorable.
