great dryer all around. "USA built" comes with certain expectations and this dryer meets them overall. The Quality on the door could be a bit stronger and there really isn't a point in putting a glass front if it's going to be tinted so dark you can't see inside.
I have not figured out what settings to use to make things come out of this "dryer" dry. I had a Whirlpool before, and this one is no better than the old one was, but it had dried better when it was newer.
We purchased the new washer and dryer about a month ago. The water saver feature on the washer is great. The washer is quiet and I can do several different levels of clothes. The dryer has the sanitizer feature which I love.
This is a great product after I received one that works right. I think I was delivered a returned unit since the first one made a lot of noise when running but the second one is flawless. The dryer is fast. Also, with teenage girls who try things on then throw them on the floor and need them the next day, the steam feature is great. Much easier than wetting an wash cloth and throwing it in the old dryer.
The dryer works really well but i do not like the lint trap - it does not catch all the lent and it is very hard to vacuum out. The lent sticks to the top of the filter where you lift it out and is very difficult to clean
Like the dryer - it's very spacious. I paid extra to have the glass door - just as I had on my old Cabrio dryer. With it you could see the clothes as they tumbled (not that I don't have better things to do). But with the new Cabrio the tint on the door is too dark. You can't see a thing. Unless the dryer door is slightly opened and the light is on inside. Then I don't need to see thru the door, I can swing it open and see just fine. You don't realize this in the store...it's not until you get it home and run your first load that you realize someone stole the show - literally! I hate to say I'm disappointed that I can't see my clothes as they flop around, but I'm very disappointed! For the price I paid for this thing I ought to be able to see. Save your money and buy the model without the glass door. Just paint a black square on the door and you'll get the same result - and have some cash to boot. Nobody will know the difference...
I bought this dryer a couple weeks ago and I love it! It's really big and the clothes come out wrinkle free! I would recommend this dryer to anyone! You just can't go wrong!
