After having to give up an old 'dead' whirlpool dryer we were concerned with the newer styles & how they would compare. We chose this style due to some of the features (moisture sensor, several drying levels) and we could not be happier! Dryer is efficient & quiet. We would recommend this style/manufacturer!
My dryer of 20 years just quit one day. I am a single mom, three girls in the house, and cannot be without a major appliance or my family just falls apart. I have a whirlpool washer and have been extremely pleased with the performance so I focused on buying a whirlpool dryer. I bought the dryer on line based on 1) it was a whirlpool, 2) cost-very economical, fit my budget, and 3) it received very good ratings from other consumers. The dryer was delivered in days and I have not looked back. I am 100% pleased with the dryer. I do need to read the instruction manual better as there is more automation than what I was used to with an 20 year old dryer, (times have changed) and this dryer often speaks to me in beeps which I don't understand. I need to learn dryer language. But I will, this dryer inspires me to learn the new automation language.
The top of the dryer slants and a laundry basket will slide off. The inside of the dryer is also poorly designed, the dryer sheet always gets caught where the lint filter is located. I now have to put the dryer sheet in a mesh bag so it will tumble about with the clothes. The Whirlpool dryer it replaced had a drying rack that you could use for items you did not want tumbled - I miss that rack! The sensor feature often lets the dryer stop while the clothes are still damp. The set-the-time drying does a good job of drying, which is what we bought the dryer to do. The door, which drops down, instead of opening to the side is wonderful for people like me who often drop things. I also like the see through door, there's something intriguing about seeing the clothes tumbling around as you walk by.
Been several months and haven't had a problem with the wonderful machine! This dryer has the settings I need to dry what I have ... It is great! Spend the money and buy something you will cherish, not repair!
I bought this Whirlpool so that it would match, fairly close, to my Maytag washer. I was told that these Maytags would be around for quite awhile. However when I was ready to buy my dryer, Maytag no longer carried this brand any longer. So I contacted Maytag and they told me that this dryer was a good match for my washer. Once I got the dryer, it was a shade or two darker than my washer but all the different features that it has I was simply amazed. I love it
