Hate this dryer

I bought a Whirlpool Cabrio Dryer about 6 months ago. I HATE it. I just wanted a machine that would dry my clothes, but the Whirlpool Cabrio Dryer can't even do that basic function properly. 1)The Automatic Cycle 'Dryness Level' feature requires an overly full load to "accurately" determine the humidity, regardless of the Est. Time Remaining (i.e., drying time) that the Cabrio displays. 2)I must choose Timed Dry if I want to be assured that the clothes are completely dry. 3)I have to push the 'Est. Time Remaining' button for each minute of the 'Timed Dry.' For example, to select a 'Timed Dry' of 20 minutes, I have to push the 'Est. Time Remaining' button 20 times. 4)I have followed the online FAQ instructions to reset the Dryness level to no avail. 5)The 'Wrinkle Shield' cycle does not cool Permanent Press loads adequately, resulting in wrinkles, even for Wrinkle-free cloth. 6)The top of the dryer is sloped so that, with normal laundry vibration, anything placed on the dryer ends up on the floor. 7)The Whirlpool Cabrio Dryer 'Cycle Signal' (the buzzer) is a series of 4 tones that cannot be heard above other, normal household noises. 8)To reset the dryer, one must turn the dryer off and then on again. 9)The Whirlpool Cabrio Dryer plays sounds/tones for every movement of the dial or push of a button. 10)This dryer is taller than my washing machine and wider than my old dryer. 11)Each load of delicate clothing or Permanent Press must be carefully monitored (see reasons 1-8), and it takes at least 3 cycles to dry them properly.In summary, the Whirlpool Cabrio Dryer has been a utter waste of money and is for me an irritating, time-wasting machine. I do not recommend this product.
We are very happy with this purchase. It is very quiet and easy to use. I do with the top was flat and not slanted. We do put things on the top and now they can slide off due to the design.
I've had the Cabrio Washer and Dryer for several months. The Dryer is awesome. Still getting comfortable with the washer. Not so sure about the low level water thing.
I purchased the dryer a month ago after my whirlpool of 15 years quit. I went right back and got another whirpool . Love it gets hot quick love that the lent catcher is on the bottom also love the features are easy to use I just wish I had the matching washer
Excellent features and easy to use. The one and only drawback is the design of the dryer top. The top is sloped toward the front and if you place any clothes on the dryer top they will slide off.
