Love our new dryer

Our old gas dryer started smelling of gas, and we bought this to replace it.I love how quickly it dries, the arrays of settings, even the chime when it is done.The only drawback is that the top surface is not flat! It is gently curved so if you should pile up clothes or put detergent down, it can slide right off. Is this to discourage putting things down on it? Seems like poor design on an otherwise excellent dryer.
Runs quietly, not sure yet how happy I will be in the long r

I have not read "all" of the instructions yet but am not happy with how well it is drying clothing. Too often it leaves clothing slightly damp. Not sure if it is the machine or me not understanding how to use it. I do not want to spend a lot of time figuring it out. I want the machine to dry a normal load e.g. towels, sheets, jeans, t-shirts, sox, underwear; in a reasonable amount of time so that it can be folded and put away. It has not done that.
This is a good, basic dryer. I like that it has a 'sensor' to cut drying time if not needed, but sometimes it's not accurate; the items inside are still damp and I need to run it longer. Also, don't like how the top of the dryer is curved and not flat---I like to keep my empty laundry basket on top while doing laundry, but can't because it's sloped and falls down. Not a deal breaker, though, and eventually I want to get the matching Cabrio washer.
I bought another Whirlpool dryer because my previous Whirlpool dryer broke down after 40 years of faithful service. I believe in sticking with products that are dependable.
