So far, so good (low temperature is low), but slanted top is

We got this relatively basic gas model (that is, no steam, etc.) about two weeks ago as a replacement for another brand that had served faithfully for 15 years until its gas valve started to malfunction. To this point, the Whirlpool Cabrio has worked as expected and the controls were easy to understand. The highlight has been the low temperature setting, which is actually low enough that we use it, which significantly cuts down on how much we have to line dry. The lowlight has been the slanted top. Items placed on it roll or slide off very easily, which is much more annoying than we would have anticipated had we realized that the dryer had this "feature,"
Who designed an angular top so you can't put anything on top of the dryer or else it slides off? Really??? Has anybody done an ergonomic study? People (women & men) often use the top of the dryer to fold clothes or place items such as boxes of dryer sheets. If you place anything on top of this dryer, it slides right off!!! Internally the dryer is functional for now... But I'm not holding my breath. My Cabrio washing machine routinely rips my king size bedsheets if they're not "perfectly" aligned like a donut around the interior. I am not a fan of Whirlpool products right now, especially the Cabrio series...
My machine broke down and due to its age, they were unable to obtain parts. Since I had such good luck with a Whirlpool, I decided to purchase another one and am pleased that I did.
