We purchased this gas dryer about a month ago. So far, it works beautifully. The variety of settings and sensors is perfect, and I am sure will save energy over time. The only downside is the rounded top. I imagine that was intended to create a sleek appearance, but it isn't a very practical surface on which to place dryer sheets, folded laundry, etc.. Not a real problem, but a little inconvenient. Overall, we are very happy with this purchase.
I had a standard "run of the mill" dryer which ran out of it's own life. I did a lot of research, pricing and "bang for the buck." I picked the Cabrio 7.4 HE Dryer with Sanitize Cycle because I am able to literally, personalize, the drying cycle based upon what I need. Heavy duty towels? No problem. Gentle for my dress clothes? No problem. I pick the cycle, the heat, the length of time I want it done and POOF - it's done. I also like the fact that I can see through the door and, having had a side open door in the past, love the top down door where I'm able to separate my clothes as I fold them. All in all- great value for all of the options!
I recently purchase the Cabrio Washer and Dryer, replacing my 20+ year old Whirlpool washer and dryer. Chose the same brand since I had such good luck with the old model. I love it!!!! The feature I love best, well maybe a couple of features . . . washer uses less water and less detergent . . . big saving. The dryer has it's own internal clock and moisture detector, it's just right. Also I really like the timer on both the washer and dryer. I can tell when the cycle is over.

I bought this 6 months ago and absolutely love it. So many Cycles to choose from and very energy efficient. It is so quiet and love the different detergent dispensers. I had my previous Whirlpool for 17 years with no problems. I also Love that it is made in the U.S.A
I bought this dryer about 3 weeks ago after doing significant reading of the various Whirlpool units. The first thing I noticed was the signal tone. My dryer is in the basement. It sounds more like a cell phone tone. If you put your clothes in the dryer and go about doing another things around the house you will definitely not hear this tone. My previous dryer had a buzzer which you could hear almost anywhere in the house. Second, the "wrinkle shield". They should have called this the "wrinkle maker". This unit stops for too long and then tumbles for less then 30 seconds. My last Whirlpool stopped for a couple minutes and tumbled again. Each time buzzing. Third, drying is inconsistent. If the items are not dry, you have to turn off the unit. Then, turn it back on and re-set settings in order to get the load dry the second time. I had one load which I had to put through three times before it was dried satisfactory.Some setting options only work with "automatic" settings and other only work with "manual" settings.One thing others have mentioned is the slanted top. Where did that come from? It does not effect me since I have a table to put clothes on. But, why?Has Whirlpool out smarted it self this time? Did they test this unit in a real world environment after designing it? I don't think so. I'm seriously considering returning this unit.
