I absolutely love this dryer...the capacity is great...still getting used to which cycle is best for each load but overall it's wonderful...I love the wrinkle sheild feature, with three kids, three dogs & several little critters it's hard to get right back to folding...my dogs are finally used to the see through door...they were a little unnerved at first :-)
I love my new washer and dryer! I think the design of them are nice, like the see through doors. I got them in white, wish I would of got them in stainless.......but they would of worked the same regardless. The dryer takes less time then what I expected. I always knew that Whirlpool was a good product, I will always by Whirlpool from now on.
I chose Whirlpool because their products are generally very reliable. They are also the only brand that makes a dryer with the door that opens downward. Until someone invents a dryer with a door on the top of the machine, I??ll need the open door to catch any clothes I might drop as I transfer them from the washer. I have a bad back and can??t bend to place each handful of clothes into the dryer drum, so I need that open door to drop the handfuls of clothes on until it builds up and then I can just push the clothes into the dryer. It's very attractive with the glass center and you can make sure everything's moving nicely.The reason I only gave this dryer 3 stars for Design is that (and I didn??t realize this at the store) the top of the dryer is curved so the surface is on a curved slant. I don??t mean that it needs adjusting with the leg adjusters. So when I put my laundry basket on top of it, it slid right off. Same thing when I folded clothes and wanted to stack them on the dryer. Why on Earth anyone thought a slanted top was a good idea is beyond me. I remedied this by putting a rubbery, slip-proof liner on it. See pictures.As for the digital controls, they seem to mostly be pre-programmed. I was used to selecting my own temp and dryness level. With the pre-programmed dial, it prevents me from altering their levels except for a few adjustments.The buzzer has a loud and soft setting. The loud isn't loud enough for me to hear it upstairs.Easy to access and clean the lint screen that is right at the open door. Love the extra large drum! It can take on my extra large washer loads with room to spare!
Great product - My only concern is the slanted top. You can'

Great product - Does what is supposed to do without any hassles. Very effect lint capture screen. Sleek attractive design, however, the top should be flat to accommodate storing detergent or softener for the washer.
