A good start on more efficient clothes drying
on August 18, 2015
Posted by: knave67

We've been using the HybridCare for about two months and so far are very pleased both with the performance and the reduced electricity usage over our previous conventional dryer (at least 50% less). Because this is new technology, at least in the U.S. market, I actually purchased the extended service plan, something I normally don't do. One concern for long term use are the lint filters - they don't seem likely to hold up well. Plastic hinges rarely do well in high heat, continuous use environments.

No more flying lint!

our old dryer was not vented correctly and we always had lint flying everywhere, plus we we worried about a possible fire! It takes a little longer to dry clothes but it is worth is and the clothes do not have lint either.

Excellent Ventless Dryer
on August 14, 2015
Posted by: BostonDan
from Boston, MA
I live in a condo building that was built with non-vented laundry rooms, and I replaced a condensing dryer with the Whirlpool HybridCare Dryer and a matching washer. I was a little nervous because I was afraid I would not get the performance I was hoping for in this more expensive dryer. I was wrong. I've seen reviews that talk about very long drying times, but I can generally dry a load of clothes in less than an hour. While the countdown timer starts out at more than an hour on Eco-friendly settings, mine seems to drop the time during the cycle as it senses less moisture. Drying times are half that of my condensing dryer, and the options on this unit are great! The only thing I'd like to have seen added is a steam option. I've had the dryer about 2 weeks now, and I can say that I am completely satisfied with everything about it, so far.

Exceptional Experience
on October 31, 2015

After extensive research on ventless dryers, I opted for the 7.3 Ventless Duet. My goal was to eliminate exterior venting in a high rise beachside condo while reducing electricity expense (and thus carbon footprint). So far all I can say is WOW - with a family of six and frequent loads throughout the week this unit has been an exceptional experience! Drys better than the vented unit it replaced and has reduced my comparable electricity bill roughly 11%. I would strongly encourage anyone to give it a test drive. Great quality, easy maintenance and best of all MADE IN USA.

Whining gives me a headache
on June 5, 2015

Duet washer/dryer combo installed 2 days ago. After 2 loads through, I can say it works great. However, the high pitched whine of the dryer gives me a headache and it makes the laundry room very hot and humid.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great Ventless Dryer
on June 15, 2016
Posted by: Anonymous
from Michigan
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just purchased this dryer along with a Duet washer. I just love the set. The ventless dryer was installed in the basement of my condo. Rules make it very difficult to get permission to vent outdoors thru an exterior wall. This dryer is a dream come true. The options are very clear & the drying time slightly longer than my old dryer but a full load of heavy towels dried in about 60 minutes. The lent traps (2) are easy to open & clean. The drain is hooked up to the same drain pipe as the washer..perfect! Expensive, but perfect!

No more vent cleaning, use less juice!

It dries the clothes, that is what counts. It takes a little longer on full Eco mode but the energy savings should easily make that worth it. The only negative I have experienced is the slight "whine" it makes and the humidity it adds to the room. But I keep the laundry room door closed to keep the kitchen quieter so that probably exacerbates the humidity situation. Most of the year I can have the door to the garage open and that will let the humidity out.
