After 8 months of moderate use, the knob broke, and it was very difficult to figure out what part to purchase. The replacement knob arrived, and it broke also, after several days, prompting service call.
I bought this in March 2013 and it was the best investment I have made in the appliance field. I looked at other similar size dryers in other major brands. This one fit inside my budget perfectly. This dryer is extremely quite and has a tub big enough to hold my family of 5's laundry perfectly.
