Subpar Dryer with Limited Features

Capacity is fine, as you know what you are getting when ordering it.
It really struggles with anything more than half the drum. Trying to dry a Queen Sized Comforter will likely take more than one run some with any heavly loads of clothes or heavily soaked clothing.
Controls are very limited, giving you only three options, automatic regular heat (which often still leaves clothes damp, especially the waist bands of jeans, and other thick parts of clothes), timed high heat, and no heat, it is noticeably missing a low heat/delicates option.
My biggest gripe with this dryer is the lint trap and gasket system. The lint trap enclosure is a cheaply made plastic that does not sit flush against the lint trap itself. Resulting in lint getting trapped in the plastic enclosure itself. What is worse however is the door gasket design, I have no other words to describe it other than awful. A ton of lint goes right past the gasket and straight up into the exhaust, bypassing the lint trap. A lot of lint just gets trapped around the door so when you open it, lint falls onto the ground or right onto your newly dried clothes.
Noise is pretty standard, not in the realm of quiet by any means but nothing out of the ordinary.
Overall, I would not reccomend this dryer to anyone. There are plenty of better options out there.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We'd like to provide some information about the drying time and assist with the lint filter. Longer drying times are normal for dryers operating on a 120 volt circuit. The drying on this circuit takes about three times as long as on a 240 volt circuit. Additionally, you'll want to be sure not to overload the dryer. Overloading the dryer can increase the drying time. You can click here to find additional information about loading your dryer on pg. 7: https://products-salsify.geappliances.com/image/upload/s--EOk9TIoi--/eszu2izjfeeghupdceox.pdf We manufacture appliances with high quality parts/materials. The lint filter should be cleaned before each use. A waxy buildup may form on the lint filter from using dryer-added fabric softener sheets. To remove this buildup, wash the lint screen in warm, soapy water. Dry thoroughly and replace.

I have gone through 3 brand new dryers! First 2 on delivery door wouldn't shut! The 3rd one looked okay but after setting it up tried to start ! If you held start button the tub would turn but would not stay running! kept one finger on start button and one on door switch it would turn but upon releasing door switch it would stop! No matter what I tried it would not run! 3 brand new dryers ALL DEFECTIVE! sent back canceled order! Hellow whirlpool!

We're very sorry about your experience with your dryers. Your comments are extremely important to us and will definitely be considered. We sincerely hope to one day serve you again in the future with our appliances.
This is a apartment size dryer and you would never know it by the way it drys our clothes. I would recommend this dryer to anyone who needs a dryer and don't have much room.
