I was extremely limited in the selection of a dryer because of the depth of the closet. It is only 34” deep. My prior dryer had many more cycles and was much more quiet. My budget was also limited. This is the only flat back dryer that fit the space and budget. It also shimmied and moved while going through the drying cycle so I put thin rubber under the front legs. This worked and now it doesn’t move. The appearance is very basic just knobs, and nothing lights up. It also will dry clothes forever if you don’t put it on a timer. It would be helpful if some page in the manual at least gave a clue as to how long sheets, towels, jeans etc. will take so the appliance isn’t drying clothes for an hour and a half.
The GE dryer looks great and fits into our limited space so that's a plus! I always had an old dryer that dried everything quickly. This one seems to take a lot longer to dry anything, I think it might be the new dryers these days.
