My wife and I had an LG dryer before this one and it kept breaking down. I am pretty handy so I just kept fixing it. This time around the heating element and belt broke when we were watch the grand kids right after a day outside playing in the sprinklers. That was the final straw for us and we ended up shopping for a new dryer. After much research and deliberation we decided on a GE dryer and boy was that a great decision. Not only does it dry our clothes in half the time of our previous on but the lint catcher seems to catch all of the lint and none goes down into the “abyss.” The added wifi connectivity is also a nice addition giving us alerts on our smart phones so when we are outside with the grandkids we know when the laundry is done. We are so thrilled with the dryer that my wife want the matching washer to go along with it once the dryer is paid off.
