We just purchasesd this GE dryer earlier this month and were not disappointed! Couldn't be happier with the quietness of this new dryer. Our old noisy dryer finally died after a few final "clunks"! We had to shut the dryer if we wanted to have conversation! Our new large capacity, energy efficient GE dryer is a great fit for this large family of 11. We found that the "Regular" setting for heat was actually above what was needed, so I put a little piece of tape on the front of the dryer letting our children know to use "Low Heat" which is more than adequate, and may (I think) be easier on the dryer? So, to summarize, we couldn't be happier than what we have now in this dryer. The new tariffs made it an easy decision regarding the pricing, as this GE was not affected, and came in at a great price-- the additional rebates we were offered made it an easy decision to go with GE. Thanks for making a great product, and restoring some faith in american made goods!
