Somehow this unit's footprint is only marginally larger than the unit it replaced yet the capacity is so much more! All the extra space allows the clothes so bounce around more and evenly dry. The moisture sensor also seems to work well, I only use the normal/eco mode and it's set it and forget it. Sometimes when I have a mix of items such as clothes and towels, the towels will still be damp which is kind of expected. In that case, I remove all the dry clothes and run another cycle for anything that's not completely dry. Again, the moisture sensor will automatically adjust the time. I do have the water line hooked up but have yet to try the steam feature.
Stopped working after 3 weeks, 4 hours to get someone on tech support, techs out to house twice, product still not working. Currently hand washing underwear.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This dryer is a bit heavier than my last one but also has the added steam abilities so I always have wrinkle free clothes! No more need for the dry cleaners for sure. The load dries quicker than expected and has a timer count down that is always displayed and appears to be a bit over estimated at the start which is so much better than the drastic underestimating other brands seem to always suffer from. Love the Electrolux brand and my last dryer from them lasted 15 years and is a brand I have complete trust in.
The lint trap keeps coming out while running. Research more online about this problem and you’ll find it’s not uncommon. I have to stay within ear shot of it running because I’m afraid to burn down the house.
