Cleans very well

I bought these about 3 months ago. So far, I'm very happy with them. My only complaint is the dial on the washer sometimes lags a little, but that's a pretty minor issue.
I would recommend this to a friend!

We bought last month to replace our current dryer. It has great settings and easy to use. The lint screen is very large and enclosed so lint does not get everywhere when cleaning.

Behemoth and packed with features

I've had this dryer for just over a month and I don't know how I have managed to get along without it. First off, as my 'Review Title' states, this machine is behemoth with its 8 cu. ft. capacity. The well-lit (LED) drum is sleek and coated with a very durable enamel that is almost like a porcelain finish. Although I did not get the steam option, my unit contained the brass
discharge fitting to deliver it. I might add that I did not purchase the (very reasonably priced) steam option because I did not want to run an extra water line and connect it to my electric dryer. I thought of steam irons and how (inherently) they become riddled with limescale (and other mineral) deposits, necessitating cleaning the vents and sole plate with a vinegar or CLR solution. I did not want this added maintenance nuisance. Like most electric appliances today, the cord (a/k/a "pigtail") must be purchased separately, which is not a problem. The real challenge was finding the appropriately-sized, non-standard (large) cord restrainer, where the clamp has to accommodate a flat cord or "pigtail" to restrain it.
I don't know if all modern dryers - even those manufactured by other companies - have this hinged "sandwich" double action style lint trap or not, but it is superior! This device traps lint like I have never seen before, and is extremely efficient. The only drawback to this device is its size. It is so big that it is almost impossible not to bang the surfaces of the dryer opening, both inside and out, when removing and subsequently reinstalling it back into the dryer after cleaning. Strange that the specifications state, 'Extra Large Lint Filter: NO'. With 8 cycles, 5 temperature settings, wrinkle care, sanitizing cycle, and sensor dry (my personal favorite), it can handle anything with great ease. My dryer sits atop its compatible washer (FLS527UI) and is attached via the optional stacking kit (7X). Although the manufacturer states that an optional drying rack is available, there are none to be found. According to the installation instructions, the optimal dryer vent hose should either travel downward or left/right; mine must travel in a vertical direction due to the logistics of my condominium home. Nowhere does it state that an extension is required to clear the protruding back of the unit when connections are made such that the dryer discharge is vertical. This caused problems for me at the time of delivery/installation because they did not have one on the delivery truck.
All things considered, I would highly recommend this machine. The only reason I gave it three and not four stars was because of those shortcomings (cord restrainer, lint filter size, and dryer discharge arrangement), as I discussed, as above.

Nice Dryer

Had for about a month. Great machine, very quiet, and efficient. Clothes seem much softer, not beat up like my 42 year old Kenmore. Mounting to base needs to be redesigned, a 7th grader could have done better.
