We have had this dryer now for a month, and it has been fantastic. It dries the clothes perfectly, and unnecessary, quickly. It is a very quiet machine. I highly recommend this. I only caution is that if you are going from a regular dryer to one on a pedestal, it raises your dryer to a fantastic level – but you can’t use the top of the dryer for anything else anymore, because it’s too high. We have adjusted to this, and really like the risers.
We have had gas dryers for the past 23 years. About five years ago we upgraded to a top of the line gas dryer from a big name company. What junk, it took forever to dry, the sensors were a joke and the vendor told us it was working fine. Enter the Electrolux , wow, wow, wow! Fast, efficient, dries clothes perfectly with auto sensing. Bonus is the super efficient, easy to clean lint filter. Love the dryer.
This dryer lists options in the manual that sound good until you actually use them. You cannot select low temperature for the heavy cycle and 80% of my blankets, towels, flannel shirts, etc. say "Tumble Dry Low" so I have to use the Normal cycle. Then when selecting the Low temperature setting, I am restricted from selecting a High or Max dryness level which means all the seams and hems on those items come out of the dryer way to damp to fold up and put away. I know it is supposed to prevent me from over drying the clothes but now I have to run multiple cycles that almost certainly over dry the clothes and take up way too much time. Preferred my older "Dumb" dryer that let me set things the way I wanted and then I got clothes that dried the first time.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hey there Gslater! We apologize for any disappointment your washer has caused you and thank you for bringing it to our attention. The Heavy/Towel setting only lets you select Normal to Max temperature. In the Normal cycle, you can select the low temperature and adjust the dryness level so that your load comes out dry. This may cause the load to run for a longer time as it is trying to dry your towels at a lower temperature. We suggest that you attempt to dry smaller loads with the low temperature to cut down on the cycle time. If this does not resolve your issues, we’re here to help. Feel free to chat with us online at Electrolux.com or via phone at 1-877-435-3287 Mon-Fri 8:30am – 8:00pm EST. Best, Kiara
I bought both Electrolux front load washer and front load dryer about a month ago. So far I am very satisfied with the performance and features of both appliances. I would recommend Electrolux appliances to any of me friends.
Switched from LG to Electrolux and don't regret it at all. I LOVE this dryer! I especially love the steam feature! This is my first Electrolux appliance and I'm hooked!
