[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall the dryer is good but do not understand why there is no light in the drum. Very disappointing. My previous 13 yr old Whirlpool dryer had one.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It does not dry well, I had to dry my clothes twice I tried different cycles and the clothes still come out damp.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this because our old ones needed to be replaced. It works perfect. It is really quiet. The sound it makes when a load is done is not very loud. We bought the 15" pedestal with it and for my wife who is 5'6" there is no bending to put laundry in or when transferring to the dryer. So far I would recommend this washer to others. Also recommend the pedestal to go with it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The dry sensors are terrible. The dryer shuts off long before things are dry. I make sure not to use the woke baloney environmental garbage and the only way to get things fully dry is to set the time manually.
FYI: if you have to keep drying longer and repeat drying to get things dry you use more energy not less.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The first most annoying thing is that once you’ve pressed the many buttons to get this dryer set the way you want, you can’t just press Start and walk away. When you press the start button, you must hold it while the controller counts down from three. I’m an impatient person and I want to get on to the next thing, not wait around for my dryer to process a button push!
To set the dryer for a load of colors, you might press Power, and Regular and Normal comes up. (BUT the Temp, Dryness and Wrinkle Shield will be set to your last load, not a Regular and Normal setting!). Then you must check & set Temp, Dryness, and Wrinkle Shield (which if not off, will steam your Clothes!) And, of course, check and clean the filter. Then you press & hold the dreaded Start button.
To figure out how to put my damp clothes on Air dry, I called Product Support twice. The first rep gave me an incorrect answer (2 dots on temp means Air Dry); the second rep concluded my model does not do air dry only – also an incorrect answer. I finally stumbled on the answer myself – Timed Dry allows you to move the Temp to Air and also turn off Wrinkle Shield so you won’t add steam.
Also, I find the lowest Dry setting is too close to dry.
No ability to control the Beep Volume. I have never heard the Beep tell me the load is done: the sound is too low. I am more likely to hear when the machine stops humming!
Once I get this Dryer going, it seems to work ok. But you have to have lots of time and patience to carefully start your dryer every time you use it. And don’t rely on Product Support. They’re just reading the same Quick Start Guide you have without the benefit of the actual buttons to press.
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Too many sensors to fail. Poor design. Already needs repair. Waiting for warranty service that is painfully slow
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
