Dryer Review

Haven't had the set very long, overall seems like a decent machine, did use the steam feature and that was SUPER. Took a few loads to get used to the way it dries, a small load isn't ideal for this machine.
I just purchased my third Speed Queen Dryer. It is my favorite brand and they last a very long time. It has special features that make wrinkles go away and it can even sanitize the laundry.
Made in USA, great warranty, we also own a Speed Queen washer for the last 8 years and it only had one problem caused by us not checking all the pants pockets (drain pump stopped working because a paper clip was jammed pump)
I wish it would sense how wet or dry the clothes are. It just keeps going until the time is up. Clothes come out a mess.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

so far, I am loving my new dryer. Only downside is, I had frontload for 13 years and got used to the level of dryer. It is a long way to bend down now to retrieve clothes, but will get used it.
I finally pulled the trigger on buying this machine and I don't regret it. I replaced my noisy dryer with this high tech more options than I'll ever use dryer. It's effective, efficient and pretty quiet. I love that it has a 7 year warranty and hopefully I never have to get it serviced.
The DR7 Dryer is excellent. It is important to remember the sensor bars inside should be clean when you set the dryer up for the first time. Once that is done, it will dry perfectly every time. We have already used the “steam options” either stand alone or with normal dry; that is so nice and makes the clothes truly wrinkle free, particularly from damage caused by a previous GE/Hotpoint washer. The ability to have “custom settings” by creating your own “favorite” drying cycle and settings is a major time saver. For example, if you wash two weeks of cotton underwear along with super thick heavy crew socks, a “favorite” setting will dry perfectly without damaging the elastic waist bands and still get the thick heavy crew socks dry.
