I am a pet owner and I absolutely love both the pet and the steam features of this dryer. The Pet cycles really do remove excess fur from our clothes and from pet bedding very effectively. The steam cycles do everything from reducing wrinkles to sanitizing laundry. I love the preset settings and I can also customize the settings based on my own experience. Finally, I love the lint screen. It is so easy to clean and it does not allow big lint chunks to drop into the dryer. A lot of thought went into this dryer and it shows. Very happy with this purchase.
This is my second Speed Queen purchase. Had to leave my last one at the house we sold. Best washing machine on the market in my opinion. Solid performance.
Have only had this dryer for a few weeks now, but I love it! Purchased because of the quality this company gives, made in the USA, and I’m planning on it being our last dryer purchase!
Love it! My only complaint is that I can only use the LOW setting with the Timed Setting. I have towels that need to be dried on LOW, but I have to press the up/down arrows to set the timer. There has to be an easier way to do this.
Stopped heating after 5 months on use. Went with this brand because of their “durability”. I’ve had cheaper dryers last longer.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought this dryer 2 months ago and I love it. I added the steam kit that gives me more options. I love the pet hair function and it really does work. Drying time is short and complete.
