Welcome to the world of digital automation. I prefer the old fashioned mechanical switches 3 water levels 5 wash cycles and mechanical timer, but those days are gone. Bought the extended warranty to ease my anxiety of electronic failure and hoping I won't need to use it. That being said, look around, today is a digital world.
We wanted the lint screen in the front, easy controls, and most importantly a warning buzz abt a minute from turning off.

So here's the rub, the dryer is set up for easy back venting, but if you want to side vent, it's a real pain because the so-called "knock out panels" are not that at all. You have to drill and saw them out. Plus, you need to custom cut your internal ducting and get creative at times to secure everything in place. Expect a frustrating job if you need to side vent this dryer.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
