Disappointing

I am not impressed. I don’t think it is drying the clothes as well as previous dryers. I have to put it on for longer time and use the time setting because all of the other settings don’t get the clothes fully dry. Also the lint tray is not easy to slide out.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We would like to provide guidance with this dryer. Drying performance will vary based on multiple factors such as the size of the load, the type of fabric (cottons hold more water than synthetics), the wetness of the clothes and the condition of your exhaust ventilation. Using the proper venting material and making sure the vent ductwork is the proper length is very important to the operation of a dryer. We recommend the use of a solid metal vent pipe 4" in diameter for adequate operation. 4" diameter flexible metal venting may be used but will increase the drying time. We don't recommend the use of flexible, white, plastic vent pipe. This type of vent pipe can collapse and restrict the airflow, causing lint to build up inside the dryer. We also advise removing and cleaning the lint filter each time it is used. The filter can be washed with warm soapy water to remove fabric softener residue from the screen.
We have provided some additional troubleshooting tips to help with the drying of your items here: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=18058
Your feedback is extremely important to us. We will pass these comments regarding the lint filter along to our product team to review.

We are glad to assist with the door of your dryer not shutting properly. We recommend applying a small amount of lubricant to the door latch. If the door still won't close properly, please schedule a service appointment with a Bodewell technician by calling 833-426-3393 or schedule online at https://www.bodewell.com/schedule-repair-service
I've had this dryer for just about a year and ever since I first started using it, it takes forever to dry my clothes, even small loads. Very disappointed as I was hoping this GE product would work out well for me.

We want to help you with your dryer taking too long to dry. We recommend sorting your load properly, thick, heavy, bulky fabrics need more dry time than lightweight fabrics. Additionally, we recommend cleaning the lint filter before each load. You can find more information on the following article: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=18058
If the issue persists after troubleshooting, we recommend reaching out to our Bodewell service team at 1-833-426-3393 to schedule an appointment.
Great capacity with this washer, it's able to handle large loads. The 'normal' cycle doesn't always get things dry, but moving it to another setting works great. Overall it seems like the sensor works very well. I like the features it offers and it pairs nicely with the washer we bought.
We have had our dryer for 14 months and it making all sorts of loud banging noises. Our last dryer lasted 15 years this one has barely made it a year! I DO NOT RECOMMENDED!!!

We bought this dryer January 2025.. by end of the month it was not heating. Service replaced “every part I could replace” and now it’s not heating again. DO NOT BUY THIS DRYER.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Weare sorry to hear of your experience with this dryer so far. We see that you are actively working with our team, and we are confident that they will assist you with getting your dryer back up and running as quickly as possible.
This dryer like the washer has lots of choices and options for drying any type of load you have washed. I really like the "sensing" feature it uses to detect how dry the clothes are so it will not over heat them and harm the material. It also has "wrinkle control" for those really picky clothes that just want to wrinkle no matter what. It dries fast and complete. It's not really noisy like someone had said. I find it to be normal sounding.
I would recommend this to a friend!

We are happy to hear you are liking the multiple options available on your dryer, like Sensing and Wrinkle Control! One of our favorite features is Eco Dry, which is available for Bulky/Bedding, Towels, Normal/Cottons, Mixed Load, Active Wear, and Delicates. When the Eco Dry button is pressed, cycle settings change to reduce the total energy consumption of the selected sensor cycle. Please keep in mind that cycle times will change when Eco Dry is selected. You can find more information on page 7 of the owner's manual here: https://products-salsify.geappliances.com/image/upload/s--U8h21IVx--/80509adbcc4074029478592026bc8b47388dd5a6.pdf
We are glad that your day-to-day laundry just got much easier!
