Proper duct tubing was not provided by installer

Do not buy this appliance unless you are prepared to purchase your own duct ventilation tubing that is required for this dryer, per the manual and installation instructions. I have inside wall duct piping. Hahn appliance stated they would not change their installed duct piping to the appropriate duct material, as it was installed per Frigidaire’s approved standards. Electrolux said it was within 30 days of purchase, so Hahn was responsible. The Electrolux repairman told me wrong duct piping was used, per the manual. Zero solution to this. I know when a dryer is not working right. I had to have a trusted repair person to purchase flexible aluminum (metal) tubing that does not extend and compress in a manner that reduces the 4” diameter air flow required for the dryer to correctly collect the link. This fault can be a fire hazard. Now, the dryer is properly collecting the lint. Otherwise, I purchased for steam feature and I am now satisfied, after paying to have it correctly installed.

Got the new dryer connected and fully installed. So far so good. The unit is very quiet when running. The controls are straightforward and simple. Note the "dial" is just a display and not a touch wheel. The various modes are cycled through by use of a "select" button. I've used it about 5 times and so far the only feature miss is an interior light (my old dryer had this and it was very convenient). The unit is fairly light as compared to the matching washing machine and was not overly difficult to move around when installing.
Love our Electrolux gas dryer. We purchased an Electrolux washing maching 6 years ago but didn't need to replace our old dryer until recently and of course we went with Electrolux again as the washing machine has been great. With the new dryer, I no longer need to go to the laundromat to dry our bulky comforter! When we purchased our washing machine it came with 2 white bases (b.o.g.o). being that our laundry is in the basement we didn't care if our new dryer matched so we went with the in-stock blue dryer vs waiting for white to come in. Either way, you can't go wrong with Electrolux. Yes, they are expensive but you pay for what you get. Totally worth the cost. Would definitely recommend and buy again.
We needed a gas dryer quickly because we invited our grandson to come live with us while he created living space in a bus he bought from the River guiding company where he was a guide. We called several appliance companies and many did not have gas dryers and they were often too large for our under counter space. You could hear our giant sigh of relief when we found the Electrolux !! Quickly it has become “ the new guy on the block” and it has been a joy every time I fill it up !!
I absolutely love my front loading propane dryer (converted by Cluetts in Ware , MA from gas to propane). It works beautifully!! I love the lint catcher in its location right inside the front door of the dryer. It does a fabulous job drying my clothes. Furthermore, shirts come out with minimal wrinkles which is a joy!! Highly recommend this dryer!!!
