I love my new dryer (and washer)! The only small thing I noticed and it has nothing to do with performance, both the washer and dryer don't have the best closing mechanisms. Sounds and seems very "tin-y."
The front load dryer does an excellent job with drying, however, also sounds very uninsulated and I notice that my laundry room gets much warmer now during drying cycles.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

My last dryer finally quit after 12 years. My husband picked this dryer up for me on a whim. It dries most loads well and has a really nice lint trap and great lighting inside. My only issue is smaller loads. This dryer doesn't sense the dampness of the clothes well on smaller loads, so I've had several loads that have had to be rewashed and dried before realizing this issue. I've had to resort to using the 'time dry' setting and hoping I got it right
When you look at this dryer you can tell it is quality built. The metal doesn't feel cheap like most brands do. I love the streamlined modern pushbutton panel which is clear and concise so you can get on with your laundry. The timer lets you know how long you have left I the cycle. I think my favorite thing is the ultra bright LED bulb inside that helps me find every last tiny item hiding inside. I only wish the washer could have a light because I have left a few things in there that I only notice when I go to fold the laundry and realize it's missing but maybe that is something they will work on in the future. The drum is clearly a large size which I understand is important to dry quickly and prevent wrinkles. The Pet cycles are the next cycle I plan to try. I hear from others how well it does between the washer and dryer so I need to give it a test then report back here. The number of cycles should cover every drying need you have and even has steam to get rid of wrinkles quickly when you find something just before you are ready to go. Like the paired washer, it stands a little taller than typical dryers so you may not need a bottom stand at all. I paired my new dryer with a special magnetic dryer hose that I believe will help me get even more efficiency out of my new dryer. I really do see this as lasting maybe until I die from the quality I know went into building it and designing it. I love, love, love the lint trap being up front and center where it is easy to see to remind you to empty the lint each load. I really can't think of a thing they could improve on for this dryer. It's just perfect!
I thought all dryers were alike. How wrong could one be! So fast, so gentle, so versatile. The steam refresh is the best thing in laundry. You will find you use it all the time and won't believe what it does for your whole laundry. Sweaters come out like new!
I like everything about this washer. Easy to use, has selection for everything you need. Spends clothes so dry you do not have to run in the drier for long period of time.
