Tthe dryer itself worked fine. Not any better, however, than the much lower-priced dryer I replaced. Within the first 16 months the dryer stopped working. I had purchased an extended warranty through the store I bought the dryer from, a locally-owned business. That was my first mistake. Purchase the extended warranty through Electrolux. The local company could not send a tech for two weeks. I called Electrolux to find out that parts were still under the original warranty during the second year, and they kindly issued a voucher to cover the labor. They also arranged for a tech to come the same day. That all sounds good, except he came and said it needed new rollers. They had to be ordered. The local warehouse only had two, so the other three had to be ordered. It took another two weeks for them to come in, so I ended up being without the dryer for one month. While Electrolux went above and beyond to help me get the issue corrected, I would not recommend the dryer because I feel that a dryer of this price range should not be breaking down within 16 months of purchase in a home that has two empty-nesters and a minimal amount of laundry loads.
This is one great dryer! We have had front load washers and dryers for over forty years but this one is by far the best. With its huge drum and special features like steam, options for drying, etc. it has been a real pleasure to work with.
This item has been somewhat of a disappointment. I have owned it less than a year and have already had to have it serviced twice. It rarely dries my clothes on the first cycle. I almost always have to run another cycle to get them completely dry. Also, because of the design and shape of the drum you cannot use a fabric softener bar in it. There isn't a uninterrupted flat space long enough to accommodate it.
The dryer I bought now works great once you figure out the flaws. First lets start from the beginning. The dryer came in defective. The service people fixed my machine to tip top shape. But this took a while because they carry no parts in stock. Everything had to be ordered. This took a while because two things were bad . He fixed one thing to find out something else was no good also. Now the flaw with this machine is no drying of sneakers or floor mats. These items get caught between the drum and the blades and kiss your very very very thin drum belt goodbye. Now every day drying of clothes is good. The machine runs on lp gas and is quiet. The drum is huge so clothes come out with no wrinkles.
