New GE Manual Controls Dryer
This product was selected because it had "manual" controls (vs. digital), and because of the larger drum size. However, I find that the main control dial to choose load setting is very stiff and hard to turn. More importantly, the lint catch which is in the front of the machine below door opening (vs. the top) is too small and flimsy, and precarious to take out and put back after cleaning. Lint catch doesn't appear to fit well and allows TOO MUCH LINT to collect inside dryer vent opening which reduces efficiency and requires increased machine cleaning.

As we continue to make improvements to our appliances, your feedback is extremely important to us. We will pass these comments along to our product team to review. It is also normal for dryer dials to be stiffer when they're new. You can rest assure that these knobs will loosen up with use.

    Very loud for a dryer. I live in an apartment; my neighbors are gonna hate me! Had to already have it serviced and I just got it 3 days ago. It's not drying! I should've kept my 25-year-old dryer!! New is not always better.

        Easy to use. Great capacity to dry bulky items.
        I like that it is a basic dryer with some special settings. It does a great job drying. I like GE products because they are sturdy.

              I wouldn't buy this product again.
              Do not buy this product. The buzzer is either too loud or silent, even tho the buzzer, has an adjustable knob. My towels use to take 40 minutes to dry. Now they take an hour. The knob for time/setting are hard to turn and click loudly. The cost went up after the deal also. Extra charges for A POWER CORD !!!!!! The unit doesn't come with a power cord!!!! haha smh.

              We are apologetic that this dryer has not lived up to your expectations due to the buzzer, drying time, and power cord. This unit does have an adjustable dial for the tone of the end of cycle buzzer, and the drying time for your load will vary based on the water content of the clothing and cycle selected. In regard to the power cord, most dryer power cords are sold separately to ensure that they comply with all state and local wiring codes. These codes can vary significantly from state to state, and even, city to city. Since it is not possible to anticipate the final destination of a dryer as it leaves the assembly line and install the proper cord, the local dealer usually provides the power cord. The cord type will vary according to the home's wiring (ex. 3-wire connection vs 4-wire connection).
                Great features!
                Works great. Love all the options and the alert signal when drying is finished.

                  Great dryer like the multiple best settings. Dryer door is hard to close. Hopefully this dryer will last for years to come.

                                              We bought this dryer as a set and had to be replaced after two months because of black stuff all over clothes. Received a new one and converted to liquid propane once again. After preforming the conversion, dryer smells of propane after each use and even when not in use. All lines were inspected and can’t figure out where it’s coming from. Seems like it’s coming from within the dryer.
