      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had my dryer delivered 5 days before leaving on vacation so I only used it once before I left. However since I have returned I most definitely have appreciated the large drum,light and settings

                  Easy to use, well built machine
                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this as a replacement for our gas dryer. I converted to electric and am very pleased with the quick dry time. It's pretty quiet and only requires 1 cycle to get the clothes dry. I am impressed.

                    The performance of the dryer appears to be top-notch. My only concern is pressing and holding the button to start the machine seems lengthy to get it to start. You press and hold and then stand there a bit and then it starts. That seems odd to me. I am concerned that "start" button will wear out quickly. Other than that the dryer is quite nice.

                    New Dryer
                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this dryer 2 weeks ago. I am a 65 year old man and I don't have a lot of experience with dryers. However, I am happy so far.

                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My old dryer quit working. It's so nice now to dry my clothes in one cycle in stead of two.

                        It’s ok
                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought 2 weeks ago. Didn’t need a new one but thought that in 63 years I’ve never had a new set of appliances so it’s my turn. Highly disappointed that on the first day I used the “time “ setting because I had a small load. Ever since, I cannot use it. I can try to set a time for 30, 60 etc but the entire list of minutes starts flashing. Thought I could unplug it and maybe reset but that was no help. And there’s no troubleshooting guide included in the dryer booklet!

                          Like the Steam Feature
                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using this for about 6 weeks. I like the steam feature and the anti-static feature. I find the towel setting worthless, I have to run towels through two cycles to get them dry (not a large load either). In fact, most loads have to go longer than the chosen setting runs. Sadly, I probably would not buy again or recommend to a friend.
                          by
                            Love the different settings
                            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought on black Friday and love it so far!! It's quiet and dries beautifully!!

                              Very Quiet dryer with excellent heat setiings
                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this dryer a month ago for my wife who want a steel drum and different drying cycles to save us money on our electric bill. After drying towels and multiple loads the dryer works great and is extremely quiet!! The wet sensor works great and shuts off the dryer when the clothes are dry. Our clothes comes out wrinkle free with this dryer and my wife loves it!! Her favorite part of the dryer is that she does not have to bend down to clean the lent trap because it is on the top of the dryer. We hope this dryer last us a long time!!

                                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Some cloths come out wrinkled while some are still damp. Buzzer is worthless. The sound of the dryer running with cloths in it is louder than the buzzer. Have to be standing right next to the machine to hear the buzzer. With todays engineering you would think it would have a better buzzer! Old machine did a better job drying cloths and you could hear the buzzer! Should have just had old machine repaired

                                    There is no soap dispenser and soap marks are left on the clothes. Not a fan of this model.

                                        Exceeds expectations!
                                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this dryer after having mine for the last 22 years. I was hesitant because they say things aren’t made like they used to be. I had a Maytag dryer previously but I just believed that it was age in which it quit working. We purchased both the matching new Whirlpool washer and dryer upon previous research and the fact that rest of our house has all Whirlpool appliances. Well, both the new washer and dryer have far exceeded our expectations! They are wonderful and do an AMAZING job! We couldn’t be happier with our new set and are so happy so happy with our entire household of Whirlpool appliances!
