Dryer is great,
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am happy with this dryer, but I am still getting used to the settings. How to make a longer dry cycle, etc. I like it....

    Excellent gas dryer with digital interface
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this dryer a month ago when we also had to replace our washer. (An ancient Maytag set.) BEST DECISION EVER. Being able to adjust the settings so easily is a huge benefit. I love the great lint trap design. It's far easier to clean than others I've used! I love the automatic drying sensor. Our loads are frequently done in less time than predicted upon start. Overall, this is an excellent and efficient dryer.

            Love this dryer!
            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had this dryer for a few months and I love it. Why?? ...because it has so many drying options available, it is not complicated and you can easily choose which ones are best for the load you are doing.

                Easy to use
                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this dryer about a month and a half ago because our 10 year dryer was starting to act up and so far it works great. It took us a little time to figure out the controls but now that we understand them it is working great!!

                    Awesome
                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I actually had to install a gas line for the dryer and it was 100% worth it. My dryer works so perfect and doesn’t keep going when the clothes are dry it stops it does what I tell it to do I’m extremely happy

                      a bit too big
                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have a small laundry room and this dryer is actually too big front to back. It does work well and we believe it was a good price.

                                Great dryer!
                                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have had this nearly a month now. First gas dryer I’ve ever owned and wanted to take advantage of quicker drying time vs the electric dryer. This thing is MASSIVE I think I could fit inside the tumbler, we have the 8.8 cubic ft version. So far nothing but positive feedback from my Wife and I. Most drying times are quicker, sometimes we have to untangle bedding but I think that is normal across the board with any dryer. We have 4 kids so there is always a load to wash/dry and we have saved a lot of time with a bigger washer, and this gas dryer. Would recommend to larger families for sure! Hope this helps anyone on the fence about Whirlpool as a brand and gas over electric. Haven’t had time to compare utility bills yet for any savings.

                                  Large Capacity
                                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this a week ago and did our first couple of loads of laundry this past weekend. What would have taken two loads was done in just one with room to spare. The dryer is very easy to use

                                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this dryer. Super quiet and dries perfectly for whatever you set at. Large capacity holds large loads of laundry and smells fresh.

                                            We are still getting use to this unit and sometime
                                            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have used Whirlpool before with other appliances. We sometimes experience delays in getting started because the dials do not seem to work as expected. In addition we have to use smaller loads when washing our sheets because they do not get dry.

Time will tell if it lasts 17 years.
