I am so happy with this dryer. It is the replacement for a Kenmore I bought that was a disaster!<br />I originally looked at the LG dryer but went with the Kenmore because of cost difference...I won't make that mistake again! I got a good deal on the LG & it puts the Kenmore to shame.<br />Clothes always come out dry but not hot. All the options are easy to use & work great!

Comment:
This review of 5171. Just purchased as open box and saved $$$ and use it often. Been very impressed with it so far. Steam Refresh is outstanding option. I can put in a clean but worn shirt, and comes out fresh and clean again without washing. Very easy to use, my kids can use it. Very quiet, doesn't rattle or vibrate, clothes come out dry and wrinkle free. Only complaint is that it doesn't fold them for me. I still have to get used to all the options on this thing. Pretty amazing really for a clothes dryer. Love the digital timer so I know exactly how long it will take to dry. I think a good suggestion would be to add a water inlet to it, but filling is easy on top of the dryer. Lint trap easy to clean too. Nice big opening to get the clothes in/out. Dryed some towels and they came out perfect. My work clothes come out wrinkle free and ready to fold. Again, an impressive machine. Highly recommended. Why pay more?
