Get an extended warranty, you'll need it

Pros

Energy Efficient

Large Capacity

Cons

Unreliable

Comment:

Bought this and the companion washer. Just after the warranty ran out, the door lock on the washer broke. That cost $250 to fix. Then, less than 2 years after purchasing, the dryer heat element died. It will cost $431 to fix! We could almost buy a new one for that cost! If anything else goes wrong, we will dump both washer and dryer at a junkyard and buy a new set. I did love both until parts started breaking.

How long have you owned it:

More than six months

Bottom Line

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Cons

Heating elemate went out

Best Uses

Comment:

When I first bought this product, it was wonderful. It dried everything so quickly. I loved the wrinkle release. It continues to turn your load even after it's done to keep it from getting wrinkled until your can get to it. But, right after my warranty was up, which made the dryer 18 months old, the heating element went out. I read on [...] several reviews of the same complaint. So I would recommend an extended warranty if you buy this product.
