Some tips for future buyers: 1) The Lowes site does not specifically tell you when ordering that you need a washer water connection hose to connect to the dryer for the steam function. The unit comes with a short (under 12") hose and a Y Adapter. You hook the short piece to your cold washer water connection, then attach the Y connector. The existing washer cold hose connects to one leg of the Y and the hose you need to buy connects to the other leg of the Y. Get a single hose long enough to go ...

Going strong after 1.5 years
This is a super large dryer that has the ability to fit a t last 3 regular loads. The dials are easy to use. Everything is digital. It's a very quiet dryer. The lint trap is on top slides in and out. Super convenient. This dryer is very high tech. Very sleek and classy looking. It matches well with a few other washing machines that are available for purchase from Lowe's. All in all, I am semi-happy with this dryer. Now the downside of this dryer is, you have to put it through the drying cycle tw...

Good dryer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve only had this dryer since December 18 so I can’t say how long it’s gonna last but I’ve been very pleased with it so far this is the first time I’ve used a pulldown door instead of a side opening door and I was afraid it was going to take up too much room but it really doesn’t the door is Longer than it is wide so it actually fits better into my laundry area than my other one did It has plenty of settings and it’s got a large capacity I’ve ...

Great features
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I bought this a month ago and I like it. Only problem I had was balancing it.

Excellent So Far!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have a very small laundry closet and needed to find a dryer under 28". As imagined this didn't leave us with many options. Our 34-year-old Whirlpool set was starting to go out so we decided to get a new set while we could as we didn't want our old set to die and not be able to get anything new with delivery delays. So far I am extremely glad we upgraded. The new set is very easy to use and everything works as it should. I like the larger cap...

GREAT dryer, but terrible installation
This dryer is perfect for me.. first time I have had separate units for 20 years. The drop door is GREAT...first time have not dropped clothes on the floor between washer and dryer...Knobs, not a digital mess...offers all the choices you would need, and so easy to use. I now dry a whole load of clothes in half the time...probably has something to do with the excellent matching washer spinning clothes almost dry.. very quiet..! BUT watch out for the install, and do your homework..!! The c...

Buy if you like to throw away Money!!!
Horrible!! Takes forever to dry. I was so excited about making this purchase. The dryer supposedly has all these features, but what’s the point in having them if the dryer can’t even do the main purpose of one…Dry. Takes about four hours to dry one full load. We Have the matching deep large capacity whirlpool washer(was purchased several months before this) which Thankfully works great. But this dryer unfortunately is a complete waste and going back to the store. We were willing to exchange for ...

Love the steamer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far so good and I really love the steam feature. I can now where clothes that were wrinkled and I can't get my wife to iron anymore so this made unwearable clothes now wearable and it works relatively fast!

Broke in less than 12 hours aka 2 uses
A lot of the reviews made it seem great and it was on sale too. Should have known something was up when a majority of the reviews states “review collected as part of a promotion.” We had the dryer professionally installed (including the power cord) by authorized people from Lowe’s. It dried our first load great. The auto sensing had our clothes nice and dried. About an hour later we decided to run it for a little to warm the clothes back up but to our surprise, NO HEAT. We thought it could have ...
