[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It seems just OK. I actually prefer the Whirlpool Duet Dryer I got rid of better. This one takes longer to dry. I don't like that the light inside goes off before I am even halfway done pulling out my garments to fold. It's too dark to see inside without the light. It should stay on until I close the door, but it doesn't. Also - I have dog fur on my clothes frequently. When my Duet would dry the clothes, the dog hair would catch in the lint tra...

Arrived broken, Twice!
We purchased this dryer with delivery. It arrived broken! One of the sides was crushed from the bottom and the leveling foot inoperable. Lowe’s initiated a replacement immediately. Two days later the replacement arrived. Broken! The same damage as the first. The driver wouldn’t finish unloading it and didn’t want the first broken one back. He said he would report it. I called the store. The appliance department reply? “What can I do about it? These things come from a warehouse” I told him we nee...
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We contacted Whirlpool due to person in household with disability having difficulty operating washer/dryer, questioned if there were any work arounds. We spoke with Product Specialist Care Team along with follow-up emails, this person had "0" concern, compassion or empathy for our situation. Unfortunately when purchasing units washer/dryer they are not operating so it is unknown until after purchase if it meets the needs of the person purchas...

White Washer & White Dryer are not the same color
I was excited to receive my new washer and dryer, but I was disappointed to discover that the white finish on the washer does not match the white finish on the dryer. They were purchased as a matching set, so I expected them to be the same color. Instead, the washer has a noticeably different shade of white than the dryer, which is very obvious when they're installed side by side. Functionally, the appliances work fine in the two days I have used them, but for anyone purchasing a white set be aw...

Nice dryer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Dries well, better than the 18 year old it replaced. Not a huge fan of the power or pause buttons & their delayed responses, having to hold it. And the door is huge.

Broke within the first 72 hours
Broke within the first few days of owning it and has been a pain in the behind to have serviced. It will still heat up fine but is so loud it can be heard from anywhere in the house. No one will work on it while stacked and no one will unstack it to work on it. Not sure how I am supposed to unstack it by myself or test it to see if its fixed it it cannot be put back in place while the repair person is present. Lowes is no help since it has been more than 48 hours.

Excellent product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This unit replaces a dryer that was 20 years old. Attractive appearance. Larger volume will help with items such as comforters. It has much more flexibility in the choice of drying cycles which is helpful but requires a learning curve. /overall performance is flawless.

So far ... Really Good
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The dryer, while noe inexpensive to purchase, has proven itself to be both faster and quieter than the previous model Whirlpool it replaced. Whilel its just a few months old, it is doing the work it was designed to do .. excellently. We just hope it keeps up the good work.
From whirlpool.com
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the sensor drying, and the many different settings for every type of load. I also like being able to check on the app if the load is done or how much time remains, it saves me from having to run up and down to check
