Don't waste your money!

Would Not Recommend

This dryer is so terrible at drying clothes that we were positive something HAD to be wrong with it. Brought out an appliance guy who looked it over and informed us nothing's broken it's just a terrible machine. We are aware that you can only fill I about 1/4 full for best drying time but it doesn't seem to matter- it always takes 4-5ish hours.

Simply does not work

Would Not Recommend

This dryer has never dried my clothes. I have followed all instructions and cleaned out all filters/lint, only put in small loads and still after 6+ hours the clothes are still damp and no where close to dry!! Basically steams clothes. Utterly useless.

Does not dry clothes

Would Not Recommend

I moved into a new townhouse and it came with this dryer. It was smaller than I was used to but I didn't mind as I hang quite a bit of laundry anyway. This dryer is the worst I have ever used. A small handful of clothes takes at least 3 hours, and towels take double that. Plus it has to be cleaned and emptied every load. It's much faster to just hang dry clothes. Very disappointing.

Worst Dryer in the World

Would Not Recommend

We got this dryer as part of a new-build townhouse development. Clothes barely dry after almost 2 hours on a cycle and the water tank has to be drained multiple times before clothes dry. Would recommend anyone to steer clear!

Horrible Dryer

Would Not Recommend

This dryer is crap. I have owned previous ventless dryers and no doubt they aren’t as effective at drying large loads in a timely fashion. This dryer is the worst. It doesn’t dry clothes at all. Dryer 3 cloth bibs or a few tea towels takes an hour to dry. Forget about drying a towel; you’d have better luck getting a clothes line to hang your clothes in the sun. Do not waste your time with this product. If you can’t get a vented dryer and need a ventless this shouldn’t even be a consideration.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I received this washer because the one I wanted, all in one with wifi was the machine for me, I could be at work and start may laundry and it would be dry when I got home, It broke down and after 6 weeks the technician show up with the part that whirlpool said he needed and it was still broke that part wasn't the correct part. I contacted whripool and l gave me options that none were very good, get a new washer like I had, but they did have one...

My wife has grabbed the sledgehammer!!!

Would Not Recommend

When we bought this dryer about 3 years ago, was great for the first year. Gradually started taking longer and longer to dry, did research and discovered the poor design around the filters and how the unreachable one behind the lint cartridge gets so clogged up, no good way to clean it. Currently taking 3-4 hours to dry a normal load, my wife is literally about to take a sledgehammer to it and leave it on the side of the road. is there some what to retrofit this thing so we can clean that fil...

Good for Ventless..

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Small dryer, works best with smaller loads and light clothes. Sweatshirt loads can take up to 2.5 hours. Hoping the efficiency on the electric bill makes up for the long drying times.

Wonderful features!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been wanting a ventless dryer for a long time! Living in a condo in the middle of the building a ventless dryer was ideal. It’s perfect for smaller spaces and very gentle on my clothes.

Works great

Would Recommend

We've had this for a few months and I'm a bit surprised at all the bad reviews. I did have to set the conductivity level to the highest setting, but it dries our clothes fine and takes about an hour and a half. It is LOUD, and I don't enjoy trying to clean the lower lint filter. But I've never had any issue with clothes not getting dried, and I'm doing laundry for a family of four, so one or two loads every day. I empty the water tank every time per the instructions, and occasionally clean the l...

Worst dryer ever!

Would Not Recommend

We purchased this dryer for our cottage, primarily because of its size and ventless feature. I absolutely hate this dryer. Should it really take 3 1/2 hours today a load and have it still damp? It was used summer months only and after 3 summers, the control panel failed. 3 summers is about 9 months of use. REALLY??? We are now looking for a replacement and I can absolutely guarantee that we will not consider a heat pump dryer ever again!!! DO NOT PURCHASE THIS MODEL. You will be disappoi...

Get extended warranty or buyer beware

Would Not Recommend

Unfortunately I was one of those who bought this machine due to brand recognition. I had done some research into ventless dryers and was looking for something compact, this checked those boxes. Upon arrival, the machine worked great and for a while worked as any dryer should. Then slowly and unfortunately after the manufacturing warranty went caput is when the issues started. I was one of those who chose not to get the extended warranty, figuring that my mothers machine had lasted a better part ...

Faulty Filter! Needs Part No. W11382898 To Work!

Would Recommend

Unit comes with a faulty lower lint filter housing. The design is ventless, but this requires 2 lint filters. If the bottom filter fails, then the coils in the heat pump get clogged and the unit overheats, either burning out the high-temp fuse or destroying the main circuit control motherboard. The unit ships with the noted faulty lower filter housing and this housing ALLOWS lint into the heat pump coils. If you buy this unit, make sure to also purchase a replacement filter housing, part No....
