Inglis - 6.5 Cu. Ft. 5-Cycle Electric Dryer - White

I'm a college student who didn't have a lot of money to spend on a fancy LG or Samsung dryer. This dryer is energy effecient, has a large capacity, and easy to use. Set up was easy and it is actually light weight. I got the three year warranty because I have three other roommates that use it. So far, no problems. It usually takes about 40-45 minutes to completely dry a full load on the energy saver setting. I would recommend this dyer to anyone on a budget.

For the price, you really can't go wrong with this one... I looked around for weeks, knowing that my old one was on its last legs. Motor finally seized on it, so I had to act quickly, and decided on this for the price. Added a $25 gift card to bring it to $299+ and got 6 months same as cash financing... that made it even easier. But so far (<2 weeks) it's done a great job of drying various types of clothes. It is somewhat noisy, but meh... it's a no frills dryer. It's not like one of the high end front loaders with ball bearing tracks for the drum. If I close the pantry door, I can't really hear it. But to those having problems drying, my experience is that it's typically not the dryer, especially a new dryer. Perhaps the washer isn't spinning high enough to get the water out of your clothes, or your ventilation for the dryer is clogged. I bought a duct snake with bristle end and cleaned out the duct (runs under slab) on mine 3 years ago, and it was totally full of lint, hair and who knows what from previous owners and years of use. Dryer worked really well after that. But I have also had bad washers as well that don't spin up fast enough. This can dramatically affect dryer performance. Be sure to install a semi-rigid duct from the back of the dryer to the wall as well... this really helps airflow... the flexi-pipes kink way too easily. That's just my 2 cents, but as of now, I'm very pleased with my purchase.

Pros: We always had to dry things twice from the get-go. But, I suppose that could be attributed to the size/content of the loads. Our laundry room is small. This fits in tight spots. Had all the features we wanted. Cons: Ours died after 2 years - wouldn't dry clothes, wouldn't heat up, wouldn't start. Finally, it refused to start one last time. Repairs are more expensive than the dryer. We got a cheap used one off craigslist since we were in a pinch. That's lasted us about 18 months. Now that one is giving us issues. I'm not so sure I'd get this one again but they all seem to last about 2 years. Now, the washer has done great this whole time. Get something of better quality if you can afford it. Otherwise, I'd recommend - WITH the 4-yr warranty.

Many times online reviews are skewed by those who didn't buy the higher end product that would have satisfied their needs to make them happy in the first place, or they received lemon units. This is one of those reviews where a decent, cheaper product is so inundated with negative reviews. First, BestBuy has a no lemon policy, so there's no problem there, check it out. And by all means, as with any low grade cheaper product, buy the extended warranty... $79.99 for 3 years on this one. It covers everything and BestBuy will take care of you quickly. Don't mess around with the slow, one-year manufacturer's warranty where you'll be waiting around for weeks for them to dispatch service and/or parts. You get what you pay for, and in this case, what you pay for is just enough for my needs as a single guy with one roommate. Sure, if you're a family of 8, don't get this unit... of course, upgrade. But if you're in an apartment or in a smaller family, this is a cheap option that is a totally suitable alternative to the overpriced name brands. It's got a really big interior and I don't even use the high setting because the energy efficient medium, "automatic" dry setting does the job to dry in one run. And 13 months later, both the washer and dryer work just as well as they did on day one. By the way, this "Inglis" brand is manufactured by Whirlpool (there's a nearly identical unit sitting 2 models over in the store made by Whirlpool and with its name brand tag for $599)! I got both the Inglis washer and dryer in store for $499!! I say go for it... I'm glad that I did. More expensive isn't always better.

After 4 months of use I still love it. It doesn't seem any louder to me than others. It dries great, fast on high, low is more like medium-low. The only thing is it doesn't have a buzzer to tell alert you when it's done. But for this low price and it works great, I just set the oven timer. The matching washer is fantastic as well. All new washers are awful because they aren't allowed to use very much water. But the washer does wash at high level, and rinses at max allowable which is about 1/3 full. I just run each load again short wash to fully rinse. I love mine.

When our last dryer, which lasted 27-years, died we were on a quick search for a replacement. Living on a budget and always looking for an economical value the $255 price tag on this machine caught our eye. We've only had it for a couple of days but I'm certain it was a good pick. Larger capacity than old faithfull, good selection of drying modes and, despite what others have written, runs quiet in my book. Inglis isn't a well known brand name but they're a Canadian company owned by Whirlpool and internet product reviews were positive. True, it doesn't have a cycle buzzer but, to save $75 - $100, I'll get off my butt to go out to the garage and check. I'd tell anyone this machine is a great value purchase.

This dryer has worked very well for my wife and I. We have had it for two years and have had no reliability issues. It works very well, and my only gripe with it is the timer for lower heat settings. There is a 30 minute maximum for low heat, and I have to add time to it when doing large loads. I dry most of my clothing on low heat to prevent damage so the timer can be annoying, but it is a minor issue for us.

We needed a new dryer to replace an old broken one at christmas time. The week before actually. This dryer was under $300 and had good features for this low price range. Drys best on automatic and is much faster drying than the old one it replaced! It drys the load in it before the washer has new load finished when both started at the same time. Quiet operation too. Others complained of this dryer being noisy, I don't have any problem with this one. Runs smooth and well so far. It is on concrete floor in finished basement. All we did was level it well, and cleaned/hooked up the existing metal vent exhaust, and 3 prong wire. Less than 30 mins all done. Oh and we reversed the door too, easy per instructions, to fit our placement better. We're happy with it!
