Easily keep loads on your schedule with the Wrinkle Shield Option which helps keep wrinkles from setting with continued tumbling after the cycle ends or use Timed Dry for extra drying time when you need it.

    Delivered on time and no damage!

    I helped my family order new appliances and everything was great! The dryer performs perfectly. I wish it was slightly quieter but it’s hardly notification. Definitely a me issue. Overall it performs perfectly.

    Works Well

    It works well. A few things I don’t like about it are the buzzer to alert you to a finished load is obnoxiously loud with no way to turn it down. It scared the crap out of me the first time it went off (it has been muted forevermore). The sensor doesn’t seem to sense when the clothes are still wet and says it’s finished. I really like the steam refresh setting.

    Whirlpool dryer

    I love this dryer. It has a variety of options to choose from so you can always find the right one no matter what you type of items you are drying. The vent being on the top of it instead of inside is really fantastic. So many things got tangled around the one that was inside my old one, taking a few minutes to unwrap and tearing some sleeves and straps as well. It's very quiet and the controls are easy to seecand use.
