Customers are saying

Customers are enthusiastic about the ease of use of the 7.4 Cu. Ft. 36-Cycle Electric Dryer. However, a significant drawback reported by customers is that the drying time is longer than expected, with some experiencing overheating issues. Several users noted that drying clothes takes considerably longer than with a vented dryer. This extended drying time is a major point of concern for many customers.

  • Rated 5 out of 5 stars

    Great Product!!!

    I was happy to finally be able to receive my order, as Ventless 7cu,ft. dryers are rarely available. The delivery team was prompt with drop off and set up. The dryer has been a fantastic, exceeding expectations. The control panel and multiple settings are very intuitive and easy to use. But the best feature may actually be the lint trap. The design is easy to clean and is set to prevent long term buildup. Overall, I have been very pleased and relieved to finally have a dryer that can handle both delicates and bulky items. Great product!!!
