Whirlpool - 7.4 cu.ft Front Load Heat Pump Dryer with Intiutitive Touch Controls, Advanced Moisture Sensing - White

In an ideal world, I wouldn’t spend an entire month’s mortgage payment on a dryer, but if you’re looking at this unit, you probably don’t have many options. If you’re looking for a full size ventless dryer, this is literally your only option on the market right now. Other reviews point out that as a ventless dryer, it takes much longer to dry clothes than a traditional vented dryer (which is true). Other reviews indicated that it was loud, but I haven’t really noticed a difference compared to vented dryers I’ve had in the past. Overall, it does its job well and I’m happy with it, but if I didn’t specifically need a full size ventless dryer, I’d go with a much cheaper option. Also, when ordering, I didn’t realize that the dryer needed to be connected to a drain/water source in order to actually work, and neither did the Best Buy workers who came to set up the unit. We ended up getting a plumber to make an extra connection to our water line, but please keep that in mind and read the manual before operating!

Lifestyle changed to accommodate a ventless dryer. You have to plan ahead. Cant throw something in and have it dry in 25 mins. Plan at least 1.5 hours. We hang a lot to dry. Does job on not outputting a lot of moisture. Had to replace once just under 3 years. Had extended warranty. Dont purchase without it. Had to rebuy extended warranty for replacement. It was the largest ventless dryer we could find and are glad we made that choice. I avoid drying heavy garments due to cost of electricity.

I love my new heat pump dryer. First, you need to understand what you are getting with this dryer. If you are unfamiliar with heat pump dryers, do some research. I wanted a heat pump dryer because I live in a condo. Heat pump dryers are more energy efficient and do not blow air into your living space. Instead the dryer is connected to a drain. There is no vent. The drawback is that clothes take longer to dry, but it is also less harsh on your clothes. Now that I've used the dryer a few times, I really don't understand what other people are complaining about. I've never experienced my clothes not drying. It's takes longer, but they come out dry and the moisture does not go back into them if you let them sit in the dryer. The negative reviews about this dryer all seem to be based on misconceptions. This is the best dryer for condos because it allows you to fit a full size machine in a condo closet. You do not need extra space for venting. If you live in a condo with kids, then you need this dryer. Just understand what you are buying.

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!!!

TAKES LONGER than a vented dryer. Has 2 filters to clean. WILL make small room humid. NEEDS a place to drain. Make sure you get the hose with it. No one carries it but whirlpool.

We had troubel with this from the start and despite our warranty, Whirlpool just kept sending repair people who could not fix it and told us that the machines are junk. We basically dry for 20 minutes at a time and then have to stop and it often turns off entirely because the lint is a problem but you cant access the worst of it without taking the machine apart. JUNK. dont buy it -and it is definitely not a savings for the environment giving that it takes up to four hours to dry a towel .

Horrible - we bought this dryer in 2021 and since have experienced nothing but break downs with it. The unit had to be taken apart and repaired with new parts within 2 years of purchase. To this day it is unreliable - if you run a normal drying cycle, it is a gamble if you can run a second one in a row without the unit shutting off and refusing to start. Unfortunately the extended warranty has run out and so I am stuck with this lemon of a unit until it decides to one day stop working altogether.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is basically the only option for a heat pump dryer electric dryer. It’s pretty decent, takes abt an hour and half per load, sometimes need to add time dry because the sensor isn’t accurate. But it’s nice and big and best option for my apt.
