    Great dryer, Great Price from Best Buy!

    I love my new Whirlpool dryer, it works great and has a quiet operation with very low noise. The large opening with the light inside when loading and unloading is a huge plus, too. My best friend from college has a Whirlpool dryer and I was so impressed with its performance that I decided to purchase one for myself. The outstanding reliability, dryer performance and great prices from Best Buy influenced my decision. Best Buy offers great value with high quality products and I have been a dedicated customer for years.

    Finishes and Fluffs

    I’m thrilled with my new dryer. It’s easy to use, it holds a nice amount of clothing, it actually finishes the drying process within the time I allot for that load and they don’t come out hot but nicely fluffed.

    A Good Dryer

    I am content with this Whirlpool dryer. It's easy to use and does a good job of drying my clothes and towels. The lint trap is on the top right hand corner. It picks up lint as it is supposed to. The dryer will make a loud beep sound when the load is finished. When a have a full load of wash especially towels I put the dial timer on for 60 minutes. In my case, the fact that this dryer fits well in my hallway closet makes it an ideal choice. Also the cost of this Whirlpool dryer is not too expensive.

    Simple but powerful!

    This dryer, like its washer counterpart, really works extremely well for its simple design. Easy to use settings, large dryer drum, and easy to clean lint trap make this one of the best dryers Ive used. You can always go out and buy a $1000+ dryer with all the fancy settings and screens but they can never beat out something like this! Large blankets, large loads of towels, large loads of clothing, drys everything with no issue! Highly recommend for medium-large size families!

    So far so good

    So far it's working well as a good no-frills electric dryer, but I have only owned it for a week. Both the washer and dryer were dirty with black smudges when they arrived but wiped off well with a clorox wipe. The light inside the drum isn't the brighest but it's good enough, and so far it's drying my clothes well. I did a rinse cycle with vinegar in the washer and dryer balls in the dryer (moving away from chemical fabric softeners that always seem to ruin machines) and they were dry after about 45-50 minutes on medium heat and came out surprisingly soft, similar to when I used to use fabric softener. The dryer alarm is obnoxiously loud so I turned that off, and I have to take off a star for the balancing/adjustment feet not being preattached like the washer. If you look at the instructions they literally expect you to lay it flat on it's back to screw them in. This wasnt possible for us as we did the install ourselves and had the machines dropped into place in the laundry room, which was too small to lay it flat on its back and not possible to get in and out of the room. Instead we had to tilt the dryer back and kind of maneuver underneath it which was super inconvenient. You will need a socket wrench with a one inch socket to fit over the feet and get it done.

    Electric Whirpool Dryer

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this dryer several weeks ago and love the features of a light inside along with the hamper door which does not allow clothing to fall on floor.

    New model of a faithful Whirlpool model

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great dryer- just enough bells and whistles, dries my clothes well and is similar to a Whirlpool model that lasted for many years. I am so pleased with it overall. The buzzer at the end of the cycle is a bit startling, but I never miss it!

    Loud

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loudest dryer I have ever had. There is this constant buzzing noise coming from the dryer. My old dryer was never this loud. Need to put a muffler on this thing.
