    Two sensors increase your dryer’s ability to measure moisture and temperature, helping prevent overdrying by automatically stopping the cycle when the load is dry.

    Take control of your time and the dryness level of your load. Set the control for 15, 30, 60 or 90 minutes when a damp load needs a little extra dry time or when using a drying rack.

    Fantastic Dryer!

    Purchased this dryer for our mom who moved into a new house. It’s everything she wanted and then some! Great features, easy to use and the control panel has sparkles mixed in which looks great and she loves!

    Amazing dryer!

    This thing is huge! It dries clothes quickly and has multiple temperature settings. It will dry huge comforters with ease. It also has a steam function for getting the wrinkles out.

    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.

    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.

    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.
