Better than I expected!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This wasn’t my first choice dryer but the one I wanted was backstocked for months so I went with this one instead and I’m so glad I did. It’s so quiet, unless you have the buzzer on to let you know it’s done. It has plenty of settings. It works perfectly and my clothes/blankets dried without any creases/wrinkles. I wasn’t expecting such a great dryer at such an amazing price. If you’re considering it, make the jump and buy it; you won’t regret it!
I would recommend this to a friend - Pros mentioned:Large capacity, Price

Has a lot of drying options and I thought the price was very reasonable . Best Buy delivered and installed it for free, that was a plus.

Dryer is great, Delivery and set up sucked
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The dryer is great, love that I can dry a king size comforter in one cycle instead of 2. I also like that the buzzer setting can be changed. Also there is a light inside the dryer. The one thing I hated was the delivery people completely destroyed the 26.99 dryer vent kit that I purchased to go on the dryer. I was told by my local Best Buy that I could detach , bring it back and set up another appointment for them to come redo it ( I ended up redoing it myself). This was from a Mid-Michigan Best Buy.

Great dryer, goes well with its companion washer.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had this for about 3 weeks and I like it very much. Not sure why more expensive dryers make a fuss over having moisture sensors. This dryer senses moisture and ends drying when clothes are dry! Or you can use straight up time or other. Anyway, it's quiet, works great, goes good with it's companion GE washer. Love it!

Great product.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm absolutely thrilled with this dryer so far. I have had the same dryer for 12 years, so this was truly an upgrade for me. I'm not into to much technology so this was perfect for me. It drys the clothes perfectly and it is more energy efficient.

Q: Questionwhich way do you turn the dryer setting knob (center knob). it is very hard for me to turn it either way.
Asked by cbrb.
- A:Answer Hi cbrb- Dryer timer knobs will turn in both directions (clockwise and counter-clockwise) when setting the dry time. Also, it is normal for there to be tension when turning the knob either direction. Keep in touch! Sue

Q: QuestionOld dryer removal?If I purchase a new dryer and install it myself will they haul away the old dryer? Thanks
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Not sure if they will haul away the old dryer. The delivery and haul away were included in the purchase. They require I purchase a new plug for the dryer. The delivery company was on time and extremely fast and professional. They attached the plug, vent hose, and switched the door to best suit our laundry room. They also tested the operation of the dryer and hauled away the old dryer. All in about 20 minutes.

Q: QuestionDoes this dryer have any noisy alarms that go off when the load is done? If so, can they be turned off so that do not alarm? Can the door be left open without an alarm beeping? Wanting to know about any audible beeps and ability to turn of. Thanks!
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer There are 3 volume levels for the alarm but I found that even the lowest one is too loud so I have mine set to “Off”

Q: QuestionWhy isn't there any lint on the collector after drying towels?
Asked by Geo130.
- A:Answer Hi Geo130- This is Sue at GE Appliances. Mixing "lint producing" fabrics with "lint collecting" fabrics allows lint to transfer to other garments, instead of being trapped in the lint filter. Separate lint producers (flannel, cotton knits, terry towels) from lint collectors (fuzzy, brushed fabrics, synthetic blends. ex. corduroy, acrylic blankets, children's sleepwear). Thanks for checking with us!

Q: QuestionCan this dryer's door be opened down to keep clothes being moved into it from landing on the floor? If not, is there another GE model that does? I'm looking to buy a W/D set, and am looking at the GTW465ASNWW. Thank You.
Asked by Ziesta.
- A:Answer Hi Ziesta - Thanks for considering GE! The dryer door on model GTD42EASJWW/GTD42GASJWW opens left to right (the door is reversible). This allows for easier access when loading/unloading. We currently do not offer a model that has a door that opens down. We’d love to have you in the family. Keep in touch at GEAppliances.com. Sue

Q: QuestionWhat is the drum material? The specs say "other".
Asked by EricaE.
- A:Answer Hi EricaE - The dryer has an aluminized alloy drum. This long-lasting, durable alloy finish on steel provides an improved appearance over painted drums, while also being more economical than stainless drums. Keep in touch! SUE@GEA
