It’s new on the market and I’ve only ran a few loads with it but so far I like it. I’ve only used no frills dryers in the past so its nice to have so many options like this one has. To me, it’s quiet, has been efficient in drying and looks nice and clean. I love that it has an interior light and a reversible door. My only issue so far is that I don’t like that the main, middle knob is harder to turn than the smaller knobs. 4 stars because its still sooo new and because of the middle knob.

I like General Electric products. My last washer and dryer by GE has lasted me around 15 years or more.

Simple function, just the right technology I want, it does dry up the clothes and the alarm can be adjusted to low or loud volume. Hopefully, it will last longer than the high tech. dryer.

Very basic controls. The finished drying Alert buzzer is very loud. Lots of room inside for a load and a half if needed. Quiet smooth operation. With 10 kids it's a commercial dryer value. I love the anti wrinkle tumble function when I need it.

Great dryer. Replacement for a 20 year old Sears Kenmore. I am pleased. Great customer service and installation. I'm spoiled by the old school Kenmore. I am hoping this GE will last a while. I always buy a warranty because you never know what may happen. Things that can be improved..
The timer knob has a lot of tension. That may be an issue to anyone with hand strength issues.
The door has to be slammed to close. I think that needs to be changed as it would also cause a person with strength issues a problem.

It is good if you don't receive a defective unit

My first order was delivered on 6/4. We used this machine for two days and noticed that the clothes weren't totally dry. We tested. We run the dryer in full heat for 80 min, and clothes weren't dry. We run another 80 min and still not totally dry. I felt heat inside, but it was not working. I contacted Best Buy and requested them to send someone for investigation. They offered return and replace instead.
I agreed and waited for two days to exchange the unit. After installation of the new one, I run the normal cycle with a load of wash. The new unit was working fine. I did not have to use full heat, nor timed dry. I run the regular running cycle.
I am sure the first unit was defective. I was reading the review and noticed that someone else had the same issue. Run it for 80 min but not dry.
I assume it is a good machine as long as it is not defective, although, if multiple people had the same issue, it is not a quality product.
I rated three stars with mixed feeling. If I received a good unit at my first delivery, I probably would have rated it 4 or 5 stars. Knowing there are defective products out there, I can not give it more than 3 stars.
The manufacturer should collect what they had shipped to Best Buy and re-test each unit. Defective units should not be out there wasting people's time.

Dries everything evenly & not wrinkled. Basic & works great. No “sensors” that leave clumps of items still damp. I do have to slam the door a bit to close, not sure why.

It's not a fancy dryer, no digital panel, just knobs but it works great! No issues so far and we are a large family so this gets constant use. Will update if I experience any issues in the future.
