Very good but first spin scared me.
|Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Normal drying doesn't get clothes fully dry. Selecting a higher dryness fixes it. Honestly better for the fabric but wish it was a tad dryer at normal.

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far it is doing well. The steam function did not work as I thought it would for removing wrinkles but it may be my understanding of it that may be incorrect

Posted .Hi,
Thanks for your comments.
For ‘STEAM’ function to remove wrinkles or make wrinkle-free, you can follow below steps:
(1) Connect the water supply to steam valve with normal pressure, turn on the tap (see user manual page 27, 28)
(2) Select right cycle with ‘steam’ option (refer to user manual page 41, 42)
(3) Select ‘steam’ option with dryness level ‘normal’ or above (refer to user manual page

||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s ok it takes a while for it to dry compared to my old dryer.

I would recommend this to a friendDoesn’t Fully Dry
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.No matter what setting I use clothes come out with some surface dampness. Settings with the dry sensor will continue to dry, but eventually will turn off and the clothes will still have some dampness or surface wetness. I’ve run all different kinds of loads with different heat settings, always the same result. if you are the kind of person who leaves items in the dryer once the cycle is done, think twice. Your clothes are going to end up smelling like mildew because they were not fully dried. I would return this dryer, but I cannot afford to spend any more money on delivery and installation.

Posted .Hi,
First, thanks for your review.
1) Please refer to user manual page 41 and see the orange ring of program knob to find the sensor dry cycles, these cycles can be auto shut off early because the sensing cycles will dry auto complete depending on the dry load and dryness level selection, so it is normal for sensor cycles to shut off early.
2) Please refer to user manual page 47 trouble shooting the dryer shuts off before the clothes are dried due to small load and large load.
Great value and quality for the price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We needed a new dryer quick and considering the quality of it (used it for several weeks now) the price was a steal.
I would recommend this to a friendBuyer BEWARE
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.2 stars is being generous, received dryer January 20,2024 and June 20,2024 received error C9 on screen called for repair and needed to wait a week for someone to show up and was advised that the circuit board needs to be replaced and that won't occur until a week from today. Buyer beware!!! Item has been in my home 6 months and not used excessively, family of 3 and it's already broken. This is not a good start to a new dryer. I am HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED!!!
