Disappointed in this purchase
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This dryer dries the clothes well but has a sloped design on top. You can't set things on there or they slide off, especially when it's running. You lose all that work space.

Whirlpool is excellent, But Best Buy is not.......
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.have a Best buy plus member account. I have several whirlpool appliances. They are very reliable and last long time. This is a replacement for a 12 year old whirlpool dryer. I gave one star due to incomplete installation and poor customer service. The steam dryer installation kit (smart choice) was included when I purchased. The receipt has steam kit and show it was delivered. When I tried to do steam drying I realized it was never been delivered and installed. Then tried to contact customer service number and I was told it was delivered with the dryer, they can't do anything about it. Then I went to the store where I purchased and complained about this. They told me they have to investigate about this, instead of apologizing for their mistake take immediate request to install the missing steam kit. If this is the way Best Buy treat customers I don't want my next purchase their. So far no response from the store. The delivery people are responsible for delivery of all accessories delivered and installed for full operation of the dryer.

Overpriced junk is all they make and sell tiday
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Appliances used to cost less and last 25 years. Now they are three times more expensive and last 6 years. 1 star for longevity and reliability. 5 stars for the rest.

Stopped heating up after 1 year and 11 months
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I loved this dryer when it was new. After about 8 months it started to take 2 to 3 times to dry a small to normal load. After 1 year it started to take 3 to 4 times to dry. As of today at 1 year and 11 months old, the dryer no longer heats up at all and we face a 200-300 dollar repair. Not really what was expected with regular cleaning/maintanance on a $750 dryer.

Don't buy
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Even on the "More Dry" setting, I would have to run it 2-3 times to get my clothes all the way dry. One cycle alone kept leaving my clothes wet, not damp dry, but wet. Also, similarly, with its paired washer unit, it has no display or indicator for cycle duration so you pretty much are waiting for its industrial buzzer to go off to know when it's done which with its useless dryness sensor could be who knows when.

Worst choice. Much regret.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is SO loud. Usually takes 2 cycles to get clothes dry. Plus if you buy this set, your out about $1800 and stuck with a bad dryer and a washer that doesn't work to the point of doing laundry in the bathtub! Lots of water waste! Lots of money waste! Or you can go to the laundry mat and have lots of time waste! Or something else. AND pay money for these which are essentially nothing but a "prop". PLEASE don't do this! I'm past my return date by 1 day as I been trying all sorts of combinations of products. I hate this so much.

Disappointed
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Disappointed that it doesn’t dry a full load very well. I I don’t know why I didn’t do my research on this before the purchase. I’m stuck with it until I can afford a new one. When you press the button to turn it on it also makes a cheap clanking noise.

Whirlpool sux
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is not even a year old and the noise it makes is horrendous. You have to leave the house it is so loud. The geek squad will not work on it due to Not being a year old and whirlpool won't send a tech! Told us to find our own. I will never purchase anything whirlpool again and not sure how I feel about the geek squad. This is ridiculous as we were not told this upon purchasing.

Piece of crap
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this dryer April of 2024. It quit working on me this morning! So I’m trying to figure out why it’s not heating. But a dryer that is a year old should not be breaking! Frustrating
