Clothes always damp after first cycle
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Clothes are never dry on first drying cycle. Very disappointed with this purchase. Never any lint on lint trap. Concerned I might have a dud… as past the return window so I am unsure of what to do.

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.

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

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.

Terrible Initial Unit
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First unit was delivered with a malfunctioning panel and the delivery driver, who thought he was an electrician, said it was my breaker that was malfunctioning. All he had to do was open the dryer door to see that the light was coming on. It is incredible was is being passed off a "quality" service these days..I did get a replacement and that has not malfunctioned yet so I guess that's good.
