Pretty Happy
||Posted .Owned for 3 months when reviewed.My choice of washer and dryer was entirely dictated by the depth of the units due to limited space. This dryer is called a “flat back” dryer and it is optimized to still have a generous drying capacity while minimizing the footprint. Even though the cost for the set was more than $1400, it is a very basic set. Even placing a bag of groceries on the top of the dryer causes the metal to flex. And the dryer door requires a slam to get it to close and it sounds cheap and tinny when you do. But this dryer meets my two highest requirements, it fits in the laundry room and it gets my laundry dry, including king size linens. My last Whirlpool set lasted 27 years, I’m hoping to get a long service life from this set.

Q: QuestionIs this considered a long vent dryer. If so why isn't it in the description?
Asked by Tw.
- A:Answer Have no idea what a long vent drier is. The vent tubing and attachment ring needs space between the wall and the drier. The vent on the drier is located in the back and the bottom of the Electric Drier. The delivery people from Best Buy did the installation. Very happy with the installation people.

Q: QuestionIs there a way to turn off the annoying buzzer? There is no button on the front. I seen were you can remove a black wire from the timer and it will stop it from buzzing.
Asked by mugsfrank.
- A:Answer You can turn the cycle knob to off. (It is the same knob you press to start the drying cycle. You may still get one buzz when the clothes are dry.
