Overview

Description

Create customized cycles for your large-capacity gas dryer in a few touches for the right fabric care. A dryer's Sanitize cycle uses higher temperatures to sanitize items such as towels, while the Wrinkle Shield option helps keep wrinkles from setting into clean clothes. And to save energy, the EcoBoost option uses less heat while providing the same quality drying performance.

Features

AccuDry sensor drying technology
Two built-in sensors measure moisture and temperature levels to help prevent overdrying, and automatically stop the cycle when the load is dry.
Intuitive controls
Create customized cycles in a few touches with the intuitive controls.
Wrinkle Shield option
Help keep wrinkles from setting into clean, dry fabrics with the Wrinkle Shield option. It keeps clothes tumbling for up to 150 minutes after the cycle ends or until you open the door.
EcoBoost option
Use less energy while still getting quality drying performance with the EcoBoost option that uses less heat and extended cycle times for greater energy efficiency.
Sanitize cycle
The Sanitize cycle provides care for your clothes in the dryer while eliminating most of common household bacteria.
Quick Dry cycle
Dry a small load quickly, or customize settings to add more time. Plus, you can choose to remember your settings for your next load of laundry. (Based on a 3-lb. load.)
Hamper door
Easily transfer loads from the washer to the dryer and from the dryer to the laundry basket without worrying about clean clothes falling on the floor with this wide-opening door.
Gas connector and vent kit are sold separately and are not included.

Overall very happy with the drying of the unit. It's fast, quiet, various settings are useful and work well. The top has a sleek curve downward at the front and this aggravates my household. It's not a flat surface for folding clothes and they slide down and fall to the floor if stacked. Purchased this unit completely online and was not aware. Never seen a unit with this shape.

This dryer is great. My wife and I decided to upgrade our washer and dryer. We are both very pleased with this dryer. Ours is a gas dryer. This dryer has a good set of options for the different types of items. Its simple and easy to understand. My clothes dry quickly with no complaints. The only thing I've noticed is that if you dry on eco mode the dryer will use less energy and in turn less heat. The drying process can be extended a lot if you select this option to dry (40 mins or so). So I just dont select that option when I am drying my clothes and its perfect. I am very happy with this dryer and I would recommend this dryer to anyone.

We went with this dryer for a vacation home b/c it was the cheaper option, and honestly have been so happy with it. Works better than our more expensive LG unit at our main home.

The unit works okay; however, the gas line connection is incompatible with the gas line. We detected a gas leak having to call the Gas company to fix it. According to the Gas Company representative, there is a pattern of Geek Squads Techs using the wrong gas line connectors. I was charged about $70.00 to have it fixed. I will be requesting a refund for the gas line connection kit that came with the dryer.

Great Purchase! Was able to get cheaper with price match from local competitor. Unit is very quiet compared to what we had, and I love the digital controls. Only negative I have is that the eco boost setting adds more time to the dry cycle, and I would rather have less wear and tear versus economy. Overall , Great Unit and would recommend !
