Ratings & Reviews

Rated 2 out of 5 by carmic74 from second review, poor design update This is my second review. I thought I'd check through them to see if the product is getting better reviews. I am an architect and need to specify ventless dryers for many projects. You may notice a pattern of reviews - all positive reviews are followed by 'won sweepstakes, product...' All negative reviews do not get free product :) I followed up with Whirlpool after my negative review thinking they could help since they sent such a nice response. But there is no broken part, no technical issue, it is just a matter of a very poor design. They only way I can get my clothes to dry every time is to clean out BOTH filters. The main one, but also the bottom filter. You have to clean it EVERY time. You have to wash the spongy thing every 5th time, sometimes more. But the stupid part of the design is that the lint gets trapped in the space behind this bottom filter which prevents the coil from functioning. So, you must also stand on your head and clean off this screen with your finger and compressed air to get the lint off that screen so the coil can function. I'm crossing my fingers the spongy thing never tears because they don't sell a replacement. And you also can't put it in wet, so remember to wash it and let it dry before you need your washer!! This could be a great dryer if Whirlpool took the time to listen and redesign this product and provide better customer support.

Rated 1 out of 5 by angeldjac from BE PREPARED TO WAIT!!! I bought this in February 2018. I needed a compact set and while I love the look and features of this set, i HATE that it takes TWO HOURS to dry one average sized load of clothes. Add more time if you are trying to dry a load of 3 or 4 bath towels!!! UGHHH

Rated 1 out of 5 by LePug3 from Does not dry even with extended time This was the ONLY unit that would fit in our new construction townhouse. Even when the drying cycle is run the 2nd time, it does not dry the sheets! I have to take them somewhere else to dry. I can;t wait to replace it with a unit that works/dries, even if I have to renovate the laundry room. It was expensive so having to save up but it WILL be replaced.

Rated 1 out of 5 by TotalDisbelief2 from DO NOT BUY! WARNING: BAD PRODUCT We bought one of these a year ago to fit a tight space, which it did, but it broke about a month after first use. Customer service was a nightmare (described below) although we eventually received a new model. Now, that too is broken, and we are once again at a laundromat, while our shiny new dryer sits broken at home. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT! Re customer service: we got the run around as we had to let whirlpool technicians into our home to attempt repair. Several times we took off work just to have them not show up. When they finally came, they did not know how to fix the error code (fo1). For months, we spent precious night and weekend hours at a laundromat. And with the second broken model, here we are again.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Adguy34 from This Machine Doesn't Dry I've done 5 loads of laundry in this brand new machine and it DOES NOT DRY the clothes. I was thinking something was wrong with the machine. But then I read the other reviews and see that I'm not the only one that can't get a single bed sheet dry. I love the look of this dryer and the idea that it's so small, but I can't have a dryer that doesn't dry! The washing machine works great but they both have to go back if they can't fix this dryer!

Rated 1 out of 5 by CheebaJ from DO NOT BUY we bought this compact dryer of few mouths ago and now it will not start the cycle now. had a "whirlpool " tech come out and and siad it was the the ACU and i would have to replace it for around $600 so I didn't have him fix it. started doing research had the ACU checked out it was fine. I found out the it was the IU and the part is out of stock. So now trying to remove it from the control panel but can't get the the select knobs out & no help from Whirlpool. customer service sucks.

Rated 1 out of 5 by MG95112 from Broken after 13 months, $500 to fix Unlike many of the reviewers, I actually really loved this dryer's performance. It's not comparable to a full-sized vented dryer, but it's much better than most compact ventless (especially condensing) dryers. As long as you don't overload it, it would dry things well and uses a lower heat that's easier on fabrics. The problem is that it completely broke after less than a year of relatively light use (laundry for only one person). I purchased it on 3/1/17 as part of a remodel that wasn't completed until July 2017 and it broke on April 22, 2018. Unfortunately, that's just outside the warranty, so I called to have it repaired. The control board is broken -- apparently a common problem, google "F01 error Whirlpool" or read the other reviews here. The part is backordered indefinitely and will cost approximately $500 to replace. That's more than half what I originally paid for the dryer, and for possibly months until the part comes in I have no dryer. I will never buy anything by Whirlpool again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by timamiller from Well pleased. My wife and I were concerned about a few negative reviews. This was the model that fit the space under our counter; and we decided to purchase anyway. I am gald we ingnored the reviews. This dryer works great. We are very, very pleased. It also holds a larger load than we though it would and the level of dryness is perfect - this is adjustable by the way.
