Rated 2 out of 5 by eolson from Disappointing I bought this and accompanying washer to replace a Maytag stacked unit that I loved. The dryer is LOUD. After running about 10 minutes it quiets down. I think the noise is because the sheet metal is rattling until it warms up and expands. I haven't been able to correct this. The biggest disappointment is that it doesn't dry anything on the first cycle. I've used it for months and have yet to find a dry pair of jeans after the first cycle. Running two or more cycles is standard at my house. In an effort to offer more features, I feel Whirlpool overcomplicated things. There are 6 What to Dry options, and 6 How to Dry options. All you need is Time and Temperature.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Whirlpoolfamily from Dryer sucks Dryer won't dry except on one setting. Venting is round straight metal dryer venting. Previous Whirlpool dried effortlessly until it broke down after 15 years. The dryer end of cycle alert tone is too low to be heard at highest volume setting. My wife and I have to keep running back to the dryer, clean the lint out of lint screen and run same laundry through more cycles. We wanted to get a washer soon but if this isn't working out with the dryer, we will have to look for a different manufacturer. SUGGESTION: COULDN'T WHIRLPOOL AND A $12 BLUETOOTH MODULE TO THE END OF CYCLE SIGNAL WHICH ALERTS ALSO ON THE PHONE.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Devery from Somewhat I bought one of your dryers. Didn’t have it for a week. Put clothes in it it would run for 20 minutes and stop.called Kings in Madisonville KY. They sent a repairman out. He tested it and told my wife there was nothing wrong with it. needless to say my wife was mad .You never tell a woman there is nothing wrong with her dryer or stove period. The repairman left and I called Kings and they brought a new dryer out. Guess what ?i It worked like a new dryer. your repairman know very little about fixing things. They are part changers. I suspect the timer was bad. If I was a repairman I would want to know this. Also he had whirlpool on the phone telling him what he needed to do. what a joke!

Rated 5 out of 5 by kwr327 from LOVIN IT I purchased this dryer recently and it's such a pleasure. It is a big difference from the other dryer of which was not very old but had broken down 5 times in as many years. the quietness and handling of big loads of towels makes me and the grandkids happy. My granddaughter commented that she sleeps better because of how quiet the dryer is. I feel and hope that this dryer will serve my family well for the next 20 years like appliances use to back in the day, I am confident because of the reputation of whirlpool products. My son commented on the design saying that he can put a basket of clothes on top of the dryer without blocking the controls.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Editor from New dryer a challenge I am 83 years old and I bought this Aug. 16 with a matching washer. We have small space, so we stack them in our kitchen. I had to buy a step stool to read the settings on the dryer and get to know them. It works fine, but all the electronics are taking some getting used to. I bought a matching washer that has yet to work. The Whirlpool team has been out twice and plan to come again Sept. 11. I just got back from the laundromat -- again. Brand new and get to wash anything. I am not a doddering old fool. I have run a weekly newspaper for the past 25 years full time. Unhappy after spending $2,000 on all this.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Ellie425 from Horrible! I bought my dryer in September. Already I’ve had a technician come to repair the dryer TWICE. The 1st time the panel would make a weird noise and had moisture inside of it. The 2nd time the panel just stopped working altogether. Well today the dryer has been on for 2 hours so when we went to check on it, turns out none of the buttons will work and neither will the panel. This is getting ridiculous. At this point I hope Whirlpool will just replace my entire dryer when we contact them tomorrow morning.

Rated 4 out of 5 by ERW3 from Great Overall but... We've had Whirlpool washers and dryers for over 10 years. When we bought this new set, functionally, it was good. A couple of things: 1. The face of the appliances look more like cheaply-made flimsy plastic with the same appearance and feel on its sliding drawers for detergent, etc. 2. A little annoying with the "Start/Pause" button and the need to push and hold while waiting for a 3-2-1 countdown to start the machine. This, in my opinion, is unnecessary and cumbersome. Other than that, the set does a good job. Just keep the Whirlpool name on the cutting edge and don't resort to cheaper, flimsier materials and workmanship PLEASE.

Rated 5 out of 5 by SinglMom from Very Smart Machine This washer was mid-to-lower priced in the selection of front load washers at my local BestBuy, but it is a master at cleaning. My previous machine was the most expensive Maytag front loader, and this machine beats it by a mile. First of all, it's American made, and by purchasing this, I know I supported a family on my home continent to put food on their table. Second, I don't have to think about measuring the detergent, because I just pour it into the bin at the bottom for Load-N-Go. Lastly, it handles all my clothes nicely and leaves them very soft and like-new. The washing rhythms are very easy on my clothes and towels. Everything comes out wonderfully clean.

Rated 5 out of 5 by J&SG from Awesome dryer Just bought this dryer a month ago. Had a different Whirlpool dyer prior to buying this one. Had it 22 years. It lasted along time so we bought another one. (We bought a new one not because the other one broke but we thought the new one would be more efficient). This dryer has so many options in it. Easy to use. Drys clothing and even a big king size comforter with no problem. Love the wrinkle guard feature. If you forget or did not have time to remove clothing right away the dryer starts at different times and tumbles so there are less wrinkles. Love this dryer. Happy with the purchase. Hope this one lasts 22 years too. Haha

Rated 4 out of 5 by Robin from Excellent for all but larger, bulkier items The good: the dryer is surprisingly quiet, looks great, and dries my clothes and sheets to perfection. I’m happy with it in every way so far in that regard. The one significant flaw and reason I can’t give 5 stars is no matter how long I put my Queen comforter in, it automatically shut off with it still too wet to use. I tried three separate settings (towels, bulky and regular) and kept restarting the dryer but the sensors for some reason kept overriding the additional time and continued turning it off. Still happy and will just need to plan on only drying to damp for that one item, but if you have many comforters to dry I’d probably not choose this model.
