Rated 5 out of 5 by Victoria from Beautiful, sylish addition to my laundry room I ordered this dryer and a matching washer to November 2020, knowing they were on back order until Jan. 1. I finally got the dryer delivered; today, in mid-February 2021, I'm still waiting for the washer. The dryer is sleek and stylish. I love the different settings and the ease in using each of them. I appreciate the audible warnings to remove or rearrange the laundry load. I wish the top were completely flat and horizontal, rather than angled down, to allow a temporary resting spot for detergent. The top is pristine. To avoid scratches, I added a quilted pad on top. It has a spacious capacity for the biggest of comforters and is quiet when operating.

Rated 5 out of 5 by gwoodle from Think’s For You My 20yr old Whirlpool Dryer broke down after many years of perfect drying, had repair one time in that 20 yrs. I personally would not go with any other brand, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Picked this new Whirlpool 7.4 cu ft electric dryer with intuitive controls. At first I thought I’m not sure about this having to set the controls to what I want, but what I didn’t know, it remembered my settings and programmed itself to my settings. Love this and it has a very good sensing to how dry, but not too dry you want your clothes. One more thing, my clothes come out with absolutely no wrinkles. You cannot go wrong with this dryer.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Cheryl2021 from Dryer is great, customer service is horrible! Have not had issues with dryer, but had issues with the washer. We bought an extended warranty through Whirlpool and they won't fix! When you call, you're on the phone for hours at a time, get hung up on, they won't call you back or deal with the issues at hand. When scheduling service call, they're 6-8 weeks out, order parts that take 4-6 weeks to come in, part comes in and service person comes out to put in...and they ordered wrong part. So we're another 4-6 weeks waiting on another part. :( So, we've been without a washer for 3+ months now. Warranty & Customer service is absolutely terrible to deal with.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Carmen from 2months old and already had to replace the drum I bought this dryer brand new 2 months ago. It is so loud and does not dry clothes they come out damp. The service repairman came today and said the drum needs to be replaced. It is not even 2months old! He also told me it could take a month to replace. I called whirl pool customer service and said this is in expectable and I want a new dryer sent out. They told me I would just have to wait on the part. A month without a dryer is not ok specially when I paid for a brand new one that doesn’t even work. Would not recommend this dryer and the customer service you have to wait 40mins on hold just to be told they can’t do anything. Also the guys that delivered where high as a kite, broke my kitchen light and have yet to receive compensation for this.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Smiley519 from Great features and performance! I love the way our clothes come out of the dryer! No more wrinkles at all and they are dry in no time flat. The touch controls are wonderful and you have many options with them. I definitely recommend this dryer as so far, it’s wonderful!

Rated 3 out of 5 by Kwagatsf from Paint blemishes. Paint blemishes on my dryer also in two spots right out of the box. This is being missed at quality control. Also dryer does not heat to specified settings, having a tech come by to check on this.

Rated 2 out of 5 by SHol from Disappointing finish The finish on top of my dryer is mottled and distressed looking. In a chat with a Whirlpool rep, she explained laundry chemicals had damaged the finish. Isn’t it odd that the very tools I and presumably thousands of other buyers use to do laundry have damaged the finish? And that whirlpool is obviously aware of this defect because the chatting rep knew immediately what the issue was. Even odder is Whirlpool’s refusal to replace the top even though I have an extended warranty.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Nancy from Inoperable My new washer and dryer we're delivered November 3. The dryer stopped working after just a few uses. It took Whirlpool an hour and five minutes to answer my initial call. Service was scheduled, parts were nowhere to be found. The service company told me the parts should be in around Dec 3rd. We shall see. I purchased these on August 20. I don't know if I can even get a refund now. So frustrating that a brand new dryer quits working!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bob1 from Front Load, it works. I have not had long enough. I have had it for very short time and hard to make a determination.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Wildchild's pair from Noisy at first , but quiet now The dryer was clunking when it was running. Called customer service which was a 90 mins waiting hold, finally got through explain what was going on. They said that someone could come and look at it but if it wasn't a manufacturers deflect I would need to pay a $99 service call. But it was a roller which is fixed and it works great now and quiet . Bought the warranty as well.
