Keep laundry day running smooth using this large capacity dryer with a flat back design that fits into tight spaces like closets or small utility rooms. This top load dryer has enough room to easily handle large loads while also helping to reduce damage caused by overdrying with the AutoDry™ Drying System. Clothes stay looking good even after the cycle stops with the Wrinkle Shield™ option, which intermittently tumbles for up to 90 minutes after the cycle ends to help keep wrinkles from setting into your clothes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Dsaia from The Dryer you dont have to think about I'm very happy with this dryer because I always set it to automatic energy preferred setting and my clothes always come out perfectly dry and never wrinkled. I had my last whirlpool washer dryers for twenty years and they were still looking and running like new. But I gave them to a friend in need and replaced with new whirlpools. Same great construction, same great function, same great quality only simpler and more energy efficient.

Rated 4 out of 5 by smithie from Small size fits into our limited space We bought this over a month ago and it was out of stock on back order for five weeks. We were pleasantly surprised when it showed up earlier. We had small space in the laundry room so choice of dryer was very limited. I was surprised how much room it has in drying capacity. I guess that Whirlpool has to reduce the insulation to give maximum drying capacity, so this dryer is quite noisy. One thing we were not happy about was Lowe's made us purchase a foil exhaust pipe along with the dryer purchase. However, in the owner's manual, it said the foil exhaust pipe is a fire hazard. We called Whirlpool right away, but we never heard back from Whirlpool or Lowe's about putting back our original exhaust pipe which was made of metal.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Gets load dry quickly! I needed a gas dryer that would fit in my laundry room and was thrilled to find this one! Most of the newer dryers are much deeper and would have blocked the door into the garage. The fact that it was a Whirlpool was very reassuring. Every load I have done has dried much faster that expected.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Moose01 from A LEMON - washer not the dryer I bought almost 2 months ago and I haven't been able to use. A technician has been here 5 times changing the motor and other part, and it is still not working. Another tech will come out this week sometime. We did not bargain for a used washer and Whirlpool won't replace it. It's time to go to Small Claims Court! Tired of it and frustrated.

Rated 2 out of 5 by AnnQ from Whirlpool dryer This dryer is very noisy, it is tinny sounding, and it takes an extremely long time to dry your clothes. Definitely tried to return it, but was not able to do so.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Crisco from Just what I expected it to be. The only problem with this dryer is it is a little louder when running, compared to my previous Whirlpool Dryer. Will only buy Whirlpool products, as they last a long time with no problems. But I am sure that the cellar doesn't mind the slightly louder hum. LOL

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Good design, works well We bought this model to accommodate a smaller space and are happy with its simple controls and operation. It runs a little bit louder than our last dryer, but since its operation is efficient, it isn't on as long. We like that the lint trap is on the top.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from Whirlpool Dryer With it being only 26 1/2 inches deep I was able to put in my closet and be able to close the closet doors
