Frigidaire Dyer - Electric Dryer - Gallery Series model# GLTF2940FE — 

I bought the Frigidaire Gallery Series Dryer at the same time I bought my Frigidaire Gallery Series Washing Machine. The dryer is the perfect compliment to the washer as it has the same elegant, sleek black look with silver trim. Sitting side by side they are the ultimate marriage for the laundry room. Just look at these features:

This Frigidaire Gallery super capacity dryer protects clothing from shrinkage with the auto Shrink Guard option. Shrink Guard overrides the preset temperature to prevent over-drying.

The Precision DryTM Moisture Sensor detects how much moisture remains in the fabric and shuts off the dryer when garments have dried to the cycle setting.

The Balanced Drying System circulates the air evenly, efficiently saving money.

The Dryer Drum Light lets you see when doing late night laundry.

The Press Saver Extended Tumble option gives additional tumbling at the end of the cycle to prevent wrinkles in case you can't get right to the dryer when cycle completes.

The End-of-Cycle Chime is loud enough that I can hear it upstairs yet isn't obnoxious sounding.

The five standard Temperature Settings of Casual, Damp Dry, Delicate, Normal and Permanent Press are adequate choices for about every fabric need. There is also a Timed Dry feature of up to 90 minutes.

In addition to the standard cycles you can customize your cycle with memory recall for large items, air dry, express dry, towels and sensor dry.

You can get an optional 15 inch drawer pedestal as well as an optional Stacking Kit but I did not get them. I am not interested in stacking the machines and I feel the pedestal is too expensive for what it is. The dryer came with an advertisement for a FREE accessory rack that you simply put int the dryer to dry delicates on. I ordered it but haven't used it yet. You had to pay postage for the free item which seems like they should have included it to start with.

One great additional feature of the dryer is that it has a reversible side-swing door so you can change the direction of opening depending on your needs.

I have been quite satisfied with the dryer. It is quiet, dries well and has enough options to suit my needs.

Fails to mention the possibility of rust in the drum due to the lining which is not stainless steel.

This sounds like a wonderful machine. Investing in something like this pays for itself over and over, you may get years of use out of it. Now I'm going to read about thw washer.

Hi, great review. Viewpoints has the capability now of making an inhouse url into a hyperlink. Type in at the bottom the name of the machine and highlight it. Go above the review and you'll see an icon on the left (where the bold is, etc.) and click it on. Then put the url in the box - voila - let me know if this doesn't work. It takes 1 second - a lot less than explaining it:~)
