I have a newer, more advanced washer but opted to pair it with this dryer, which in my opinion lasted way longer than the more expensive dryer I had before. It's very powerful and dries my loads faster. I've never had an issue with it.

I love this dryer because it was small and compact and it fits great in small spaces. Load Capacity I liked the fact that even thought it was a relatively small dryer, the drum was huge and could fit a good amount of clothing at one time. That was a definite benefit to owning this dryer. Performance This dryer does a really good job drying clothes in a timely manner and also the heat settings are also really good with this dryer. I also like that there are several settings that are suitable for any type of clothing you may have. Ease of Use Super easy to use this dryer. I have not experienced any major issues using this dryer. The fact that it is straightforward and very simple to operate is a bonus, especially for those that are not very savvy in those areas. Durability It has held up pretty well considering the amount of use that it gets on a very regular basis. I also like that there is never any major cleaning that goes with owning this dryer, a bonus in my book. Design Simple design that will fit any decor.

I have not owned many dryers in my life, but the Whirlpool 6.5 cu. ft. Electric Dryer has never let me down. When first shopping for a washer and dryer for our new home, I questioned whether or not we should get something fancy with all of the bells and whistles. This machine is certainly not fancy, but it does the job well. It is easy to operate and maintain. Only recently have I noticed that the high cotton cycle doesn't get my clothing dry. I'm not sure if something is wrong with the wiring, so I haven't taken it in for repairs yet since the medium and low settings work just fine. That's what I normally dry clothes on anyway to preserve their fibers. The only other complaint is that the machine emits a ton of heat. In the winter, this is great, as it helps to heat up my house. But during the hot summer months, which is most of the year in Texas, it produces an immense amount of heat. Load Capacity Can handle huge loads

Our Whirlpool Electric Dryer has been great. We have had it for about 5-6 years now and have only had to replace a small piece for the timer. Other than that we have had no problems whatsoever. There are the normal settings for heat, and different clothing items. It is a pretty basic dryer compared to some dryers on the market nowadays but it does the job. Clothes are dried evenly and in an average amount of time depending on what you are putting in to dry. It is big enough to fit a large blanket so that is nice for bedding. Whirlpool appliances are great quality and we have been happy with all of our. We will continue to be one of their customers! Load Capacity Good load capacity, enough to fit a blanket. Performance Does the job of drying clothes evenly as long as you don't overload it. Ease of Use Super simple to use and to teach to teens or older children. Durability Great, ours has lasted about 5-6 years so far. Design Design is nice and simple, practical.

I absolutely love my Whirlpool Estate Electric Dryer. When we moved into our home we had to buy our own washer and dryer but didn't have a large budget. We found this Whirlpool Estate washer and dryer set for a great price and figured we would give it a try, not sure how well they would work or last since they were priced so well. It has worked better than I even imagined. Being a family of five with three children I'm always doing tons of laundry and this dryer has been nothing but great. It always dries my clothes well and doesn't take long. I like that it has 4 settings you can choose including: timed dry low heat, timed dry high heat, air fluff no heat and auto sense dry. The air vent is on top of the dryer and is very easy to clean out. The load capacity is huge, I'm always able to throw very large loads in the dryer and it has no problem getting the entire load dry in one rotation. The design is also very simple yet nice looking. The only thing that isn't ideal with this dryer is that it's not quiet, but that doesn't bother me. I would highly recommend this dryer to anyone who does tons of laundry and wants a dryer that works well for a great price.

This was my first dryer in my own home. When I lived with my Mother she owned a Whirlpool dryer and she recommended it to me when I told her I was looking for a reliable dryer. The Whirlpool Electric Dryer has been reliable and efficient in getting my laundry dry and it still being still being soft and fluffy. I have used this dryer for the past few years now and it has continued to successfully dry my laundry. Even the heavy stuff like jeans and comforters. This dryer still gets them thoroughly dry without having to re-dry them. I have been overall satisfied with this dryer. It gets the job done. Load Capacity This dryer doesn't hold a lot of large items at once but it is great for a typical size load of laundry. When I wash my comforters I have to wash them one at a time to make sure they are dry, but I have had to do this with other dryers as well. So it's exceptional. Performance This dryer performs beyond my expectations. It is consistent in getting my laundry dry and keeping it soft.

I have a dryer and washer comb set. The dryer drys clothes well and the vent is easy to clean. Although it isn't the fastest or quietest dryer on the marked it is an great value for the price. Load Capacity This dryer dries whatever I stuff in it. I can fit my comforter inside and have also done some at home dry-cleaning in it. Performance Occassionally i will stuff too much in there and have to run the dryer one and a half times to get all of the blue jeans or towels dry; however, I think that is an operator error and not a performance error. Overall this is a great dryer, I would recommend it to anyone just starting out on their own simply for the price alone. Ease of Use This dryer is super easy the settings are simple to understand and you can time dry or choose by how dry you need it to be. Durability I have had this dryer for a couple of years with no known issues. Design This design is great I much prefer it to a previous model I had with had a very small door. This door makes transferring a load easy a.nd drying larger items, duvet covers, curtains, large table cloths etc. an easy task

I wanted to like this dryer more than I did. I should've spent a bit more, as for appliances of this type, you generally get what you pay for. That said, I'm a little disappointed in the time of drying a normal load of clothes; this dryer simply does not seem to put out enough heat. I don't know if it is trying to be energy efficient, but if so they went a bit overboard. When you have to dry most loads 2 times, you lose all energy efficiency. It's like having to flush a low flow toilet 2 or 3 times to get the job done. Load Capacity This machine has great load capacity. Perhaps too much for the heat it puts out... this seems to be a little bit of a design flaw in the R&D department. Durability I haven't had it that long, but so far I have no problems. It has performed consistently the whole time I've had this appliance. Design A little on the plain and dated side in regards to design. That said, I'd take plain and dated over 'space-age' design any day of the week.

I got this dryer from my in laws. They used it for two years then gave it to us. After four years it is still working pretty good! I am very satisfied with it. It is a tadbit noisy but nothing that can't be ignored. Load Capacity It can hold a lot but doesn't dry it all in one cycle. It will hold my entire comforter set which is a major plus! Performance Majority of loads dry in one cycle. Sometimes I may have to dry towels and jeans another half cycle but it over all does good. Doesn't pull that much electricity. Ease of Use Very easy to use! All you have to do is select a cycle and length an press start. Only two buttons nothing else! Durability Have had it for four years and it hasn't needed a replacement party to. The lent trap doesn't hold lint as well but that's no biggie if you clean after every cycle like you should. Design This dryer has a very basic design. White only two buttons nothing that really "pops" but it still has a modern look.

We have been using this dryer for about 7 years now. So I guess I shouldn't expect the BEST performance ever but honestly I would opt to spend more money for something better next time. We have to dry every load of laundry 2-3 times to get it all the way dry. The dryer is not too noisy overall and it is nice that there are several different settings. We usually use gentle cycle because the other cycles are too harsh on the clothes (I have so many shirts with holes now because of our washer and dryer). The capacity is decent but don't try to overfill it (or you might be drying your clothes 4 times to get them dry). I do have to say that this dryer is VERY easy to use. You literally turn the knob to what cycle you want and push the start button. That simple. This dryer does seem quite durable as I said it's lasted us 7 years and still going. Just don't put belts with metal in the dryer. We did that and the paint came off inside the dryer. It's not a huge deal, but it looks terrible inside. Would not want to buy this dryer again.
