As a mom of 6 kids I need a dryer that can perform without hassle. We have had this dryer for over 2 years now and I use it for 10-15 loads of laundry a week! This dryer is a work horse and has held up nicely to our frequent use. We have this stacked on top of the matching Duet washer so my review is based on this factor as well. So please keep this in mind. Functionality: works great. It has multiple settings depending on your drying needs. Cool air for delicates. A longer setting for those bulky items. And a normal setting for those every day clothes. Space: We can fit a double load of laundry in this dryer and have fit a king size down comforter in it as well. The comforter takes 2 cycles to dry but it is rather thick and after the first load we have to pull it out and re-adjust it but with how thick it is I would probably have to do the same in a commercial dryer. Alarms: The alarm for the end of the cycle is pretty loud and annoying for us because we have the laundry room in the main portion of our home, so we shut it off and do not use it. However, if your laundry is in the basement I recommend it because you should be able to hear it throughout the house. Another feature this has is a damp warning alarm, if your cycle is running and your clothing is too wet to move on to the next portion of the cycle it will beep continuously so that you can adjust the load and add more time. I find this comes in handy with our larger loads. Filter Cleaning: Being that this is stacked for us, I use a stool to clean our filter. It has a pull out piece that makes cleaning easy. I have seen that some people have issues with cleaning theirs but to get inside once I take the screen out for cleaning I use a long metal round brush and it gets a lot of the lint from inside the dryer out and gets it off the intake panel as well. We haven't really had a problem keeping it clean. I clean the screen after every 1-2 uses and clean inside 3x a week. Overall I recommend this item.
