Eco friendly with a scale to show the most efficient drying cycles • Cuts the drying time • 'Damp dry' feature is good
It's many features with optionallevels of drying and is ecofriendly with a scale to show the most efficientdryingcycles.
The dryingcycles are perfect.
I can dry a fullload of towels in 40 minutes.
For example, if you've a mixedload of light and heavyitems, you can select the dampdryfeature and remove your lightitems so they don't become overlydry.
Seems to workwell,dry quickly and be efficient.
I love the dampdrysignal.
Cut my dryingtime down tremendously.
It drys very well and I rarely have to add more time because something isn't quitedry.
Some dryers won't dry a largeload of towels in one cycle, but this one does.
:-)The tops are sloped toward the front so itemsplaced on the toptend to fall off.
I like to fold my laundry or store my laundrybaskets on top, but I can't!.
This washer and the matching dryer have a slantedtop.
The only thing I dislike is the slanted top- so you can't use it to store a laundrybasket.
This makes it difficult to set a laundrybasket or anything else on top without it falling off.
The only problem I've encountered is with the top of the unit, it slopesforward so I've a problem with things falling off and onto the floor if I forget and set something on top of the dryer.
I'm unable to store anything on top of the dryer because it'd slideright off.
Its features make it easy to use . The one drawback is the design of the top which is raised in the back and slopes downward.
I liked most of the featuresexcept the top of the dryer.
