About - LG DLEX3875[ ]
The LG DLEX3875[ ] is an electric dryer available from LG. The DLEX3875[ ] typically costs $1,049.99. Consumer Reports recommends that you match the features on a model to the needs you have. Here's our take on some of the specifications and features that are commonly available on electric dryer models like the DLEX3875[ ]. Stainless-steel drum: A stainless-steel drum is likely to resist damage better than plastic and painted metal drums. Porcelain top: A porcelain top resists scratching better than a painted one but generally adds to a dryer's cost. Painted tops, far more common, are often quite durable with normal use. Drying rack: The rack attaches inside the drum to keep items such as sneakers or sweaters from tumbling.

Comment:

This dryer is awesome. I love that I can use the wrinkle guard after it finishes drying so it will continue to tumble my clothes for up to 8 hours! I can steam dry-clean items to 'refresh' them. I also use the steam on items before I iron them to make ironing easier plus alot of items don't even need ironing!! Fabulous dryer - almost makes laundry fun.

How long have you owned it:

More than six months

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
