Comment:

This is great machine. Simple to use and does an excellent job drying our clothes. It is very quiet and the loads always come out dry. Easy to clean lint screen and the controls are straightforward and easy to use. Just a good dryer without all the bells and whistles (that cost a ton to repair). We are very please with this machine.

How long have you owned it:

One-to-three months

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
