Comment:
I generally like this dryer overall, however, a few things to watch for. I have found this dryer to be lacking in drying power with mixed loads. The sensor will allow the dryer to complete the cycle while some heavier fabrics are still a bit moist. I had to increase the default drying time (see manual) 15% to not worry about damp clothes. With loads of similar material, i.e. towels, wash rags etc., it does okay.
How long have you owned it:
Three-to-six months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
Use average 3 loads/week. Does nice job on everything so far. The ONE thing I do not like about it is the tiny metal pin in the top center of the door opening because it catches and snags things going into the dryer. Not a good place to put that door latch pin. Lint filter is very visible as a reminder to clean after every load, and is easy to clean. The felt-type material around the edges of the lint filter is a bit of a nuisance with pet hair, but it does a good job assisting the filter.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
