About - GE DCVH680GJ[WW]
The GE DCVH680GJ[WW] is part of the clothes dryer test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, gas dryer models like the DCVH680GJ[WW] are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below. Drying performance: This score combines performance on three types of laundry loads of different sizes and fabric mixes: A 12-lb. load, predominantly cotton, representing a family's large weekly load; an 8-lb. load of cotton/polyester blend clothing; and a 3-lb. load of synthetic delicates, women's pajamas, nightgowns, bras and underwear. Capacity: Among the models we tested, drum volume varied from about 6 to 8.0 cu. ft. Convenience: For this measurement, we judged controls and ergonomics, such as ease of loading and unloading, servicing the lint filter, whether the door could clear a tall basket, and whether the machine has a raised edge to contain spills.

Features & Specs - GE DCVH680GJ[WW]
Stainless-steel drum A stainless-steel drum is likely to resist damage better than plastic and painted metal drums. Stainless-steel drum	No
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. Porcelain top	No
Drying rack The rack attaches inside the drum to keep items such as sneakers or sweaters from tumbling. Drying rack	Yes
Custom programs This feature allows you to save your favorite settings. Custom programs	Yes
Steam option Generally, a water hook-up is required with this feature. In this cycle, a small amount of water is sprayed into the drum while tumbling with heat. It helps to reduce wrinkles and odors, but is intended only for a few garments at a time. Steam option	No
