Whirlpool 7.4 Cu. Ft. Electric Dryer (YWED5620HW) - White

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this dryer recently and it's such a pleasure. It is a big difference from the other dryer of which was not very old but had broken down 5 times in as many years. the quietness and handling of big loads of towels makes me and the grandkids happy. My granddaughter commented that she sleeps better because of how quiet the dryer is. I feel and hope that this dryer will serve my family well for the next 20 years like appliances use to back in the day, I am confident because of the reputation of whirlpool products. My son commented on the design saying that he can put a basket of clothes on top of the dryer without blocking the controls.

The front panel has stopped working four times since 4/18/19. The panel was replaced two times while covered by the warranty, and I was never offered another option. I am convinced I have a faulty unit or that the design is flawed because it allows moisture from the wet clothes to get into the panel. When this happens, the panel shuts off and the dryer continues to run until it is unplugged. The panel will not turn back on once this happens, so now that my warranty has ended I will likely have to buy an entirely different dryer despite only having owned this one for just over one year. I have never been more disappointed with a product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've had Whirlpool washers and dryers for over 10 years. When we bought this new set, functionally, it was good. A couple of things: 1. The face of the appliances look more like cheaply-made flimsy plastic with the same appearance and feel on its sliding drawers for detergent, etc. 2. A little annoying with the "Start/Pause" button and the need to push and hold while waiting for a 3-2-1 countdown to start the machine. This, in my opinion, is unnecessary and cumbersome. Other than that, the set does a good job. Just keep the Whirlpool name on the cutting edge and don't resort to cheaper, flimsier materials and workmanship PLEASE.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased this dryer because my original Duet dryer finally gave up the ghost. It is basically the same dimensions as the Duet, so it fits in the space we had. The dryer itself is very nice and easy to use. We are happy with it. A few things we don’t care for are: 1. There is no internal drum light that comes on when we open the door - our Duet had that. 2. The “Eco-Boost” feature always comes on when we start a cycle. That makes the dryer run a longer time and the clothes do not dry completely. We have to consciously turn off “Eco-Boost” before every cycle…kind of annoying. But like I say, we are happy with it. Thank you.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just bought this dryer a month ago. Had a different Whirlpool dyer prior to buying this one. Had it 22 years. It lasted along time so we bought another one. (We bought a new one not because the other one broke but we thought the new one would be more efficient). This dryer has so many options in it. Easy to use. Drys clothing and even a big king size comforter with no problem. Love the wrinkle guard feature. If you forget or did not have time to remove clothing right away the dryer starts at different times and tumbles so there are less wrinkles. Love this dryer. Happy with the purchase. Hope this one lasts 22 years too. Haha
