It works fine. We're not really friends yet. I don't think it is very hot, probably an energy saver thing, because it does dry nicely. I think the filter is harder than it should be to put back in, probably because it is tight to prevent leaks or help in some way, but hard for me none the less. And I think the turn nob is hard to control. Hard to start it turning...it is spongy, I have to really work to start it moving...and then it is hard to stop accurately. I liked the easy turning and  ratcheting so I stopped right where I wanted to, on my last dryer - think it was a Maytag.
