when initially drying my clothes, it actually took less time than with my previous dryer. i love that it has the steam dry option, the clothes come out soft and dry! i love the lint compartment, it is very easy to clean and convenient. the drum is bigger than expected and very quiet upon using. it is great it has the wifi option, because you can keep track of your crycles on your phone, and even on your Samsung TV, yes it notifies you on your phone and tv how your cycle is doing!
