This huge capacity LG dryer replaces my 45 year old antique. My wife and I have been enjoying it for a couple months now, and it works great. 45 years of improved technology provide improved efficiency, which means lower operating cost. Things like improved moisture sensing and a program that briefly tumbles the cloths with air, before turning on the heating element help to save money. And it has an smart phone interface with which I can call up special cycles or even be alerted when the clothes are dry. My wife was particularly pleased by the dryer interior light, which our 45 year old model did not have.
