This dryer is definitely an upgrade from my last standard whirlpool. It's quiet and has a lot of options. I wish it had a lock feature during the cycle so the power button wouldn't stop the dryer when pressed by accident or by a child in my case. Also the wrinkle reduction doesn't work half the time and sometimes the dry sense is off meaning clothes are still damp and need another cycle. It's ok but im sure there is better out there. Overall I'm happy with it for now.
