Purchased as an “upgrade” from our old electric dryer. All research indicated long-term savings using more efficient gas drying, even though upfront cost would be more than an electric replacement. The product aesthetics are great, the color and layout of controls is very nice. The addition of “steam” capabilities is nice for athletic clothing, sanitization, and the occasional wrinkle removal assistance. We also liked the ease with which we could swap the door opening direction. The drying efficiency, going from electric to gas, has been unnoticed, which means we gave up nothing to make the switch. Overall, we are very pleased. The additional WiFi features make keeping up with our laundry cycles a breeze.
