We do many loads of laundry in our household, but for me the testament of a good dryer is how well it dries a comforter. We wash our comforter once a week and would prefer not to have to wait hours for it to dry. We wanted an efficient dryer that dried our comforter and heavier loads in one dry cycle.  We have a cal king so this was an important feature to us. I can safely say this unit dries our comforter in one cycle! Yay!  The design in my opinion compared to others is pretty simplified or minimalistic, which I am okay with. I was looking for performance. If you are in the market for a dryer that excels in performing efficiently look no further this is the dryer for you.
