This dryer replaced our previous Electrolux that served us for 15 long years. With infants, toddlers, dogs, cats, and parrots, there were no less than 2 loads a day. It worked without a hiccup, never had a repair. So far this new one is coming up at a year and it too has been working seamlessly. It is very quiet and very steady. It fits easily a king size feather blanket and delivers it dry and fluffy.
