I needed to replace my Electrolux washer, so I got the matching steam dryer, even though my old steam Electrolux dryer was still working. I was nervous the entire drum is not made of stainless steel like the old one, but instead only the cylinder part is stainless steel while the rear is painted metal. However, the new dryer dries beautifully. I can chose how dry I want my clothes, and they come out perfectly! So much better than the old dryer.
