When I  first started researching dryers I knew that I wanted to stay with a company that I trust and had experience with. GE was one of the top 3 that I was looking into. After reading some other online reviews about this model I finally decided on it. I am glad I did! The dryer is so quiet and has an abundance of features that I can utilize and optimize based on the different loads and fabric types I wash. I've done about 15 cycles so far and the dryer has been nothing but awesome.
