This dryer is basic. Not a lot of fancy settings but all I wanted was a machine to dry clothes. It takes at least twice as long as my old dryer to dry a load of clothes even on the hottest setting. I have the gas dryer and this machine does not get hot enough to dry clothes quickly. The tumbler itself seems to ball up the clothes so I have gotten used to checking on the dryer often during the cycle to "un-ball" my clothes.
