I bought this model to match the washer.  I was limited in my choice because this was the only dryer pair that would fit into the small space in my home and that was the only gas dryer of that side that vented from the side.  It feels a little lightweight, but it has no sharp areas.  
The dial is easy to set, and it moves as it progresses through the cycle so I can see how much longer it will run.  It also has a buzzer when the cycle has finished.  The filter is small, but sufficiently easy to clean/
