After almost 50 years of laundry detail I knew what I wanted.  First of all gas beyond that I wanted knobs, no soft buttons that break down like my previous dryer.  I wanted a lint trap inside the door, not on top.  This dryer replaced half of a matched set front load purchased 12 years ago and I knew I was going to go back to a top load washer so I was looking for the dryer half of a set that met my washer list of requirements.  With a choice of a left or right opening door it further met my requirements.  My one, significant, drawback is that it is not a quiet dryer, less quiet than the 12 year old dryer I am replacing.  That given I just close the door to the laundry room door and all is well.  It is the noise level that gives this dryer a 4 Star rating.
