Product review (5 stars): Never going back to a conventional dryer
Why all the griping about this dryer??  I was forced to buy a condensing dryer after buying an historic home with no dryer ventilation.  Based on the  reviews, I was braced for the worst; my experience has been the opposite.  This dryer has been in use almost daily for 15 months with no problems at all.  Drying times may be slightly longer than a conventional dryer, but my clothes emerge virtually unwrinkled-- I would rather wait for a dryer than spend the time ironing.  I've also noticed that this is gentler on fabrics than a conventional dryer.  My daughter's hard-worn, frequently washed clothes look newer longer without the "baking and battering" of a conventional dryer.  I like it so well that I would buy it again even if I did have the option to use a conventional dryer.
