Product review (2 stars): Short Lifespan
We had the dryer just over two years.  Although it worked okay, it seemed to take extended periods of time to get things dry. When drying four standard size towels, it would sometimes run for 4-5 hours on the heavy dry setting. Even light cotton t-shirt loads seemed to take longer than a standard type dryer. Recently, the dryer has started making a horrible squealing noise that sounds like a bearing is going out.  Naturally, we're just beyond the 2 year warranty period.  Most of the time it was just laundry for two but sometimes the kids would come over to do laundry so it didn't get extremely heavy use.  We were lucky that we got this on a steep discount or I'd be more upset about it dying.  If you want to know if I'd buy it again, the answer is yes, but only if we hit the major discount we did before.  At the current listed price of $249 for refurbished, no way.
