Product review (5 stars): An excellent dryer, without unnecessary bells & whistles
After a bad experience with my "state of the art" Maytag computer-called-a-dryer, I opted for simplicity this time. One knob (replacement cost for whole timer assembly $90) and one start button (replacement cost $8). Nice, clean look, inside and out. Was at first disappointed that there is no interior light, until I realized I don't need it-  the "mouth" is very large and it's easy to see all the way inside. The lint filter (on the top) is large and easy to use. Setup/hookup was simple and fast. This dryer is very quiet, and the heat control is excellent. I just dried several king sized sets of linens, following a very large load of bath towels, and the automatic setting on "eco" mode worked as well as it possibly could. Dry time was shorter than with the Maytag, and the items were cool to the touch when I got them out (the cool-down feature really works, and saves gas). With the Maytag, everything was always very hot when I removed them, telling me that the gas was on longer than it needed to be. This dyer is super-easy to use, holds very large loads (you'll never miss that other .5 cubit foot)is economical to buy and operate, and repair (if it ever needs it).

What you have to be willing to give up:
buzzer
LED telling you how much time is left
light inside the drum
1/2 cu. foot of interior space (compared to 7.0 dryers)

What you don't have to give up:
Quiet, efficient drying
reliability
simplicity- all controls are on one dial
multiple automatic drying cycles
three temperatures
timed drying options
a lot of cash- Extra knobs or buttons add $100+
name brand (like other identical models under different brand names, this is a Whirlpool)
