Product review (5 stars): Energy-efficient dryer with modern features.
My 30-year-old Kenmore dryer (wow!) was on its last legs, so I researched on line reviews and Consumer Reports. The Samsung DV56H9100GG was well-regarded, but CR listed it as #1 which sealed the deal for me. I bought mine at Home Depot and they delivered it within the week.

I've been using my new dryer for several months and it is quite a step up over the old Kenmore. It is very quiet and energy efficient. Plus there are a variety of spiffy drying options that weren't there in the old days: a "Wrinkle Prevent" to keep clothes looking good if you can't get back to the dryer in time; "Wrinkle Away" for clean stuff that just needs a spritzing and tumble dry; a variety of settings for anything from light blouses to heavy towels and bedding, and an illuminated drum so you can see what you are doing. They even include a drying rack for tennis shoes, toys, etc., though I usually just stick stuff like that out on the back porch to dry.

The Samsung dryer is several inches taller than my old Kenmore, which makes me glad I didn't buy the pedestal that raises it off the floor; I don't think it would have fit in my available space and I certainly couldn't fold stuff on the top surface. In any case, check the dimensions of your laundry area before buying.

This Samsung dryer looks O.K. (shrug, it IS basically a big box) and appears well made. It sounds cute soft musical tones and tunes to signal different features. The "load finished" tune is rather long and resembles (to me) an 8-bit version of a "Pirates of the Caribbean" drinking song. ;) The lint trap is tucked on the door edge for easy access. Unfortunately, my new dryer door opens to the right and it appears to be a tremendous hassle--possibly impossible--to change the hinge direction.

This is a pricey critter and if I ever have a problem I'll post an update immediately. I doubt I'll get 30 years like I did with my old Kenmore, but this is a really nice clothes dryer. Five stars.
