I have had my dryer for almost a year now. And I am very pleased with its performance. It is an energy savings dryer however, I have not paid any attention to the difference in the energy cost on my utility bill. But it is a pretty solid product well constructed and very durable. Its drying ability works great. It dries my clothes completely without the need to restart. It is quiet during tumbling and what I really like is that it gets the wrinkles out of my clothes. It is completely reliable. It has many different drying cycles such as delicate dry, heavy and big loads, and fluff dry. It is even large enough to dry my king size comforter. Another very handy feature is the flip down front loading door. It makes loading and unloading your clothes much easier. Compared to higher end dryers this dryer has many of the same features and functions and it performs as well as high end price dryers but with a reasonable price tag. I would definitely recommend this dryer based on its high end dryer performance, its sturdy construction and its reasonable price.
