ELECTROLUX ELFE4222AW FRONT LOAD ELECTRIC DRYER White

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This dryer works well and is perfectly sized for drying the amount of clothes that you can get from the matching washing machine. My laundry room is small and a combination hallway to my garage, so I chose compact laundry units in order to create a mudroom space. I stacked this dryer on top of my washing machine by using the pull out shelf/stacking kit. With these compact units I have gained a lot of space in my laundry room without having to sacrifice much capacity or convenience. This dryer is different from typical dryers because it does not vent outside and it condenses and collects the moisture from the load of laundry being dried. The moisture is either collected in a water bin which will need to be emptied or directly drained to plumbing depending on how it is connected. If you choose not to directly plumb it you will need to dump the water bin at the same time you collect the lint from the screen. There is a moderate amount of warm air that emits from the dryer when it is running, so if it is located in an enclosed space, the door will need to be opened to let the air circulate. Clothes take a slightly longer time to dry with this dryer, however it is a more gentle and even heat dryer so items do not shrink or get ruined due to the high temperatures. I feel that the slightly longer drying time is a benefit when compared to standard dryers that tend to ruin clothes and are less energy efficient. This dryer is not louder than any other tumble dryer and it is possibly quieter even with the woosh of air emitting from the bottom of the unit when it is running. It has many cycle settings and simple timed setting so that you can get the right amount of dryness; it also has a favorites setting that you can program exactly the way you like to dry most of your loads of laundry. This unit will need a dedicated 30amp 220volt connection that it typical for electric dryers, however the added bonus is that it has a 110volt electrical outlet to power the washing machine, thus making the 220volt the only electrical connection needed for the laundry pair. I love that this dryer has the right setting to get my clothes perfectly fluffy and relatively wrinkle free. My clothes seem so much fresher and wear better since I've switched to this washer and dryer combination. If you need a compact laundry unit, this dryer performs well and helps extend the life of your clothing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just purchased an Electrolux washer/dryer apartment size. Very happy with it. They replaced Bosch pair which I would never buy again. Took so long to dry the clothes but with the Electrolux the timing is very good.
