Features:
7.3 Cu. Ft. Capacity
The 7.3 cu. ft. capacity dryer offers enough space to care for loads from the Duet® washer with ease.
EcoBoost™ Option
The EcoBoost™ option saves energy by using less heat and extending cycle time. You’ll enjoy great drying performance while using less energy.
Steam Refresh Cycle
The Steam Refresh cycle uses water and heat to relax wrinkles and reduce odors from clothes in just 22 minutes. It’s ideal for those items you’d rather not rewash.
Wrinkle Shield™ Plus Option With Steam
Help keep wrinkles from setting into your clean clothes for up to 150 minutes. These models use the added benefit of steam for even better wrinkle-fighting performance.
Sanitize Cycle
Provides excellent care for your clothes while eliminating 99.9% of three common household bacteria without washing. Bacteria tested were K. pneumonia, staphylococcus aureus and P. aureginosa.
Estimated Time Remaining LED Display
Displays the estimated time remaining in the cycle, counting down until it is finished.
ENERGY STAR® Qualified
ENERGY STAR® qualified models exceed government standards to help conserve natural resources and save money on your utility bills.
Advanced Moisture Sensing System
Three built-in sensors read incoming air temperature and outgoing air temperature while monitoring moisture levels inside the dryer. This helps the drying cycle end when everything is perfectly dry, saving time and energy and helping to prevent overdrying.
Quad Baffles
Four baffles tumble clothes in a randomized pattern, allowing items to open up more freely. This helps increase the effectiveness of the dryer for small loads and promote better, more balanced tumbling.
Tap Touch Controls with Memory
The sleek Tap Touch control interface allows direct access to dryer functions and remembers your last cycle and settings.
Quick Dry Cycle
Quick dry cycle dries a small load in just 15 minutes.

It'll Do!

Recommended Product:
I bought the washing machine first which I just absolutely love. Later I got the matching dryer and have been using it for about 10 months. I find it complicated in some ways. In the beginning, just wouldn't dry my clothes all the way. I think it is too efficient. I finally had to take a good look at the settings and realized I had to increase the dryness level across the all settings by pressing firmly in on the Dryness Level button. I wished I saw how to use this feature earlier in the guide. Took 3 weeks of frustration to finally figure this all out. But after that, now everything dries pretty much on schedule. Now I am used to how it all works. I don't live in a humid area and dry small to medium large loads. The steam option is kinda of useless in my view. Only good for loads running longer than 60 minutes. Most of my items dry in 45 minutes or less. Like the easy to read display. This review is not part of a sweepstakes.

I had my first duet set 14 years and gave them to my daughter. Bought a different brand and after 3 months sold them and bought the duet series again. It features all the options I need from my delicates to my husbands who really works for a living! I love doing laundry again! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
