Whirlpool WED9400S Electric Dryer

Pros: Dries clothes without excessively raising the electric bill, Surprisingly quiet, Easy operation
Cons: Stifling initial expense

In suddenly finding myself maintaining two homes, I have had the weird and wonderful experience of having more appliances to review and I've finally gotten around to doing that (the incentives work!). A few days ago, I reviewed my brand new Whirlpool ...

Pros: quiet, child lock, many cycles, huge inside, wrinkle shield, detects when clothes are dry
Cons: some plastic, full loads take longer than time displays

I bought this dryer along with the matching Washer. It is quieter than my old dryer but not as quiet as I had thought it would be, however, on the dryer's defense I'm not sure how quiet a dryer can really be. The inside is HUGE, I was amazed at the ...

Pros: Efficient, quiet and easy to operate
Cons: Expensive

This dryer is quiet, fast and easy to use. I have the matching Whirlpool Duet washer and I think part of my satisfaction with the dryer is that when clothing comes out of the washer so much water has already been spun out that the dryer can make quick ...

Pros: Does a good job drying
Cons: Door catches.

We purchased this with the washer, about a year ago. Also purchased the pedestal which makes less bending and easier to see if anything is left inside. We purchased the top of the line, and I'm surprised it didn't have a stainless tub, but so far, no dings. It may take a little longer to dry than our last one, but it has enough buttons to basically do anything you want it to do (except talk to you). The filter does a pretty good job, compared to some other filters I've seen. Not much lint gets on the "other" side. The only problem I have seen is the door catch. There are two locking catches, one on the top of the door and the other on the bottom, and of course the handle is on the right side. When shutting the door "normally", the catches will not interlock with the door. So you have to either really bang the door, or we have to take both hands and push on the top and bottom of the door to get it to close tight. There's gota be a better type of catch!
