Kenmore 81383 7.4 cu. ft. Front Load Electric Dryer with Steam Refresh

Erin Cagianello: The lint tray doesn't properly click into place and so clothing gets caught, then continues to spin into a knotted ball, often ripping or ruining pieces of clothing. It is a terrible feature. I tried purchasing a new lint tray for $20 or so to see if that would fix it but no. Just don't buy this dryer!

J. Ayoub: I'll pay a couple of hundred bucks more for a dryer that simply works every time. My clothes are always dry without being overheated with this smart dryer. No problems. I have four kids and absolutely no time to 'babysit' the machines, running them again and again if the clothes turn out damp. This machine has a real 4.5-5 star rating on Amazon - not a phony rating. All the dryers and washers sold on Home Depot or Lowes are allegedly five stars, but they're not truly great in real life. It's like these stores now have professional reviewers give phony 5-star reviews on machines that don't quite do the job, because they've learned that consumers just go by the star rating and price. Amazon's verified purchase reviews are more genuine, and this dryer is one of Amazon's top rated machines in *real* life.

Melinda May: Ive had this set - I also bought the matching washer, for 3 months now. So its early to speak of longevity but I believe this is the best washer and dryer Ive ever owned. Hands down worth the money. I researched on consumer reports and feel I bought the best washer and dryer on the market. The washer gets clothes clean without being overly wrinkled like the last top loading agitator free machine I had. Both washer and dryer have so many options. I can wash and dry huge loads. Im not wasting water. Theyre quiet. I read a bunch of reviews complaining of black mold in the soap dispenser - never have had it. I open the soap dispenser and lid after a wash and it drains and air dries with no problems. I pray these machines last for years because I am well pleased!!

Carrie: This washer is awesome! It is very large inside and I can fit twice as much as my front loader! The big win for us is that our clothes smell fresh! Some reviewers noted that the clothes wrinkled when washed and they do a bit, but I find those wrinkles come out when the items dry - air or in dryer.

Michael Davis: So far....flawless. All of the local appliance stores, Lowes, Home Depot, Best Buy, etc., were on two week delays for delivery. Our old washer broke the day we got back from vacation so, two weeks was not even an option. Cautiously, we made the decision to purchase this washer on Amazon who promised a 3 day delivery time. The entire process was seamless, order the washer, pick your delivery time on the day promised and wait.

Delivery: The delivery window was from 9am-12pm and the delivery truck got here at 9:20am. They had the new washer hooked up, running and the old washer loaded onto the truck in a matter of 20 minutes. Very professional and courteous.

Washer: So far, the washer is working great. Huge capacity and relatively quiet compared to our previous washer. I've read other reviews here where people complain about how loud it is and I'm not quite sure what they expect. A washing machine is not like a newer dishwasher that runs "whisper quiet". It's a large appliance....clothes and towels get heavy when they are wet....this will inevitably produce decibel levels that are somewhat high.
