Frigidaire FASE7073LA Affinity, Front-Loading Electric Dryer, 7.0 Cubic Feet

By means of the Ready Steam technology, this freestanding dryer releases steam to help free clothes from un-appealing smells and wrinkles. The Moisture Sensor and Dry Sense are two of its features, which promise to dry clothes thoroughly according to settings. Its Energy Saver option claims to save you up to 35% of energy consumption.

Interior Features

13 dry cycles include basic programs like Normal, Heavy Duty and Delicates. The dryer's 4 additional specialty cycles are for special items like stuffed toys, pet bedding and active wear. Options like Wrinkle Release and Steam Refresh help smooth down creases on clothes.

Its 5 temperature levels include a no-heat setting for air-drying clothes, while the Sanitize option uses very high temperature to kill bacteria. Drying times can be adjusted between 15 minutes to an hour and a half.

The 7.0 cubic feet stainless steel drum rotates in about 50 times per minute. A lint filter and interior light are fitted right at the interior. An optional drying shelf can be purchased and mounted inside the drum.

Exterior Features

Sitting just on top of the front door is the dryer's Express-Select control panel. It has one-touch buttons and cycle-selection dials with easy to read labels. A screen is installed next to the dryer's controls to monitor remaining cycle time.
