- Dryer Rack dries the clothes without tumbling and noise. This is perfect for drying shoes and towels and clothes you do not want to wrinkle.
- Wrinkle guard feature prevents wrinkles by tumbling the load intermittently if you have not unloaded it yet.
- The stainless steel drums rotate without the slightest noise.
- Optional pedestals allow you to adjust the height of the dryer and allows you to adjust the height of the washer where it is comfortable.
- The various temperature options and 6 cycles make drying all sorts
of fabrics easy to do, whether you are drying a load of thick towels, pairs of jeans, and even delicate fabric such as silk and pashmina.

Advantages

This unit boasts of a lot of useful features all laid-out in an easy-to-use control panel. The unit is the right height for loading and unloading but those who want adjustments can purchase the optional pedestals that allow you to adjust the unit for easy loading and unloading. The unit also comes in two stylish finishes, white and ginger, which is a new Kenmore color.

Disadvantages

The unit often becomes too noisy with use. The rubber on the drum tends to disintegrate and this causes the noise. The machine also tends to heat up when left on for several hours, so keeping the small children away from the machine is important.
