Whirlpool Duet Dryer GEW9200LW0

I have owned a Whirlpool Duet Dryer (GEW9200LW0) for almost four years and love it. We purchased it at the time with the matching Whirlpool Duet Washer. The dry time on this thing is FAST! We have 4 children which means we have a TON of clothes to wash and dry and very little time to be sitting around waiting for the time to dry. We can literally wash a load and dry a load in just about the same amount of time (30-45 minutes or less) which translates into little to no time before the next load can go in.
The dryer is a front load so it was a change from the more traditional top load that we were so used to in the past. With that being said it was a bit difficult to have to bend over to unload the dryer when we first got it (I'm 6 foot tall). We ended up purchasing the pedestal bases that come with a pull out slide drawer and they are great. No longer do I have to bend over considerably and we also picked up some storage space for misc laundry supplies.
The dryer has many different cycles including a delicates cycle that works with the removable drying rack. Great for wife's knit sweaters and shoes. Also the dryer is extremely quiet to what we were using before. If we were watching TV or had company over we had to either jack up the volume or go to another room. Nowadays we barely notice the unit running.
Speaking of running, in almost 4 years of use and nearly daily use we haven't run into a single problem. Maybe it is a fluke? I sure hope not because this thing is great! If you were looking to buy a new dryer and your budget could accommodate the duet, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it.
Great dryer especially when working in tandem with the washer!
