<b>PROS</b> - Sense mode for drying clothes which saves energy. - Has been reliable in our time of ownership. <b>CONS</b> - Relatively expensive compared to less featured dryers. - Limited color options. We have owned our Whirlpool Duet dryer for over six years. We bought this when moving into a house that did not have either a washer or dryer and we bought a matching pair of washer and dryer. Since then we have moved three times and it has continued to work great, even though I didn't follow the moving instructions. We bought the electric model, although there was a gas version available. Like it's matching washer it loads from the front. It has multiple modes of operation, the two main ones are a standard timed dry, and my favorite which is the sense dry. While the dryer is running, it constantly measures the humidity of the air. This allows it to only run the dryer for as long as it takes to dry the clothes, thus potentially saving a considerable amount of electricity during the years of ownership. There are three settings for this dryness factor, which are easily selectable from the front control panel. In addition it also has a wrinkle free mode, which means that after it has stopped drying, it will periodically tumble the clothes a little so that they don't get creased before they are removed from the dryer. In our six years of ownership we have not had any problems with this unit, which we purchased from one of the big box stores. As we have three young children, it is not unusual for us to run this three or four times a day. It is big enough that you can dry a king size duvet, saving money at a dry cleaners where you might have to normally have that cleaned. It does come with a kit which allows you to change the door from a left to a right hand swing. All in all, we are very happy and impressed with this purchase. This is definitely a five star dryer.
