Advantages

One of the advantages of using this electric dryer unit is that it has a large loading capacity. With its 7.4 cu. ft. capacity, it can dry up large loads.

Although this dryer has large loading capacity, it does not really take so much space because it is stackable. You can actually stack your washer with this dryer. Also, the National Sanitary Foundation (NSF) certifies that this model is designed to eliminate up to 99.9% bacteria in clothes through the required temperature for sanitizing the laundry.

The pedestals of the unit is also a good addition to the package. With its pedestals, you don't need to bend down to load and unload the unit.

If you are going to load jeans, you can be assured that the fabric will be taken care of because the dryer lowers the temperature and retains higher moisture content to protect the fabric of jeans and khakis from fading and shrinking.

The drum of this unit is made of stainless steel, ensuring the durability of this dryer. Aside from these, the electric dryer has an elegant design that would really fit into a modern laundry room.

Disadvantages

One of the drawbacks of buying this product is that it is quite expensive. The original cost of this dryer is around $1,519.99, but it is now available at a sale price of $1,367.99.

Despite the lower price, it is still relatively expensive if you compare it with other dryers. There are many dryers out there that has almost the same features but cheaper than this unit. Some say that the Wrinkle Guard feature doesn't always work well.
