Love it! Works great! Happy to have a new one after years of semi working old one.
Bootiful05/25/2026 04:41 PM
I have owned this make and model of dryer 3 times now. The first one lasted me 12 years and had to be replaced. The second one I had to sell with a home after 3 years. When I needed another dryer I did not hesitate one which one to get. They have run faithfully and this newer model so far hasn’t disappointed me. I love the features, cycle choices, capacity, the accurate drying time and energy savings. They are my go to and highly recommend.

This device is the best I've ever seen, top of the line. It's quiet and, although advanced, very easy to use.
Hern110805/24/2026 08:30 PM
Working great so far. Lots of choices to use for drying and huge on the inside. The best feature is that the doors on both washer & dryer are changeable which we needed to do.

Because of past experience with GE appliances, we upgraded to this GE dryer when making options selection during the purchase of a new home. Dryer works as advertised, making short work and efficiently drying clothes.

Fantastic dryer. I bought the washing machine and dryer as a set. Love both of them. So many features. Energy efficient.
Ace n Jetts Mom04/15/2026 08:06 PM
This dryer is efficient, has a nice capacity and easy to operate. I’m sure it’s way more efficient than the dryer that was replaced and purchased in 2009

Terrific appliance! Makes me happy when laundry day comes.
GEterrific03/10/2026 02:03 AM
Love it all the features very quietmost of all like all the different cycles and size so much easier than reaching down in side a tub!
Donna12085503/02/2026 09:08 PM
So far this dryer is great. It is a better quality dryer. I recently purchased a Samsung that lasted 3 months. But that being said was a blessing in disguise because this GE dryer is so much nicer with a better selection of cycles and features. The capacity that it can hold is extremely convenient. I am pleased with the performance of this dryer.

Very efficient and fast drying! Many different drying cycles
Al 193902/27/2026 09:14 PM
Good dry cycles to choose from. Large capacity is great.
GreyRock dryrr02/25/2026 08:23 PM
I love my dryer! Capacity is awesome! I can fit all sizes of bedding inside. Couldn't want for more cycles, they leave nothing to be desired. Dries quickly. I know I'm saving energy - saw that on my bill. Haven't tried all features yet since haven't had dryer long but long enough to know i love it.
Winnie3102/11/2026 08:51 PM
So far, i am loving my dryer. It's large enough to dry my king comforters and blankets. Having a dog, I needed to wash them more frequently, and my old dryer didn't do the job.
retiredrose01/28/2026 08:11 PM
Drying jeans full load only takes 30 minutes. It is basic without all the bells and whistles . It’s pretty quiet too. Love it!!! Highly recommend!
Kimmer10101/20/2026 11:49 PM
