Know before you buy
Open Box items are typically units that were returned, used as floor models, or had their packaging damaged. This unit has been inspected to ensure it meets performance standards, offering you commercial-grade quality at a more accessible price point.
The Pet Plus cycle is specifically engineered to remove stubborn pet hair and dander from fabrics. It uses a combination of optimized airflow and specialized drying patterns to loosen hair, which is then captured by the dryer's high-capacity lint filter.
Yes, this model features a reversible door. This allows you to customize the swing direction to best fit your laundry room layout and improve your workflow.
Yes, this feature uses sensors to monitor moisture levels in the drum and automatically stops the cycle once the load is dry. By preventing the dryer from running longer than necessary, it significantly reduces the risk of heat damage and shrinkage to your garments.
Steam-Sanitize uses high-temperature steam to penetrate fabrics, effectively eliminating bacteria and allergens. It is an excellent option for bedding, towels, or items that need a deeper, more hygienic clean than a standard drying cycle provides.
Yes, as a gas-powered appliance, this dryer requires a dedicated gas line connection and proper exterior venting to exhaust moisture and combustion gases safely. We recommend consulting a professional installer to ensure your home meets these specific requirements.
