Know before you buy
The Steam Sanitize cycle uses high-heat steam to eliminate 99.9% of common household bacteria from your fabrics. It is an ideal setting for bedding, towels, or any items that require a deeper, more hygienic clean.
The Pet Plus™ cycle is specifically engineered to loosen and remove stubborn pet hair from clothing and blankets. It uses a combination of airflow and specialized tumble patterns to help lift hair away from fibers so it can be effectively trapped by the dryer's lint filter.
No, this model does not use sensor drying technology. Instead, it relies on Over-Dry Protection Technology, which is designed to prevent fabric wear by stopping the cycle before the clothes become damaged from excessive heat.
Yes, the door is reversible. This allows you to configure the dryer to open from the left or right side, providing flexibility to match your laundry room layout and improve accessibility.
No, the Speed Queen DF7 is a standalone unit and is not designed to be stacked. You will need to ensure you have enough floor space for a side-by-side installation.
Extended Tumble periodically rotates your clothes after the drying cycle has finished. This helps prevent deep wrinkles from setting in if you aren't able to remove the laundry immediately after the buzzer sounds.
