Know before you buy
This dryer is designed with a shallower profile than many standard models, measuring 31 inches in depth. This allows it to fit into tighter spaces, such as closets or smaller laundry rooms, without sacrificing the 7.4 cu. ft. capacity.
Unlike conventional dryers that vent hot air outside, this heat pump model recycles heat to dry clothes at lower temperatures. This process is significantly more energy-efficient and gentler on your fabrics, reducing the risk of heat damage.
Yes. The sensors monitor the moisture levels inside the drum throughout the cycle and automatically shut the dryer off once your clothes reach the ideal level of dryness. This prevents over-drying, which helps protect your garments and saves energy.
The four baffles inside the drum promote more consistent tumbling compared to standard three-baffle designs. This movement helps ensure that larger loads or bulky items are dried more evenly by preventing them from bunching together.
The Wrinkle Shield option periodically tumbles your clothes after the drying cycle is complete to help prevent wrinkles from setting in. While it is helpful if you aren't immediately available to unload, it is intended for short-term use after the cycle finishes.
The touch controls are designed for simplicity, allowing you to select your preferred settings with a quick tap. With 36 available drying cycles, the interface is organized to help you easily navigate through options based on fabric type and load size.
