Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Generally simple designs, especially the 7.0-cu.-ft. models. Moisture-sensing is available even on relatively inexpensive models, helping prevent overdrying.

We should have bought a Maytag

Unimpressed Consumer 6/28/2026

There are many design flaws in this dryer---some have already been noted in earlier reviews: a curved top vs. a flat top (all manner of things slide off the top including laundry baskets) and a lint screen that does not easily or fluidly retract from the machine for lint removal purposes--and accordingly, does not allow for easy reinsertion. In addition, the door to the machine does not easily close or open and the 'sensing' system has often stopped the drying cycle before clothes are truly dry. Even the metal construction of the machine itself is flimsy and not substantial. Lesson learned---never buy online without inspecting the product in person--and, you get what you pay for. We should have bought a Maytag instead™€"commercial grade.

Bought brand new, 2 weeks in and not drying.

Rosales621 4/13/2026

Bought this dryer late March we™€™ve had it for a couple weeks and it™€™s not drying it takes two 90 minute cycles on HIGH to even barely dry. Either It™€™s bad installation that I paid for or it™€™s just a bad dryer. I called for service was transferred three times just to be put on hold for one hour horrible service and bad experience overall.

Could have better design

jan 60 3/25/2026

I am not thrilled with the front top opening door although it is functional. I do not care for the slant on the top surface. I use the top for temporary storage and now things slide off...seems like a bad design change...unnecessary. A flat top provides function. Also on a 'normal setting the load is not usually dry...I have to run it twice.

NickTheEnforcer 3/22/2026

Bough to replace a 2 year old Home Depot $400 special that died way too early! I done believe in spending a lot of money on appliances. As a residential GC I see that most appliances are in fact 'toasters' these days ie when they break its usually better to toss them then repair, JMO from seeing appliances fail way too early in their expected life-cycle regardless of the price point. Spend double the money from by HD unit, mostly based on product reviews. So far its a great unit and operating as expected. We will see over time though.

How long will those plastic push buttons last

SueCat 3/21/2026

Don't get me wrong, the washer and dryer are nice but there's a few things that I didn't notice when I was in the store purchasing them. All choices are push button on a heavy plastic (?) what happens the first time you push a little too hard? The top of the dryer slants down, maybe it's me but I do use the top of the dryer when I'm putting things into the washer that need special treatment and to my amazement, they slide off, including the extra large size of laundry detergent. The dryer's buttons are the same and the push to start and a push to turn on and then push here there and everywhere. I knew you have 30 days to return them but time got away from me and now I push lots of buttons to get what I think I want to wash/dry the clothes...doesn't always take my choices so I push the button to start and hope for the best or several times through the dryer - yes! I have read the manuals for both - unfortunately, it's a mish mash for several different series so you have to hunt and peck to find what your particular one's instructions are. And there are no dispensers to put in soap, fabric soften or anything else...the instructions tell you that you should get Downey fabric softener balls - seriously?

liverdonor 2/28/2026

I just purchased this dryer to replace my 10+ year old whirlpool that has been discontinued. This new model is just as great with moisture sensor and the hamper door which I love. I think Whirlpool appliances are reliable and fairly priced within a competitive market.

Good dryer

JET500 2/10/2026

I purchased the 7.0 front top load gas moisture sensing dryer about 1 week ago. Since that time, I have done multiple loads. I like the big capacity. I am getting used to the control panel, but find it kind of complicated. I never understand when it will start. I guess it is time to read the manual. I have been pleased with the drying times and that items have come out dried, without the need to repeat drying them.

LOOK FOR A DRYER OTHER THAN WHILPOOL

denfred 1/25/2026

I purchased the WGD5010LW3 Whirlpool dryer 4/1/24. Having used it less than a year, inside the dryer the white paint or whatever they use, started to chip away. I called their office and explained what was happening. A tech came out, one day before my warranty expired, he told me he saw this before. It is caused by coins being left in pockets or the metal from the bras, etc. He indicated that there was nothing he could do, that it will not affect the dryer for its performance, etc. First, I check all pockets before I wash, and I do not believe the small metal on the hook of the bra (2) would cause this damage. I'm now seeing small black chips on the clothes coming out of the dryer. I paid a lot of money for the dryer, plus all the extra add-on's and plus the warranty fee for 5 years. Do not buy this dryer unless you have the time to pick off all the little black specs on your clothing....I'm not a satisfied customer and the problem is still there.
