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.

Still Going Strong!!

MrsV23 11/21/2025

It™€™s been 5 years and my Whirlpool dryer and it is still going strong! With three adults and two teenagers (add in grandkids that come to stay all the time) it has continued to keep up with all of our needs. From bulky comforters, a half dozen large beach towels - plus extras towels, other family needing to dry because their dryer broke down, and when 8 of my family members caught Covid in 2021 my husband was drying loads of laundry from three different households all most 24-7 for two weeks! We maintain the vent in the back occasionally and that™€™s it! Still going strong and pleased to share we have not had a single problem. Needless to say we love our Whirlpool dryer and are so happy that we decided to purchase it.

Nice Dryer

Bobby 10/5/2023

I recently bought this dryer., on 8-16-2023, it has the steam feature haven't had a chance to use it, but the drying system is very efficient, and the controls are very simple to use this dryer sits next to a Maytag washer, so really they are cousins I read that Whirlpool is made by Maytag so you are buying good quality when you buy Whirlpool.

After 1 month stopped heating

Mra. Ov 9/15/2023

I bought matching washer and dryer from Costco. Both were delivered and remained in box until months later when laundry room remodel was completed. Dryer stopped blowing warm/hot air after a month of use. Similar reviews have indicated this is a reoccurring issue. Very disappointed after spending thousands on two new whirlpool laundry machines. I love the features but is worthless if it doesn™€™t dry your clothes.

It™€™s nice when it works

Tkin24 7/26/2023

Our dryer didn™€™t work pretty much off the bat. We did get it repaired and it™€™s been working since, but I™€™ve found the sensor that is supposed to tell if the clothes are wet never works so I stick with timed dry. That does the trick, but for a fairly expensive deyer disappointing. I do appreciate the capacity and in a low profile size and the hamper door is great.

Stopped Heating After A Few Days Of Use

Luigi 7/20/2023

After only a few days of use, the dryer stopped heating. The sensing function does not work . . . after 3 hours our towels were still damp. Every time we checked on them, no heat, the towels were cool to the touch. The display would read "Sensing" for 45+ minutes . . . how long does it take to sense a load. And no, we did not over crowd the drum. Very discouraging after less than a week of ownership.

Very well made dryer

Gabe 7/16/2023

Purchase the dryer as part of an offer from Costco that also included a washer. So far I am very impressed with the unit. The features and how well made seem to be. It looks very solid. Only time will tell if I am correct. My last dryer was already in used when I put the home and it lasted for 27 years after with only having to replace the belt that spins the drum.

Two years in my house. No problems. Lots of features. I really like the steam setting when I leave clothes in the washer too long; adding moisture to the cycle gets the clothes ready. I always use the wrinkle free setting.

Whirlee Dryer

AppleTrees4Me 5/8/2023

What we liked: good solid dryer; dries and is environmentally friendly. What we didn't like: It regularly tells us to clean our exhaust vents. The vents are old, but not clogged. The top slopes forward, and is not flat like every other dryer we have owned. My wife put her phone on it, and it fell so now we need a new phone. Sloping top seem like a bad idea. People like to set things on top of washers and dryers.

Not so great

John82 5/5/2023

I will learn how to set the controls to actual dry clothes. The first several loads were dryish, but not what I am used to. The automatic cycle is so miserly with energy that, even with the Eco setting off, the clothes come out dampish. Like the low flush toilets we are mandated to use, this unit puts ™€œconservation above full function.

I've only had this about a month but so far it has beat all my expectations. It is so quiet that you barely hear it. The space inside is phenomenal, drying large blankets etc will no longer be a problem. As usual, whirlpool has put out another great product. My last one lasted about 12 years, yea Whirlpool.

Desertboy52 7/23/2022

Bought this for our new home, through the builder. Runs well and looks good in our laundry room. Door opens down which makes it a little more difficult to get clothes out of the dryer but a minor inconvenience. Previous dryer door opened to the side and kept closing, even though dryer was balanced.

Exactly what I needed

Alison Q 7/23/2022

I bought this set during the Memorial Day sale at Costco and I™€™m so glad I did. Everything was installed for me and they took away my old LG washer and dryer. Features that I like: large load capacity, quiet while on, easy to use, and fast dryer settings. I™€™m short (5™€0™€™) so when I have to get the clothes out of the washer, it™€™s a little of a struggle to get those last items at the bottom. If the washer had an agitator, it would have been better. But it still washes clothes and towels amazing. I would recommend 100%.
