A Dryer Should Dry Cloths

A dryer should dry and this dryer does NOT. I purchased this dryer about a year ago because of my satisfaction with my previous Whirlpool dryer model, its load capacity, and its low energy usage. I'd thought it would be great to be able to save money through the unit's low energy use and through its ability to fit my king size comforter in so I would not need to visit a laundrimat. However, I had no idea that energy efficient meant much longer drying times!! Instead of saving money, it's costing more because I have to run it a lot longer in order to get things dry. For example, yesterday evening I did a small wash of 3 pairs of cotton/polyester pj's in with 1 denim collared, long sleeve, all cotton man's shirt. That should have dried in no time. I put it on a delicate dry cycle that was only one dot lower than maximum heat for 1 hour. My clothing was still wet though my dryer was hot. I put it on for another 30 minutes. It was still damp and my dryer was hot. Frustrated and without the pj's I'd wanted to wear that night, I went to bed after turning the dryer on for an additional 20 minutes. The next AM I expected my clothing to be fully dry, but discovered the seams and/or button areas were still damp. As for my King size comforter, it takes approximately 3 hours to dry, with turning necessary. My old Whirlpool handled it in an hour (a little longer when it became old) and a laundrimat's dryer takes an hour AND costs less to use. From day 1 of my owning this dryer, the drying time for my laundry has been (annoyingly) much greater than my previous Whirlpool. In fact, I can honestly tell you from personal experience that it takes less time to line dry my laundry than use this dryer. Needless to say, I'm completely disgusted with this dryer and I warn buyers to beware unless they want to be tied to their laundry.
