bit-tech Shopping: LG Electronics DLE7177RM Electric Dryer

Rating: 10

Time with product: 30 Days

Strengths: Intutive controls

Weaknesses: clothes might be a litle damp for bulky loads

Summary: The cherry color washer looks awesome, some reviewers had said that door open to same side, in our case they are complimentary so no problem in transferring clothes. The dryer is pretty fast, sometimes for big loads the clothes are damp, but it is very large size and easy to use.

Strengths: Super fast drying time

Weaknesses: Cost

Summary: I bought the set and was amazed at the efficiency of the pair. The first load I put in the dryer was small and it was dry in about 10 minutes-No joke. The lovely dinging bell went off and I asked. "What's that?" My friend said " Your clothes are dry" ( She already uses the new set ). I couldnt believe it! The energy savings will more than pay for the extra up front cost. Plus it looks great in bright red where that boring old white set used to be. I also love the bells it uses for settings and when done, not an annoying buzzer. I am now looking for more LG appliances, they are top rated in consumer reports and have way less repairs than anything else on the market.

Strengths: Quite, hi-tech, easy to use, stylish.

Weaknesses: Expensive!

Summary: I purchased this LG model DLE7177RM Electric Dryer along with LG model WM2487H Washer as a pair at Homedepot for my new-built house this month. This dryer has very easy to use dial for all kind of options. It has built-in sensor that you can determine how dry for your clothes without guessing how many minutes you have to set up. I didn't pay $100 more for LCD vision because I don't think that worth it. Personally, I strongly recommend this model if you don't really have a budget for your dryer.

Strengths: Dryer stops when clothes are dry

Weaknesses: None

Summary: We purchased this dryer to accompany the matching WM2487 washer along with pedestals. This dryer has tons of cycles. Our favorite is the wrinkle free cycle. No more ironing Baby! Throw what you wanna wear in, set it and by the time you are ready to get dressed you have a wrinkle free outfit. The wet laundry dries really quickly if accompanied with the matching washer. Read washer review. Purchase and enjoy laundry day!

Strengths: Enormous capacity

Weaknesses: Clothes are damp after cycle completed

Summary: I bought this dryer as a companion to the WM2487H Washer. It is amazingly easy to operate and even has an optional remote that allows you to keep tabs on your laundry when you are in the other side of the house. Sounds geeky, I know, but I cannot remember how many times I have forgotten about clothes in the dryer only to end up with a wrinkly mess to sort through later (*^&%#%^). This dryer is gorgeous and has very solid doors. You definitely feel like you have a commercial grade machine. Although the machine automatically sense the load size, large loads tend to come out on the damp side, so I automatically add some time to the end of each cycle. Get the optional pedestals if you want to cut down on back strain. My only complaint (as with the washer) is that you cannot apparently reverse the doors so my pair open towards each other which makes it harder to transfer clothes from washer to dryer.
