This was the first dryer we ever bought. It was a good value for the price we paid. It get clothes dry, and that usually takes between 40 - 60 minutes. I've noticed more static than usual after using this product.

What's great about it: Features, size, low noise level, easy to use
What's not so great: Nothing so far
Have had the new dryer for a week, and very pleased so far. Thought I was going to go Samsung, but the LG had a few more features and was a little bit smaller (not a tiny consideration when your washer/dryer are stacked in the kitchen!). Quiet, fairly speedy, easy to use, and laden with features. Dried a queen-size down blanket on low in just over thirty minutes! Had a small scratch on the door window but BestBuy graciously offered to replace or credit me back 10% (I took the latter). Here's hoping my new dryer lasts for a good long while.

What's great about it: ease of operation and speed of drying
What's not so great: buzzer could be a bit louder
At last I can do a weeks worth of laundry in just two loads! Best yet, they all come out perfectly dry and wrinkle-free. No more ironing of polo shirts, jeans just fold and put away. Even the towels come out dry the first time through. Has to be cutting down on my electric bill. First bill showed about a 5% lower bill that I attribute to the new drier.

What's great about it: Everything!
What's not so great: Door open opposite way of it's companion and I always get it wrong at first pull! LOL
We have a busy household with 2 kids, 2 dogs and a cat. Lots of fur, dirt and sweat! We researched ALL types of machines, read reviews, compared cost vs value/performance and looked at ALL brands for a month before choosing. We bought this matching set for it's good reviews and fair price. We LOVE them and don't regret this choice at all. We had an old, standard washer and dryer before these. People say you either love them or hate them. Others say "follow the manual!" and yet negative nancy's warn you they cause hammer pipe (this is an easy, cheap fix, if it happens although it didn't happen to us). I say embrace the differences HE machines offer and stop whining! These work GREAT!! Every article gets wet, every stain and dirt particle gets removed and no stinks of sweat, animals, or perfumes!!

What's great about it: The Features, Dryness Sensor, Value
What's not so great: Occasional Thumping Sound
Dryers are pretty much universal aside from some minor differences. I chose this model because I had the matching washer. I liked that LG put the dryer light near the door so you don't have to stare into it when removing the clothes. It has more options than most laundry-doers need to use; however, the dryness level sensor is great. I love that I don't bake my clothes like with my old GE dryer/oven. Drying time is perfectly matched with the washer. I don't wait around for things to finish / reload. I like the audible tones for end of cycle but have it disabled, but the dryer does produce a slight thumping when running. It's more pronounced when it starts up, but otherwise the unit is quiet.

What's great about it: Good Price, drys clothes quickly
What's not so great: End of cycle buzzer is not very loud
We replaced our old dryer with this one, and what a difference! Our old dryer took 2-3 rounds to completely dry the clothes. Usually we could just do 1 load of laundry a day. When we got this dryer, I did 4 loads of laundry in 1 day. Most loads are completely dry after about 40 minutes. We use the automatic setting with the sensor and the clothes are dry every time. I get the laundry done SO much faster now! The only bad thing is the "buzzer" (not really a buzzer - it plays a song) is not loud enough. In a busy house with 2 young kids, we usually can't hear it going off. That's not a big deal though, since it does a great job drying our clothes.

What's great about it: quiet, great freshen up cycle, fast
What's not so great: nothing!
I got a great deal on this dryer, but I would have paid full price for the quality! It dries everything quickly and has a lot of options for temperatures and stuff. It is super quiet, and my husband loves the little tune it plays when it is done. I love the freshen up cycle! Just make sure you get the dryer hose to go with it. This was my first time buying a washer/dryer and I assumed the dryer came with a hose since it was in the list of suggested accessories when I purchased the set online, but I was wrong and had to rush to the store to get the hose when the delivery guys were at my house.

I'd been limping along with a dryer that took numerous cycles to dry clothes so this is a huge improvement! I love all the settings and the sensor drying feature. It dries most loads in 45-60 mins (or less). It's also very quiet! I think there is a slight design flaw in the lint intake. Dryer sheets and small clothing items seem to get caught in small seem between the metal drum and intake plastic. I've just changed to liquid fabric softener and make sure to use a dryer bag for the small delicates - not a huge deal, the dryer took 2 months to be delivered so I'm not returning it for that. All in all I'm incredibly happy with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone.

The dryer is great. Like the many options. Love sensor dry, dryer will automatically stop when clothes are dry. Very efficient too! Pros: electricity bill dropped, many options, reversible door and very, very quiet. Cons: Have to bend slightly to load, unless you buy pedestal for $250. Other than that, dryer is great.
Hope this reviews helps you out as they did for me and let to my purchase, don't regret it!

Do not buy this machine! Mine lasted less than 6 months and has now been out or order for 8 weeks. LG has promised to fix it, ordered parts from outside the country, made more promises and the machine is still not fixed. This company has the worst Customer Non-service that I have ever seen. Maybe their products are good when they are good; but when they are bad, they are very bad. Spend your money with someone who will stand behind their warranty and respond to their customers. Avoid this machine!

What's great about it: Reasonable price, quiet, wisely adjusts timing to dry
My wife and I decided to purchase this dryer after reviewing Best Buy's own reviews as well as over at LG.com and various other places over the Internet. Some of my colleagues at work have had great experiences with the LG brand in general, so we decided to give it a shot.
So far, it's been an excellent investment. We originally had a 25-year-old Kenmore dryer that simply stopped heating. The difference really is night and day. The sensors in the dryer are able to tell both humidity and temperature, so you can set, for example, Permanent Press to be default or "More Dry" if you have thick fabric without having to worry about heating it too much. And it's true -- whatever it thinks it needs to start out at in terms of length of time to dry, it will adjust this based on what's actually in the dryer. Therefore, if you're used to waiting for an hour for clothes to dry, get ready -- they'll legitimately be done in 15 - 20 minutes.
We've only had the unit over the weekend, but we've already been able to cut our washing time by two-thirds. We still have a 6-year-old GE washer that's still going strong. So, maybe in another 6 months are so, if the LG continues to perform well, we might get the matching washer.

This dryer is very quiet. It has a sensor, so it will automatically adjust the drying cycle as needed. This is a nice feature as it saves you energy, plus your clothes don't shrink and come out piping hot. You can also get a $25 rebate from the power company for this dryer because of this feature.
The controls are easy to set and understand and there are plenty of options. It has the smart diagnosis feature which allows you to call LG and have the unit emit a code to tell them what the problem is. I also like that it plays a little tune instead of the annoying buzz our old dryer made.
