We have had this dryer for about 2 months and I love it. It makes doing laundry very easy and it makes a happy little sound when the cycle is finished. I also like the steamfresh feature. I have stopped laying my work clothes out to dry and having them dry cleaned because I don't need to. It has a delicate and ultra delicate choice for drying light-weight material clothing.
What's great about it: It's easy to use and selects everything for me based on what I say is in it
What's not so great: Nothing
I would recommend this to a friend!

I purchased this steam dryer and the matching washer. I did not get a steam washer, b/c I wash our clothes in cold water, so the steam wouldn't really benefit me in a washer. I do love my dryer, but it's really no different than a regular dryer, except it looks great! I really, really wanted the steam dryer, but now that I have used it, I'm not very impressed. I was hoping to be able to put dry items into the dryer to "steam" them to get the wrinkles out, but that's not how it works! The steam comes at the end of the cycle, so when you get the clothes out, they are damp and ready to be ironed. I used to throw dry clothes into our old dryer with a damp rag and got a better result! I am, however enjoying the STEAMFRESH feature, which allows you to put items onto a rack and sanatize them. This is great for cusions and things that you wouldn't want to wash. All in all, I am enjoying my purchase. If I had understood how the steam cycles worked, I probably would not have spent the extra money for the steam dryer, though. I would recomment this to a friend only b/c of the steamfresh option. If that doesn't excite you, then just go for the regular dryer.
What's great about it: large capacity, dry sensor prevents over drying, Steamfresh LOOKS GREAT!
What's not so great: Steam feature expensive, very little benefit for me
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very Disappointed

I put bone dry towels in this dryer and it still ran for the full time on the sensor dry setting. It also will stop when items are clearly still wet if the time is up. Unfortunately overdrying my families clothes like this is already starting to destroy them and I'm sure it is wasting an enormous amount of electricity.
I am returning this dryer and the coordinating washer which is a huge hassle. I had a much less expensive set of Maytag front loaders (Epic Z) at my old house that worked in half the time and I was much happier with.
Also, if you stack the dryer on top of the washer the controls will be very high and hard to see.
What's not so great: Sensor dry does not work at all
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Have this less than a month and will be returning it. Takes forever to dry clothes - way longer than my 19 year old whirlpool that this replaced. Usually have to redo loads for additional time due to dampness. Permanent press shirts wrinkle on permanent press cycle & if you use steam setting - clothes comes out with big wet splotches on them. I am very disappointed with this dryer.
What's great about it: Quiet, Steam freshness, lint filter in front, capacity
What's not so great: Long drying time, wrinkles permanent press shirts, not good for mixed loads
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We bought this dryer several weeks ago and for the most part I'm satisfied with it. The Steam Dry is not what I was sold on originaly at the store. Leaves clothes pretty damp. It is very quiet and dries clothes pretty good on every other sycle that I tried. I like that I'm able to adjust drying time and also in senses when the clothes are dry and shuts off. Overall drying time is a lot less than the dryer I used to have. Unlike some of the other customers think this dryer is NOT ENERGY STAR Dryer.
What's great about it: Love the size of the Dryer
What's not so great: Steam Fresh is not what its hyped up to be.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I purchased this Steam dryer in combination with the regular, non-steam washer a couple months ago. I was impressed with the steam feature the first couple times I used it, but soon realized that, while it does save me money on my dry cleaning, it isn't always as efficient. The dryer often times does not dry the clothes completely. There have been many times when I used a pre-set function and went to check my clothes when the timer went off only to find that they were not dry yet. the moisture sensor is a little off the mark, but the speed dry feature is great for that last little bit of dry time.
What's great about it: Easy to use, Good Range of Features, Steam is great for Dry Cleaning
What's not so great: Some dry cycles don't get clothes totally dry
I would recommend this to a friend!

Exceeded Expectations!

Love this machine! I bought this to replace my Maytag Neptune which was top of the line back in 2000. WOW this machine exceeds all my expectations. It is So Very Quiet! I also own the LG TROMM STEAM Washer WM2487HWM which is the slightly older model washer which may explain why there is just a slight difference in the white color..actually hardly noticeable and doesn't bother me but may someone else. I was unable to get the exact dryer match as BestBuy was clearancing the DLE7177WM dryers out and I did not move fast enough to get it at my local store. So, I upgraded to this new model dryer which includes the STEAM option without the need of an additional water hose hook-up. I am very pleased with the performance and style of this machine. LG is very good quality and I must say it is so fun to do laundry now!
What's great about it: Steam built in-no extra hose needed!
What's not so great: expensive but worth it!
I would recommend this to a friend!
