These days, decent drying isn't quite good enough. The {{product.name}} is actually a good dryer, but it couldn't get to the level of performance that the best dryers manage to offer. While most cycles got clothes nearly all the way dry, it only reached the 100 percent mark when temperatures got higher than we like to see. There isn't much by way of extra features to make up for that lack of truly effective drying, either. It's unfortunate, really - this {{product.brand.name}} did well, just not well enough to make it worth purchasing at full price. If you can find it one sale - perhaps by a few hundred dollars below its $849 MSRP - it could be a great machine for those getting there first or second dryer. Shopping around, though, you may find other appliances for the same price that do a better job, take better care of your clothes, and give you more features to play around with.

This Kenmore electric dryer lets you choose from a wide variety of options.

Great results, lots of cycles, and a $999 MSRP make it one of the best electric dryers.

This 8.8-cu.-ft. electric dryer is stylish, versatile, and effective.

What's in a name? That which we brand Kenmore Elite 81472, by any other name, would dry as well. This electric Kenmore is a true Elite by any standard.

This Electrolux is more than it appears. With a digital menu system, the electric EWMED70JIW has enough customization options to satisfy anyone.

Gorgeous, effective... and expensive.

Buy it for the massive drum, keep it for the gentle drying.
