I needed a ventless dryer and the Whirlpool surpassed my expectations. I like the moisture sensing feature. I can set it don't have to keep coming back to check on it. It's quiet as well. Very satisfied thus far.

Hi, I have the previous version of this dryer (WED99HED) and I wanted to let everyone know that after using it for 3 years, I WILL NEVER USE ANYTHING BUT A FULL-SIZE HEAT PUMP, VENTLESS DRYER. Thank-you Whirlpool so much!!!! Our dryer has been great. It dries clothes very well and at a much lower temperature than a regular electric (or gas) dryer - so drying my wife's stretchy sports clothes is allowed. :-) Even most of her sweaters I can dry in this dryer. All of our clothes come out warm and dry but not hot. Also, our house is one of the most energy-efficient in the USA, and this dryer is a big part of that. Using a regular electric or gas dryer is like leaving a window open half-way for the whole time you are using the dryer. While there isn't one window where the air is coming in, it is coming in around every small crack around every window and door because a regular dryer is constantly sending hot, wet air outside which needs to be replaced (otherwise your house would soon not have any air in it). Think of how much $ you spent for your furnace to heat your house in the winter or your air conditioner to cool your house in the summer, and now you are having your regular dryer throw it all outside. In addition, you've probably noticed how the inside of a regular dryer which hasn't been used recently is cold in the winter and warm in the summer. That's because of air coming in through the dryer vent. More air you have to pay for your furnace or air conditioner to heat or cool. Whirlpool's ventless, heat-pump dryers don't do any of that since there is no silver duct leading outside. In simple terms, the heat-pump dryers dehumidify the air inside the dryer and the heat from running the dehumidifier warms the clothes. All of the heat and air stays inside the dryer. The water from the clothes is sent down the same drain your washing machine empties into. It is ingenious! A great extra with a ventless, heat-pump dryer is that you can put it anywhere and not just in a room with an outside wall. A second floor linen closet can become a second floor laundry. Just once a week, vacuum-out the filter behind the small door at the bottom left of the front of the dryer to get rid of the accumulated lint. It takes me about 3 minutes. (note: Whirlpool, the closing/latching mechanism on the door is a little finicky. I'm sure you can come up with a better design. Put a little effort here.) Anyway, our Whirlpool ventless, heat-pump dryer has been GREAT for 3 years and still runs like it did when we first got it. I don't ever want to use anything but one like this - and I've been doing our family laundry for 18 years.

I traded in my samsung dryer in because it damaged most of my clothes due to a musty smell I could not remove. With the Whirlpool I have not had that problem.
