GE GTDS570EDWW Dryer Review

Wed, 24 Oct 2012 15:31:00 -0400

The is a hot item for sure, but not in the positive sense. Its temperatures rise to excess, blasting moisture out of clothes, so if your closet is full of rare and delicate items, this is definitely not the machine for you. It goes for $799 MSRP (or on sale for about $670) and though it looks a bit old-timey, it actually offers some great modern goodies, like Eco Monitoring and Steam Refresh. Too bad it can't cool off a little though, because these sort of temperatures are just too tough on clothes.

The Whirlpool WED96HEAW is a $1,449 go-getter in terms of Normal and Delicate cycles, but the Bulky and Quick Cycles leave something to be desired: dryness, namely.
