We just purchased this dryer as an emergency replacement for my other one which was not very old. I really recommend this dryer if you are budget conscience, because it removes wrinkles as well as dryers with all the bells and whistles! The automatic dry sensors work so well that clothes can be hung or worn without ANY IRONING!! Whether you have a large load or just a couple of items, you get the same great dry quality! For towels etc. the timed cycle works perfectly! If my washer goes out, I intend to buy the matching one for this dryer!! I give it the highest rating possible...5 stars!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Dryer was the right price for my rental unit - the best I could find for a name brand quality appliance. Home Depot was easy to buy from and great to have free shipping.

Although Ive only been using it a few short weeks, its great! I had concerns about it not having many drying cycle options, but I have only used the regular and delicate cycle. Its super quiet, and dries my clothes fast. Its a no frills dryer, gets the job done, and for the price, you just cannot beat it!
Yes, I recommend this product.

I recently purchased my first home, so this is the first time I've had to purchase my own (washer) and dryer. I absolutely LOVE this dryer. The first load I dried, I became a little concerned, as the clothes weren't completely dry. Let me just tell you though, it's just a matter of finding the right setting for your particular load. I have found that for me "optimum" dry seems to work for everything. You can always stop it, if your items dry before the cylce ends. I've only had the set for about 24 hours and I've done several loads. I've dryed delicates, to large conforters and I simply...love it! Thanks GE for making a wonderful product for a price I can afford. AWESOME!!!!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Initially my husband I were thrilled for what we got for the price (we didn't need anything fancy) and now, just over two years later, it stopped working and we get to fork over for a new one.

I was looking for a good basic machine at the lowest price point. I found that this GE filled the bill. My only issue is with towels. It takes 3 - 4 runs to dry a full load of towels. Otherwise, I have no complaints and am happy with my purchase.
Yes, I recommend this product.

The GE 5.8cf electric dryer (model DVLR223EG7WW) combines adequate capacity, quick drying, simple controls including automatic shutoff when clothes are dry, and easy loading, emptying and lint removal. Ours is on a 5 inch high platform so the bottom of the door is 18 inches above the floor, I recommend this for average-height users.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Purchased this dryer at $279 when our precious one went out and haven't been disappointed yet (got it about a month ago). We had a larger dryer before so be sure that the capacity is right for you (I've had to run a couple loads a bit longer than usual because I put too much in). Aside from a slightly longer dry time for larger loads, we have absolutely no complaints, and obviously GE is about as reliable as they come. Shipping/installation/hallaway was a breeze. Great product and service.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I bought this dryer because of the great price and the good reviews, but to tell you the truth, I never expected this dryer to be as awesome as it is. It is extremely quiet, so quiet, that I even forget I am drying. It also dries pretty fast and good too. I put in alot of jeans at a time, and next thing I know they are all completely dry. If you are in need of a great deal, this is totally a must buy. I am so happy I have this dryer.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I purchased this dryer when my old one died. It was also a GE that a friend had given me. I got this new GE on sale, by chance, on the website. I was just comparing prices and this one got good ratings and I save almost $100.00 over others I was looking at. It works great. My clothes get dry much, much faster. I like the lent trap, it is easier to remove and clean out. I am very happy with my new dryer. I would recommend it to anyone.
Yes, I recommend this product.

This dryer is really efficient. With our first child on the way, I need a dryer that can handle a lot of use. I've done several loads of our grown-up clothes and washed all of the baby's clothing and bedding and am still impressed. Super loads dry in under an hour, though you also have the option of a timed dry setting. The only negative thing I can say is that it gets pretty loud. Otherwise, great dryer!
Yes, I recommend this product.

I must have read a wrong review before I bought this and got them confused because this does not completely dry clothes. I have now had to take more time to dry clothes by hanging them overnight and then drying them in the dryer. Still won't completely dry. I had my lint traps cleaned and still won't work. The lint gets on everything and won't come off. Also there is barely any lint in the lint trap even after drying towels. Even small loads won't dry. Don't loose your money on this.
No, I do not recommend this product.

I bought this dryer a couple of weeks ago and I love it! It is super quiet and extremely efficient. Drying times are fairly short so I get a lot done in less time. I would recommend this dryer to anyone looking for an affordable product that gets the job done!

I specifically wanted a GE because I saw that the company was starting new manufacturing in the United States (various product lines). We're retired and wanted to keep the expense down. We are very satisfied with the new machine, and can barely hear it running from the basement door. The controls are simple but adequate and all we need becouse we try to do large wash loads vs. small & specific types of loads. The drying cycles are quick - especially compared to our old failing unit. We like the up-front & easy lint filter too. The installers were courteous & professional. We're happy!
Yes, I recommend this product.
