A feature-rich gas dryer with genuinely useful AI sensing and steam dewrinkling that works well day-to-day, until the control board relay sticks in the on position and the drum spins indefinitely through the night. The relay failure is documented across multiple units: the dryer ignores the cycle end, ignores the door opening, and keeps tumbling until you unplug it. The fix is a $70 board and a YouTube video, so it's survivable if you're handy, but it's the kind of flaw that makes you second-guess the whole appliance. If you want the capacity and smart features and don't mind occasional DIY repairs, it's capable. If you want a dryer that just stops when it's supposed to, buy something simpler.
This dryer exists for people who literally cannot install a vented model, apartment dwellers, closet stackers, anyone without access to an exterior wall. It does dry clothes without a vent, uses half the electricity, and runs quiet, but you pay for that flexibility with 90-minute cycles, bedding that tangles into damp wads, and three separate filters to clean every week. The control board can fail and run the drum nonstop for days until you physically unplug it, and some units develop odors that never go away. Buy it only if your living situation leaves no other option and you accept the maintenance burden as the cost of doing laundry at home.
