Electrolux ELFE7637 Electric Dryer

Significant concerns from real users
This 8-cubic-foot dryer dries clothes gently and handles bedding well, but the blower wheel traps lint deep inside where you can't reach it without disassembling the machine. Some owners tear down the entire unit twice a year to clean blades that shouldn't collect debris in the first place, a flaw Electrolux acknowledged in a service bulletin only after shipping thousands of units. Others burn through multiple service calls chasing airflow that never meets spec, even with extended warranties covering the parts. Buy a Whirlpool or LG instead and spend the savings on detergent.
