Fisher Paykel DE62T27DW2 6.2 Cu. Ft. White Electric Dryer Review
The Whirlpool WFW94HEXW could easily catch a consumer by surprise, sweeping them up in the novelty of finding a top-loading dryer. With its nifty lint trap bucket, spotless steel drum, and an unfamiliar ease of access resulting from the top-loading design, one would expect it to deliver in a really spectacular way. The truth is, behind all the wonder of finding something new, this machine is just a regular dryer. It does a decent job at drying clothes, without delivering anything mind blowing. In fact, this machine is a little worse than some more traditional appliances – controls are limited and there’s no separate Timed Dry cycle. This certainly isn’t a bad dryer, but don’t let yourself be swayed by novelty – retailers offer this for prices ranging from $795 to over $1000, and there are other standard machines available for those prices that are just as good, if not better.
