DLG5966

Pros: many, many cycles and options; very quiet running; flawless operation so far

Cons: door can't be used as an impromptu sorting table

The Bottom Line:

LG's DLG5966 Gas Dryer is monster-sized, but has the heart of a saint. It's quiet, efficient, and has performed flawlessly for us. It's also kinda cute.

Review: Nothing went wrong with the old washer and dryer: no explosions, no floods, no mangled laundry. Nope, it's just that they stayed at the great (formerly) white elephant on the edge of the prairie when we moved to Houston. All of which left a gaping...

Pros: Smarter, more efficient machine = Lower electric bill

Cons: Pedestal is kind of pricey

The Bottom Line: Buy this machine. It makes laundry easy and fun!

Review: Narrowing down the choices

Pros: Easy to use, Dries quickly, Nice options

Cons: Finding a repairman is close to impossible

Pros: None

Cons: See above

Review: Six weeks after we bought this dryer it started making a horrible grinding noise. The motor needs to be replaced. They can't seem to get their act together to get the part and get it installed. We still do not have a confirmed appointment to finish...

Pros: I can't think of a single thing.

Cons: Within one year, Sensor Dry cycles do not work.

Review: I purchased the DLG5966W Gas Dryer and am living the mistake right now. Within one year my dryer quit heating and a new ignitor had to be installed. Since then, I have had the service company out two additional times with no resolution of further...
