Generally I like this dryer. It dries cotton towels really well on the Extra dry setting. The other settings leave the towels still damp, not “cupboard dry”. I am still trying to work out which setting to do synthetic throws and other synthetics so they are actually dry at the end of the cycle, not still very damp. I think it just takes some experimentation to work out which cycle to use for various items. The only other thing to watch is it draws quite a bit of power on its own, so running the dishwasher as well leads to a trip in the circuit. Otherwise, this is a good machine for the price and easy to use.
