After having a smaller vented dryer for years this one is a serious upgrade. Did a lot of research before choosing this one. Im happy that my laundry walls no longer drip with condensation and that whatever I put into it actually comes out dry at the end of its cycle. I know one of the complaints for heat pump dryers is cycle length, but for me, my vented dryer would frequently take two 2.5 hour cycles to dry a load of towels so this really wasnt a con. Read the instructions about the cycles and you should be fine.
