2 Disappointed

Pretty disappointed with the quality of this dryer. Seems like Electrolux is getting cheap with manufacturing. We have a low countertop and Electrolux is currently the only brand that will fit in the space. Our last Electrolux dryer (EFMG627UIW) lasted 3.5 years. The felt seal on the drum rubbed off the enamel finish on the drum back wall, rust formed and started staining clothing. The easiest solution was to replace the dryer and give Electrolux one more try. If this doesn't work out, we will remodel the laundry room and buy a different brand. After installing this new dryer (ELFG7637AW), here are my thoughts. 1. LOUD. Overall when running the dryer it is loud. But most noticeably, the dryer door is constructed very cheaply. If you simply tap your finger on the window of the door, it rattles. The outside part of the door is a thin piece of plastic. When you run the dryer that thin layer of plastic rattles against the rest of the door. Very annoying. 2. The dryer has default settings and it reverts to those default settings every time the dryer is turned on. For example, I like to run the dryer on "timed dry" setting. Even after running it on "timed dry," next time I turn it on it sets itself to "normal" mode. I would prefer it stay on the setting I last used. Not the end of the world, but definitely annoying. Fortunately for me, I was able to solve the first problem. Remember I said I replaced a 3.5 year old Electrolux dryer? Well the door construction on that model was pretty good. They didn't use thin, cheap plastic. It's actually a pretty substantial door and the measurements match exactly to this current model. So installed the door from the old unit onto the new unit and it's awesome!! Not only does the door not rattle, but overall the dryer is quieter because of the thicker material. Really goes to show that Electrolux is cutting costs on manufacturing even though the price of the dryer is more expensive.

Compared to our old dryer we actually get dry clothes. Easy to use, easy to load from the adjacent Electrolux washer.

4 Some reservations, but still the best!

This has the same basic feature set as our 8 year old Electrolux that just died after approximately 8,000 mostly full loads (IMO - a very respectable amount of loads!)._x000D_ _x000D_ * The unit we received from the retailer has a problem that has not yet been repaired. The dryer makes a lot of noise while running; possibly a defective bearing right from the factory._x000D_ _x000D_ 1) We miss the soft-operating door from the old unit. The new design may be less prone to failure (our old one never failed after 8,000+ cycles), but it is loud to open and close. Our laundry is right near the bedrooms, so the noise matters to us._x000D_ 2) The new unit has a design flaw where some lint collects in the lower edge of the door gasket. We have to wipe it out every 5 or so cycles._x000D_ 3) The new control panel is easier to use that our old version. Overall, the controls are very easy to understand and use._x000D_ 4) Drying performance is the same as the old model: these dryers perform well. Zero complaints there._x000D_ 5) LP conversion kit was very easy to install.

5 Love my new Electrolux Dryer

Have only had the dryer a couple weeks now, but so far I love everything about it. The cycle options are many and have already used the steam cycle to get some wrinkles out. This unit is much quieter than my previous Whirlpool model.

5 Loving my new dryer!

We recently replaced our old dryer with the Electrolux Perfect Steam and it is such a wonderful upgrade! I had no idea I could be so impressed with a dryer- Hahaha! First of all, it looks so elegant next to the matching washer which I've had for a couple of years; secondly, it is quieter than the old guy and has options for different cycles I've not had experience with before. _x000D_ At age 75, it is quite a plus to have both machines mounted on the riser drawers. So much easier on my back and legs and it can hold a larger load than my old one too. I wish I had not waited for my old one to die and nearly cause a fire with it's wiring...
