When I bought this dryer I did not even research as I normally do. I spent my time researching washers and was set on just picking the matching dryer for whatever washer i picked. I did not think a new dryer would be all that different from my old one. Well, i was pleasantly surprised with this dryer. It is smart, efficient and quiet. I bought a large washer and this dryer handles the large loads from that washer. It senses the size of the load and adjusts the time so that the load comes out perfect. Not over-dried so that everything shrinks, and not under-drieed (unless you want it tell you when it is almost dry). I really love the steam feature. My shirts don't have to be ironed anymore. If the load finishes and you don't have time to get it or you are not home, the dryer will periodically turn on and apply steam to prevent the load from wrinkles. I am very happy with this purchase.

My review is based on previous products I have used and the price point of this dryer as well as the features and ease of use. Overall this is a very nice looking, "high capacity" load dryer but I have problems with the drying time. This product is really no better than the last two High Efficiency dryers that I have had. It seems to take a really long time to get towels, jeans and heavier items dry. You cannot base the load that you place in the dryer on the capacity of the washer unless you want to spend 75 minutes dry time minimum. Even on the sanitize setting, with max heat and dryness, you cannot put more than 3-4 towels or jeans for that matter, as part of your regular load in the dryer at a time without having your clothes remain somewhat damp. I have noticed that with all of these so-called high efficiency types that the towels over time develop a "musty" smell because they never truly dry all the way unless you just buy really cheap, thin towels to help you accomplish faster dry times. I frequently have a "check dryer vent" light that comes on and it is frustrating to say the least as there is no build up of lint in the pull out tray and we ran a lint "snake" down through the vent on both the inside and through the outside vent and there is nothing clogging it. I stopped at one of the big box stores and they suggested turning the unit "on" then clearing the lint tray to see if that takes care of the problem. So far that doesn't work. Although there are several drying options, I have found that I mostly am using the sanitize cycle just to be able to get my clothes thoroughly dry and I don't see how that is suppose to be economically efficient : (

No complaints. Gets job done. On occasion thick things have to be dried again but that is to be expected with thick marterials mixed with non thick items.

Comments about Whirlpool Cabrio Platinum White Gas Steam Dryer:

We have had this dryer for a few months now and love it. About the only thing I can think to complain about is we do have to add time on occasion as heavier loads to not completely dry. That could be our fault, not using the correct options but if it is, I haven't figured it all out yet.

We recently purchased a pair of Cabriolet laundry products and really enjoy them. The dryer is fairy quiet, we can hear the alert well. We have a lot of choices for drying a wide range of products. The clothes come out nicely and my permanent press are ready to hang and use, no ironing is involved.

I purched my cabio dryer 8/2011. Towels take over 2 hours to dry. I did have a technician check it and I was told there is nothing wrong. I know something is wrong I have been doing laundry for 40 yrs and know when the dryer is taking to long and after 2 hrs they are not even hot when I remove from dryer. I am fustrated and wish someone could tell me what could be wrong any suggested are welcomed.

Comments about Whirlpool Cabrio Platinum White Gas Steam Dryer:

The dryer has performed flawlessly so far. The eco boost options are worth using to optimize energy consumption. The cycle features for the various categories of clothes are easy to use and seem to optimize the drying. The large capacity is great and more clothes can be dried per load resulting in increased energy savings. Our no iron clothes come out great. We recommend this dryer to anyone needing large capacity and willing to pay a little extra for the many features the dryer offers. We have not used the steam cycle yet, but it is one of the reasons we chose this product.
