LG DLEC855 Review

24″ Compact Dryer  8.5/10

By


LG DLEC855A compact dryer from LG perfectly suited to a small house or apartment, this model pops out in its bright cherry red color. With the clear circular window in the front, it resembles its front-loading washing machine counterpart. For a 24-inch model, its 4.2 cu. ft. capacity drum is quite generous. The stainless steel tub looks great and won’t rust. The controls are aligned at easy reach and are intuitive; an LED display screen shows your cycle selections. Some households will be pleased to know this condensing dryer doesn’t require a venting system. The sensor drying is a smart technological feature, automatically giving you the optimal drying performance. For $897.30, this is certainly an efficient, attractive machine.
