Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

New dryer

Ed X steel guy11/15/2019

Got this dryer at a discount with a rebate. We were replacing a 22 year old Maytag that gave us great service. I have been in the steel industry for over 32 years and have worked with different Whirlpool plants as part of that. They are sticklers are quality and service about their raw materials, processing and their final products. Buying American made quality is important to me. Having insight to how their products are made helped me make the decision to purchase this Whirlpool appliance. There are a lot of choices out there. I did a lot of research and made the right choice for our family. Originally posted on Whirlpool.com

Fast drying without shrinking

Ruizs3078/20/2019

I love love love my new dryer. I wanted to wait a couple of months before giving a review. I purchased my dryer in April. Whirlpool is a brand my husband and I trust and we are loyal customers since all of our washers and dryers have been whirlpool and we have never been disappointed. Really love the fast drying without shrinking or over drying the cloths. Cloths come out soft and semi warm making it perfect for folding. And if you can get to folding immediately, it's okay the cloths doesn't wrinkle and it'll wait for you. Originally posted on Whirlpool.com

Great dryer

Pdre6/20/2019

I purchased this Dryer June 1st and I absolutely love it. Installation was simple and easy. What I like about it the most is the Auto Dry Drying system. When your clothes or sheets are in the dryer, the Auto Dry system will accurately heat at the right temperature to dry whatever it is you have in the dryer. I also love the Wrinkle Shield feature. It fluffs the load to help keep wrinkles from forming when your unable to remove a load from the dryer as soon as it stops. Lastly, the lint screen is easy to access and clean. All you have to do is pull the lint screen from the top right corner of the dryer and slide it back in when it's cleaned. You have to use a temperature setting button to set the temperature and a cycle signal button to push start/signal when the cycle ends. I love that the dryer door folds out like a oven. Dryer is large enough inside to dry big quilts and blankets you may have. I really love this dryer. Must buy. Quiet operation as well. Love the drum light inside the dryer so you can see.
