I really like my Electrolux washer, but their dryers have been somewhat disappointing to me.A neighbor purchased a ventless dryer from a competitor and was happy with ventless operation so I thought I would give the Electrolux model a try.I expected that a ventless dryer would put more heat and humidity in the air, but I was surprised on the amount of lint I could also smell in the air also. The amount of airbourne lint seems to be worst when I dry towels. I also noticed that the lint filter does not fit tightly in the dryer slot for it; it easily shifts side to side in the slot and a fair amount of lint does collect around the filter edges. There doesn't seem to be a lot of lint though on the condenser unit.There are a lot of cycle selections and options for the dryer however note that the ECO (economy) mode is only available on the normal (cotton) setting. Also, my washer keeps track of the last set of options selected for each cycle selection (normal, towels, delicates, etc); with this dryer, you need to reselect them each time.The dryer drum does rotate in both directions. I was hoping this feature would keep my microfiber sheets from wrapping up in a ball but unfortunate it did not help. Even on the heavy duty cycle, the dryer will wrap the sheets in a ball then shut off within a few minutes. My old vented electrolux dryer would typically dry the same sheets on medium heat within about 15 minutes. To avoid frustration, I've had to start air drying the sheets for an hour or two and then put them in the dryer.As someone metioned in another review, clothes do seem moist when they come out of the dryer but the moisture is heated so high that it evaporates quickly once you take the clothes out. Because of this moisture, the clothes feel sofer than they would coming out of a vented dryer.Not a bad dryer but it seems to put out more lint than I would expect and on some cycles it will shut off before the cycle is completed. I've had two serviceman out to inspect the dryer and neither (including one directly from electrolux) was able to find an issue.

I am a long time Electrolux customer. My last condenser dryer unfortunately only lasted four years. Right after the warranty was out, we had to replace the heat element and pump. Then in March of 2021 it quit heating again. Instead of putting more money into the unit, and because I love the concept and the way it works, when it works, I saved to purchase a new one. It was delivered October 8th 2021. November 10, 2021 it stopped heating and gave me a code AL 60. Nowhere in my reading the manual or researching online could I find this code. I tried the reset option in the manual to no avail. This morning November 11th, 2021 I have spent 1.5 hours on the phone and another half hour on the chat, trying to find out what this code means. The two people I communicated with were perfectly polite but unable to do anything except tell me that I will have to wait for 3 - 5 business days to be contacted and given an appointment for service. Since I have just had the experience of dealing with Elextrolux/Frigidaire's system of service calls for broken refrigerator for the company I work for, I am completely discouraged with my choice of purchasing Electrolux again. Service calls are averaging 1.5 - 2 months out. Wish I had read some of the more recent reviews. This company's product used to be amazing. Now I am back to lugging my laundry twenty minutes away to dry my clothes. After seven months of doing that to save up for my new unit, the novelty has worn off, and winter is not just coming, it has already arrived.
