We were sad to say goodbye to our gas tumble dryer and were concerned that an electric equivalent would not be as good too be honest we were pleasantly surprised, it was well packaged easy to set up,vent is to the left at rear of machine, nice and quiet when operating,easy to clean filter at front, door closes nice and firmly. I opted for a machine that doesn’t have a sensor and no fancy timer,just more things to go wrong,and it dries quickly.
