This seven-cubic-feet capacity dryer has a compact profile and is quiet, intuitive and easy to use – and its ability to remove pet hair from wet and dry items is an added bonus for those with pets.

WHAT WE LIKE

● PET HAIR NIXER: The DR7 has two cycles specifically designed to take care of errant pet hair. The 10-minute Pet Hair Remover cycle is perfect for dealing with pet hair on clothing before loading the items in the washer – or for quickly freshening items. The fully-customizable Pet Items cycle takes around an hour, and exceeded our expectations on freshly washed wet pet items, removing pet hair and static. Blankets, pillows – and even squeaky toys – came out perfectly dried and pet approved!

● SMART SETTINGS: Auto-sensing preset cycles for heavy duty, regular, perm press or delicate fabrics are Energy Saver cycles and use a moisture sensing system to calculate the time to dry the load, without over-drying. The digital display shows you how much time is left on each cycle.

● SANITIZE WITH STEAM: For certain fabric types (check your care labels), the Steam Sanitize cycle uses high heat and kills 99.9% of household bacteria on your laundry, and also helps keep your laundry wrinkle free and soft.

● COMPLICATED MADE SIMPLE: It is super-easy to customize each load and we especially like the “favorites” setting – store your selections of temperature, dryness and options like Steam Boost, Anti-Static, and more, ready for the next load with the push of one button.
