GE 7.2 cu. ft. Gas Dryer vs Whirlpool WGD4815EW Gas Dryer

The Whirlpool WGD4815EW is the better pick for most people. It has 14 cycles, four temperature settings and a Wrinkle Shield that tumbles for up to 90 minutes after the cycle ends, while the GE 7.2 cu. ft. Gas Dryer offers only 4 cycles and a simpler Auto Dry setup. The GE gives you slightly more capacity and a reversible door with an interior light, but its rear-panel knobs and aluminized drum are basic. Owners of both report reliable, no-frills drying; the Whirlpool's extra cycle control is the real difference.

  • Choose the GE 7.2 cu. ft. Gas Dryer if you want the largest drum in this pair, a reversible door and an interior light, and you only need basic timed and sensor drying.
  • Choose the Whirlpool WGD4815EW if you want more cycle choices, adjustable temperatures and a Wrinkle Shield that keeps clothes tumbling after the cycle ends.

Questions and answers

Which is better for large loads like comforters?
The GE has a slightly larger 7.2 cu. ft. drum, so bulky items fit with a bit more room. The Whirlpool's 7.0 cu. ft. drum still handles a comforter, and its Heavy Duty cycle runs at high heat for thick items.
Which has better wrinkle control?
The Whirlpool. Its Wrinkle Shield tumbles intermittently for up to 90 minutes after the cycle ends. The GE offers Dewrinkle and extended tumble, but with fewer cycle options.
Which is easier to install in a tight space?
The GE. It vents from the rear, left or bottom, and its door is reversible. The Whirlpool vents from the rear only, with a 64-inch maximum vent run.
Which lasts longer?
Both are simple gas dryers with dial controls and few electronics, and owners of both report long service. The GE's aluminized alloy drum resists wear better than the Whirlpool's powder coat.
Is the Whirlpool worth stepping up to over the GE?
Yes, if you want cycle flexibility. The 14 cycles, four temperatures and Wrinkle Shield give more control. Pick the GE instead if drum size, venting options or an interior light matter more.
