Is this dryer worth it over a basic gas dryer?

It adds moisture sensing, Wrinkle Shield, a Sanitize cycle, EcoBoost and app control over a basic model. If you dry large loads and want the dryer to stop on its own, those features earn their place.

Does it need a gas line and a vent?

Yes. It is a vented gas dryer, so it needs a gas hookup and an outdoor vent. The exhaust can run from the right, bottom, left or rear.

How does it compare with Whirlpool's smaller gas dryers?

The 7.4 cu. ft. drum is among Whirlpool's largest, so it fits comforters and sleeping bags that smaller drums struggle with. It also adds app control and Advanced Moisture Sensing.

Will it fit in a closet?

It is 27 inches wide and about 30.6 inches deep, built for closet-depth fit. Leave room for the door swing and venting.

What comes in the box?

The dryer, owner's manual, product guide and quick start guide. Gas connector and vent kit are not included.

Does the door open either way?

The side-swing door is reversible, so it can be set to open left or right to suit your room.
