Overview
The Kenmore 8.0 cu ft front load gas dryer pairs 12 drying cycles and Accela Steam technology to reduce wrinkles, static and odor, aimed at households wanting a large-capacity dryer with steam refresh options.
There is not yet a large enough review base to say much about long-term reliability.
- 12 drying cycles with 8 additional options
- Accela Steam Refresh cycle in about 15 minutes
- Energy Saver rated to cut energy use up to 8.2%
- 8.0 cu ft extra-large capacity drum
Who it's for
Fits households replacing an aging dryer who want steam-assisted wrinkle and odor reduction alongside a large 8.0 cu ft drum. Less relevant for anyone without an existing gas hookup, since this is a gas model rather than electric.
Pros and cons
- Large 8.0 cu ft drum for bigger loads
- Steam refresh cuts wrinkles and odor quickly
- Smart moisture sensor avoids over-drying
- LED touch controls show cycle status and time
- Gas model requires an existing gas hookup
Performance notes
Accela Steam generates steam for the Steam Refresh cycle, cutting wrinkles, static and odor on roughly a 3 lb load in about 15 minutes, and can be paired with Wrinkle Guard to keep finished laundry from setting wrinkles while it waits to be folded. A moisture sensor is meant to stop the cycle once clothes are dry rather than running a fixed timer, and Energy Saver mode is rated to cut energy use by up to 8.2 percent compared with a normal cycle.
