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

Pros
  • 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
Cons
  • 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.
