I absolutely love this dryer. The best part about it is that because it is a gas appliance it dries clothes quickly, thoroughly, and very inexpensively. This is a basic dryer, but it does everything that you need it to do, which is basically just dry clothes. I really like the auto moisture sensing feature on this dryer because it doesn't over dry my clothes like some other dryers can. I've found that the auto moisture sensing feature is accurate and works very well too.
Another feature that I like about this dryer is how easy it is to clean out the lint trap. It sits on top of the dryer and just pulls out, so it's simple to use and doesn't make a mess.
I also have found that this dryer is able to handle big loads of clothes just as easly as it handles small loads of clothes. Even when I have the dryer absolutely full, clothes, towels, bedding, etc. all come out dry. The clothes that come out dry also come out dried evenly as well. I've had problems with past dryers where clothes would come out dry on some parts and wet on others, but I don't have that problem at all with this Kenmore Dryer.
I would absolutely recommend this dryer to anyone looking for a dryer, especially if you want a good dryer for a good price. I've owned this dryer for years and have never once had a single problem with it, nor have I had to make any service calls.
The machine lasted just long enough for the warranty to expire then started making horrible noises throughout the cycle that sounded like the buzzer when the cycle stops. Only, it would make the sound every time the gas started to flow. Had technician come out and the repair was going to be $500 ---- same price as a new machine! Kenmore piece of crap! I remember the days when this company stood behind its products and the name Kenmore signified high quality. Apparently that is no longer the case
Replced a similiar Kenmore Dryer in need of expensive repairs.Used 6 or 7 times so far. I dont prefer the side opening door versus up and down.The dryer auto dry seems to work very well, and this is also a lowere heat setting. I'd say it's dried the clothes completely each time, plus it's proably better on the clothes and energy cost. So far happy with it.
works great
The design of the lint trap system on this machine is terrible .my machine collects just a film of lint and the rest gets built up in the venting pipe over time, i have called and complained, but all I get is another plastic vent screen that performs as bad as the other one.
If you are looking for a great basic gas dryer this one is for you. No whistles or bells but great for drying. We replaced an older machine and so far have been very happy with the results.
Works grt for the price i paid. Hate that it doesn't have a light when you open the door & the door likes to swing back-n-forth when you're trying to get the clothes out. :(
Got this in 2001 and it's still working good! Always a Kenmore Fan.
too noisy
This dryer works great! It has adjustable settings for different type of materials. It drys silk nicely.

I bought this dryer because of space limitation I needed a smaller dryer. It takes a long time to dry a small load of towels and it is super noisy. I wouldn't recommend it, unless you want a cheap dryer that is only average at drying clothes.
The Kenmore 6,0 Gas Dryer has been a great buy for the money. It is very efficient and simple to use - and very affordable.
Our old stack dryer gave out and we replaced it with this one. It doesn't have any bells or whistles but just does what it's supposed to. The installer put in new outlet hoses which look and work better than the old ones we had. We're very happy so far!!
