Greetings! Thank you for sharing such a detailed and honest review. It's great to hear the dryer is doing a solid job with the core task, and your tip about adjusting the setting for mixed loads is really helpful. That said, it's completely understandable how the quiet end-of-cycle alert could feel underwhelming. When you're in another room and still can't hear it—even in a modestly sized home—it can make the feature feel more decorative than functional. A notification you can’t hear doesn’t really serve its purpose. As for the steam cycle, discovering that it requires a direct water line, especially when your local water quality isn't ideal, can certainly affect how useful that feature feels in day-to-day life. When expectations around a setting don’t quite match how it works in practice, it can leave you feeling like you’re not getting the full value from the appliance. A practical workaround is to connect your dryer to the SmartThings app on your mobile device. This model supports that integration, and once set up, you’ll receive a notification on your phone when the cycle ends. That way, you don’t have to rely on the built-in chime, which can be too quiet to hear from another room. The mobile alert gives you a much more reliable heads-up, especially when you're busy or working in a different part of the house.
