What we like best
There's plenty to like about the LG DLEX3700W. Here's what we appreciate most:
• Clean lines and attractive fit and finish provide an updated look to any laundry room.
• Fully dry clothes since every load comes out between 99.7 and 100 percent dry.
• Steam Fresh cycle, which unwrinkled a cotton shirt in only five minutes.
• Speed Dry, which completes in 25 minutes.
• Wrinkle Care, which tumbles the clothes periodically to prevent creases from forming.
• A bright drum light that makes it easy to spot every last sock.
• An easy-to-remove lint filter that is simple to clean.
• The app that lets you select, start, or stop a cycle remotely.
• A 10-year warranty on the drum, suggesting that LG has lots of confidence in it!
What we don't like
After testing, we have only a couple of concerns:
• High temperatures: Our biggest concern is that this dryer runs very hot. With our temperature sensors, we measured the LG DLEX3700W's Normal cycle reaching 170°, substantially hotter than our 150° ideal temp. But don't worry—it's easy to use the control panel to turn down the heat. Or else, use the much cooler (108°) Delicates cycle. Many of the clothes you own probably call for 'tumble dry low' anyway. Check the label and you'll see.
• A long Normal cycle: The Normal cycle takes 83.5 minutes and that's a good deal longer than the 60-minute Normal cycles we've seen on many other dryers.
What owners say
Most online reviewers are very satisfied with the job the LG DLEX3700W dryer does. Many owners praise the quiet operation and numerous features it offers, with the steam settings especially popular. The main issue that a few users report is that the control panel is hard to read from some angles.
The Bottom Line
If you want a great-performing dryer that will stand proudly next to a white washing machine like the LG WM3770HWA, you should buy the LG DLEX3700W. Everything you load will come out fully dry and the Steam Fresh cycle could make ironing a thing of the past. The steam makes this dryer a good value since this model costs only about $50 more than its steam-free sibling, the LG DLE7100.
If you worry about high temperatures scorching your clothes and linens, it's easy enough to lower the temperature setting using the control panel. Though the Normal cycle takes a little longer to finish than you might prefer, when you're pressed for time, you can use the 25-minute Speed Dry cycle, which actually runs a little cooler and gets clothes just as dry.
The most notable thing about this dryer: It will get every basket of clothes dry in a single cycle and ease the wrinkles if you like. The only thing you'll have to do is fold.
