100% AGREE. Auto dry does what sensor dry does because it also takes moisture content into account- the more moisture in the clothes the longer the heater run time vs heater off time slowing down the overall advancement of the timer until moisture drops. Auto dry accounts for load size, dryness...

In a properly wired reputable, listed light I don't see much of a fire hazard. If the plastic casing emits sparks or catches the risk would still be there mounted on a ceiling tile or wall as anything could be underneath it like an office desk and catch fire. These are commercial units listed to...

Confusing and tangential, it is easy to get lost finding the right cycle then selecting the right options that go along with it. The push buttons can wear through and the electronic components have a finite life expectancy. I like appliances where you just turn to the desired setting already...

IIRC NYC now has a law that elevators have to have some type of emergency release or backup - at least that what was originally proposed after the west side Manhattan outage. Homes on well water also have the same problem, when the pressure tank runs out post power outage no more water...

I know. ;) Its just that I like wrought simplicity. I like the idea of having an uncluttered control panel with super simple control system on a very featured dryer ie super capacity and as you mention a door window. Temp is handy, however me personally I do almost everything on medium heat.

I am very, very envious of you lol. You are served by one of the worlds if not thee worlds most reliable power system. Con Edison spot and secondary grid networks can typically loose multiple primary feeder cables without any customer outages. Substations and transmission supplies have multiple...

Normally I never tape a wire nuts because it is not only of no advantage it leaves black goo on everything. However in this case being that I have a loose 18 AWG lamp cord coming in what is basically a hard mount unit turned portable I want absolutely no chance of a wire nut somehow rubbing...

The ones without electronics have always fascinated me. The Lithonia light I have now has a switch mode power supply and an extensive low volt circuit on the secondary of the high frequency transformer. Way more complicated, but at the same time it appears to be of quality components and design...

Neat. Do you have pics of the 1985 versions? I honestly like the look of EM lights from the 70/80s with the metal case, amp meter, protruding indicators, and parabolic beams. Big Beam still makes units which are reminiscent of the past: https://www.bigbeam.com/ Considering how they've got...

Does anyone else have home emergency lights? For me when the power goes out at night it becomes pitch black. It is so dark you can't even walk or find your way to the kitchen to get flash lights and candles. That movie has been lived through more than once during thunderstorms and when a car...

I feel like the same can be accomplished with less, but to each his own. I never use the end of cycle, the noise always scares me. Your end of cycle signal might be softer though. BOL control systems are easier for me to use, and more dependable I feel.

What cycles, options and features do you use on your dryer?

Alright, so the deed is done. I gave you a drum light with auto dry. What do you think?

Thanks :) This is how I like to imagine your dryer. The curved console compliments the simple cycle selection. What do you think?

Do you have a model number to your new dryer? Do you have a pic of the control panel? What cycles do you use? I can simplify the pic down a bit if you want.

The coin models are about the same- fast no nonsense cycles that do a good job of cleaning. The dryers on heavy duty cycle at around 150-155*F.

Here are the plastic stem timers I am thinking of, they are awful.

Maytag Commercial VMWs for home use are similar in parts Whirlpool commercial VMWs. On deep fill cycles (excluding normal eco) they fill to the height of the clothes.

The CEM2754FQ is a coin slide dryer, also made with the same components as the CEM2795JQ dryer. It is a great dryer and reasonable for actual commercial use. Whirlpools CAE2745FQ and CAE2795FQ are the only VMWs I'd consider buying. I don't think they are durable enough for commercial...

I think Whirlpool CEM2795JQ is absolutely the best dryer money can buy today hands down. If I had to buy a new dryer today I'd get that model. It is built similar to a vintage dryer. It is probably the second best dryer design ever made, Complimented with heavy duty parts. Only thing I don't...
