LG DLGX2651R

LG DLGX2651RI purchased this dryer from Home Depot and it works fine overall. One annoyance is that instead of a proper loud beep when it is done, it plays a little jingle which is very hard to hear unless you're in the same room. There is no way to change the volume or the jingle (except to turn it off entirely). It sort of defeats the point of a dryer which senses when it is done (rather than using a plain timer) if I can't hear when it finishes early. Dryers 30 years ago had no problem emitting a loud buzzer, but LG tried to get cute and it backfired.

Another minor issue is that, in most modes, you can't change the heat setting. So if I am using the default "cotton/normal" mode, it won't let me change the heat setting for that load from "medium". I can only do that from manual (timed) mode, and then I don't get the dryness sensing. When I'm in a real hurry, or when I'm washing very durable items, I'd like to be able to set the heat to high.

One thing to note is that this "white" dryer may not match the "white" of other brands. It doesn't match our Maytag washer, which is a more true white.

Update: I'm not sure if all the "not helpful" votes for my review are because people think my complaints are too petty or if I pissed off some LG dealer by giving only 3 stars. Shrug.
