About

The LG DLE7150W is part of the Clothes Dryers test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, Electric Dryers models like the DLE7150W are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below.

Drying performance: This score combines performance on three types of laundry loads of different sizes and fabric mixes: A 12-lb. load, predominantly cotton, which includes jeans and towels an 8-lb. load of cotton/polyester blend clothing and a 3-lb. load of synthetic delicates, women's pajamas, nightgowns, bras and underwear.

Convenience: For this measurement, we judged controls and ergonomics, such as ease of loading and unloading, servicing the lint filter, whether the door could clear a tall basket, and whether the machine has a raised edge to contain spills.

Noise: Judgments made by a panel during the operation of the dryer, judging both sound quality and volume.
