if you're gonna spend a lot of money on a dryer you'd better be getting plenty of features for the price the new Wi-Fi connected dryer from GE hopes to tempt potential shoppers with a laundry list of extra features and Wi-Fi connected smarts this dryer offers plenty of drying cycles modes to handle lots of different kinds of fabrics and clothing types you also get a large seven-point eight cubic foot capacity as well as an easy-to-use knob style control what's really interesting about this dryer though are its app connected smarts basically it has a Wi-Fi radio built into it and that links to your home network so you can see what is happening in the dryer from your phone or your tablet but there are definitely some things I do not like about this dryer first of all it's design is definitely on the boring side especially for if dryer costs $1,200 what's also annoying is that the controls are back mounted that means you have to reach over the entire dryer just to manipulate the controls and that's pain I could forgive all the other failings except for the fact that this dryer dry slower than other dryers we've tested so for all the hard work that GE put into the smarts of this dryer hopefully next time they'll come out with a machine that dries a little faster
