I purchased an Electrolux Sensor Dry, which was almost 2 x price of cheaper brands, but wanted a dryer that will last around 5 years (that's probably the best we can expect these days). It was 3 weeks before warranty expired, and it stopped spinning. WE got it repaired under warranty, and exactly 4 months later, same problem. We paid to get it repaired ($170 or something like that) 4 months later (1 month after warranty) same, no spin.
I think we are better off just buying a cheap one and expecting them to last just after warranty period.
I dont like buying cheap crap, but i think all are same same these days, and should have bought cheap cheap.
