Adequate dryer – We chose a sensor dryer because that what we've had in the past. The Electrolux looks good and is quiet. Unfortunately it's not effective as a sensor dryer -- clothes are still damp when it switches off. This is so even when carefully sorting different weights of fabric. Never had this problem with the previous brand -- they were dry when the machine switched off.
So now we're using the Electrolux as a semi-auto dryer. Start it on the 'very dry' sensor cycle then finish off with 30 minutes manual dry to actually dry the clothes. We needn't have spent an extra $150 to get the sensor function. Could have got the same result from a $300 manual dryer. In hindsight we should have bought the Fisher & Paykel. Looks good and reasonable quiet. Produces little lint so must be a fairly gentle tumble action. Sensor dry function ineffective.
The dryer has been replaced by a basic F&P sensor dryer. The F&P not only dried the clothes completely it took 30 minutes less time to do it. Personally, I will never buy another Electrolux product.

5 May 2014 update: Dryer has failed after two years. Won't start tumbling. Also, the circular door frame is cracked. I am really suffering from buyer's remorse over this Electrolux product. Will head off to the shops shortly to buy a quality dryer.
