Clothes dryers of Samsung Electronics Co. have been rated top by consumers in the United States and European markets despite its late entry to the sector, the company said Wednesday.

CNET, an American tech product review site, said Samsung’s washers and dryers are the best pair in terms of “smart” features and outstanding performance. Its FlexDry clothes dryer has a separate unit to dry delicate clothes and fabrics, and users can access through an app to control the machine and check in on the dryer’s status remotely, it added. It also highly evaluated the DVE45M5500Z dryer for its fast drying time and high energy efficiency.

U.S. daily newspaper the Chicago Tribune also picked Samsung’s DVE52M8650W the best electric dryer. With its 12 preset cycles and four temperature settings, users can “truly tailor this machine to meet their drying needs,” it said, while praising its energy star-rated energy efficiency, easy-to-read display and reversible door.

Samsung’s clothes dryers also ranked highest in the 2019 Laundry Appliance Satisfaction Study by JD Power by receiving a score of 880 out of 1,000.

The products have also been received well in the European market.

Germany’s product test magazine ETM chose Samsung’s DV81N62532W the best dryer for its Air Wash feature that deodorizes and sanitizes clothes, and easy monitoring via a smartphone app. British daily newspaper Mirror picked Samsung’s DV90M50003X as one of the best tumble dryers of this year, saying the product offers sleek and sophisticated design as well as high energy efficiency and ingenious features like a drying rack for delicate fabrics.

“Samsung’s dryers receive favorable reviews in the U.S. and Europe where competition is much fierce,” said Song Myung-ju, director at the Consumer Electronics Business Division of Samsung Electronics. “After grabbing the top spots in the U.S. and Korea thanks to the outstanding performance, we will continue to work hard to expand sales in other regions across the globe.”
