Cons

  Some users report damp clothes even after lengthy drying cycles, implying Auto Dry may sometimes underperform.
• Stiff control knob & heavy door reported

Conclusion

The ETD48GASWWB offers strong value with its large capacity, Auto Dry feature, long-duct venting, and extra conveniences like interior lighting and Spanish-language control. Its performance makes it well-suited for families and bulk laundry. However, it's not perfect—some users experienced damp loads, stiff controls, and noisy operation. If you highly prioritize dependable moisture-sensing, quiet performance, or lighter-duty operation, you might consider GE’s sensor-dry models (like the GTD58 series) or competitor brands. Overall, it's a robust, well-featured choice if you want solid drying with room for larger loads—and can tolerate occasional quirks in controls or cycle precision.
