Kenmore's 81383 dryer is practical, not packed with high style (pictures)

Decked out in a generic design with unremarkable shades of silver and gray, the Kenmore 81383 dryer looks like plenty of other laundry appliances.

A front-facing control panel help this dryer to support vertically stacked arrangements as well as a pedestal accessory.

The cycle knob is big and easy to rotate .

A small screen and buttons below it control additional cycle settings.

Aside from standard cycles automatically controlled by moisture sensors, you also have the option of drying by elapsed time.

The 7.4 cubic foot capacity drum on the Kenmore 81383 dryer is a little smaller that what some other machines offer.

Since the dryer doesn't connect to a dedicated water line, you'll have to fill its steam feeder tank by hand.
