The big new Bosch dryers may not perfectly match it, although, it will be the best choice. They not only dry well, they are bigger than the old one, and much bigger than the washer, which can be a big bennifit in your drying time. I reciently helped a friend pick out a dryer, the old one was a Frigimore dryer, similar to the GE, Frigimore washer, although newer than the dryer, they totally love them together! The virgin load took 34 minutes to dry, and they were all towels. We used the regular sensor dry, the display says one hour one minute, one the dryer sences the load, and how much miosture is in it, then you have a reliable and very acurate count down display. My friend has a family of four, and often times more on the weekends, she does respate care, sometimes having eight kids in the house, it never misses a beat,Your friend will love this dryer, they are usually 849, my friend bought hers on sale for 749, worth every penny, and with your friends discount, she will have a great dryer to take home, Good Luck

I'm with several of the others here: With that much laundry to do, go with a dryer that has a larger drum---Whirlpool or GE, for instance. I find that a very full load in my washer (like your son's) overloads my Frigidaire dryer. If they don't mind an unmatched pair, go for a big drum! If they go for a Frigidaire (to keep a matched set), be sure they get the TOL machine (still very inexpensive) with a moisture sensor. My 2001 Frigidaire didn't have that feature, so I replaced it and like the moisture sensing dryer better. Be sure to let us know what they get; We're nosy that way, you know, LOL! |

Bosch does make a terrific dryer...very high airflow and quiet. The Kenmore/Whirlpool dryers are still among the best on the market...big, quiet, fast and reliable. |

I'd go with a Kenmore/Whirlpool/KitchenAid hands down. Quiet, relieable, great capcity for a family load. Parts are always available if needed. Why go through a headache of repairs(GE's don't have the best track record now days) I'd spend the money for something alot more reliable and suitable for family loads day in and day out useage.
