I bought this with the matching washer about 2 years ago. I wanted it because it's huge, plus no cons with this dryer. I love not only the size of this dryer but it's also touch buttons. This dryer also has the steam option, so yes it connects also to the hot water tap. I bought the set and let Lowe's install them for me so the hose splits off from the washer hose and goes to my dryer also.
I have put soaking wet clothes in this dryer and it drys them every time. It also has several options to choose from besides steam. Of course it has the basic options like every other dryer, but it also has a sanitize option and towels option. I personally keep mine on sanitize, which it makes the clothes very hot. I do not recommend pulling the clothes out right away if you let it go through the entire cycle, your clothes will be very very hot.
Every mom needs this dryer, it'll keep those stuffed animals clean without worry. It fit my queen comforter in it with no problem. No problems with having any wetspots on any of my clothes or blankets, and I wash a lot of blankets.
