Excellent
Thrifty had our replacement heating element to us faster 3 days before we expected it and at half the cost of other websites. Dryer now works great...unfortunately there's no time to celebrate our DIY achievement as there are piles of laundry to tackle, sigh.

Great product and fast delivery
The dryer heating element for my dryer was very easy to install and I received it within 2 days when choosing the 2-3 day delivery. This was very helpful since I was out a dryer for a week and a half. Would purchase from this site again.

Great product at a great price!
I ordered this part on Tuesday and it came on Saturday. Mama is happy. I figure we saved a couple hundred bucks replacing ourselves. Thanks for the fast service!

So far so good and will buy another just in case
Part was delivered ahead of expected date.
Part was nearly a clone of the OEM part and installed with ease.
I will buy another to keep on the shelf next to the spare hot water heater element and heat pump caps.
Great service -
Very fast shipping
Part came in very quickly! My husband was impressed I fixed the dryer while he was at work.
