AeroSmart was Fisher & Paykel’s attempt to make a dryer that reasons about the load instead of running a clock, and the factory’s own product evaluation document for the DE27CW1 — updated February 2007 — spends pages on drying stages, auto-sensing and dryness levels precisely because that was the selling point. It is also the reason the commonest complaint on one today is a cycle that ends at the wrong moment: when the sensing drifts, the dryer does exactly what it is told to do with bad information.
