If a salesman told me I had to call a professional to clean the Electrolux Dryer once year and I had to pay for it, I would have walked from any Electrolux appliance for sale! And if a salesman doesn't tell you this, it's deceptive selling. How ridiculous!!! In my 60 years of existence no technician had to be called for a once a year of lint cleaning for a Kenmore and a LG dryer. User's recommendation: Stay away from Electrolux!
