Are HE clothes dryers reliable, such as Heat Pump models?

Was looking at heat pump electric dryers as the prices come down, how are these doing as far as reliability?  How expensive are they to repair?  I am particularly interested in the Whirlpool hybrid models - and would prefer if I could find an American-made dyer to boot -

I haven't seen one in the field yet (just in training seminars)

Probably too early to render a verdict on durability---for any brand.

As John63 stated above, I haven't seen any in the field yet either.

Just curious: what aspect of the product (ventless for installation, energy savings, etc) is attracting you to this technology?

mainly energy savings, particularly if rebates become available - can't add gas line easily to my condo, adding a clothes drying cabinet, thought this would be a nice addition.  Seems much more complicated though, with a compressor to go out - wondering about reliability and repair costs - currently I use a compact GE electric dryer, with a indoor vent "the Better Vent" which does not require venting into water -
