I have the LG Gas dryer with steam. It holds more water than you think, and it works great for removing wrinkles and such from clothes. I prefer the water container over the hose connection due to another hose I have to worry about leaking. The dryer itself dries even the heaviest loads fast without over drying them and baking the clothes. Ive had the dryer two years and have had no issues with it at all, unlike my POS wave force washer, which I recently replaced with a speed queen washer. You dont want to leave the container full of water if your not using it as it might try to grow mold in it and such. I empty mine after I use the steam feature
