My dream dryer!!!!

by kanike2000 , Jul 08 '01
Pros: Dries quickly, super capacity, door is designed to save bad backs from having to stoop.
Cons: Nothing
This fabulous dryer entered my home after the sad and unfortunate demise of my 25 year old G.E. On it's 5th load for the day, smoke started pouring out of the door, which led me to believe it's day was done! I unplugged the poor but faithful thing,...

It's Maytag again for me!

by mikedog , May 20 '01
Pros: Easy-to-use controls. Large door opening.
Cons: No inside light, filter hard to clean. No way to disable buzzer
After 30 years our Maytag dryer's motor bearings finally went out, and it was time for a new dryer. I love the Maytag dependability so I bought this new dryer.

The dryer is easy to use, and has a moisture sensing cycle that really works...

After 3 years I've found that

by rhubarb , May 18 '00
Pros: Works , hasn't broken
Cons: Expensive
this is a great dryer.

Over the years, the dryers we have used have all been lower end dryers. Most have performed okay, but within a few years the other half would have to drag out his toolbox and get to work....Thank goodness for having...

NOT WHAT IT USED TO BE
by noltecl ,Jun 28 '04
Pros: None
Cons: Motor failed before 5 years
Our first dryer was a Maytag that lasted 25 years for 7 people. We bought a Maytag again but the motor failed in less than 5 years! I am very upset about this! Obviously, there is a poor design here. I thought I could count on Maytag.

Maytag!! Not what they used to be !
by ddpierson ,Jan 13 '04
Pros: Motor only good for 3 years
Cons: Engineering problem causes premature motor failure
If your looking to spend a bunch of money on a clothes dryer that will only last 3 years before the motor is toast then Maytag is for you ! Don't count on Maytag to stand behind their product either. Their customer service rep laughed at me on the phone !

These Dryers Are Junk
by beaglebellys ,Dec 28 '06
Pros: Easy to use.
Cons: Inferior motor, Poorly designed lint exhaust
I bought this dryer 4 years ago, brand new, on the assumption I would rather put quality before whistles and bells. Big mistake!

The motor burned up in 4 years (almost to the day). The rest of the machine is in pristine condition as I am the type of person that performs preventative maintenance 1-2 times per year. Replacement cost of the motor was $150 if I did it myself. This approaches half the cost of a new machine, especially when you add the fact that the motor switch was bad as well (an additional $50).

I also had the same problem as another reviewer with lint getting by lint trap. Tough to clean out because of the design of the molded plastic piece, even when disassembled.

I am amazed that a motor would fail before I even had a chance to replace the drum belt! This machine will be going to the landfill after 4 years use by 2 individuals. Pretty darn sad. I will not buy any more Maytag products.
