Maytag MET3800TW washer and dryer

by Any Tony
(Laurel, MS USA)

I moved in behind my parents house in a small apartment they own. It basically has no space for anything, and I had no space for a side by side washer or dryer.

I decided to purchase the stacked washer and dryer because I knew it would fit, and it would eliminate me dragging clothes across town and sitting for three to four hours. I didn't know how I would feel about having a dryer stacked on the washer, but it is actually more convenient. You can pull your clothes right out of the dryer into a basket and take them somewhere else to fold. It's great.

The dryer also does not get in your way of washing clothes. It's just as easy to put clothes in with the dryer on top. It doesn't hold loads as large as other washer and dryers because it is space saving, so you have to do multiple loads. If you do not have it balanced right, it will make noise. Balance for this machine is also important.

We didn't have mine balanced correctly the first time. The dryer is somewhat small. You can not dry large loads of clothes, and it doesn't dry the fasted. It's not terrible, but it doesn't have a high enough temperature to dry clothes of a large quantity at a fast time. You can only dry four to five pairs of pants at one time. It takes a long time for blue jeans. Basically, I have to set the timer twice.

The washer holds about five pairs of pants also. It doesn't hold much. It doesn't have the efficiency of the larger washer and dryers because of it's small size, but that is why it is a space saver stacked washer and dryer. I would like it to be a little larger with more better washing and drying times.

Also, I wished it offered more options for delicate clothes. Overall, it is a good washer and dryer that saves a lot of space. It's a little pricey for what you get as for a working ability, but your paying for space saving.

a bit pricey

Maytag MET3800TW washer and dryer I moved into a fairly small apartment so I was limited on my space. I needed to purchase a stacked washer and dryer. I decided on the Maytag MET3800TW.

This combo is a convenient space saver. The dryer does not impede the washer and it's easy to transfer clothes from the washer to the dryer. Most heavy loads will stay balanced.

This machine seems a bit pricey for the size of the machine. You cannot wash or dry large loads of laundry nor can the loads be heavy. At the very maximum five pairs of jeans at a time in both the washer and dryer. The time settings need to be longer.

I find myself having to reset each load to get the job done properly. It runs very quiet and is a big energy bill saver. There are twelve water temperatures and multiple cycle settings including a delicate cycle to make washing your clothes easy. It even has a hand wash cycle proven to be safe on all hand wash items.

My biggest gripe with this machine is the door lock. Once it is locked you have to run it through the cycle before it will unlock. The digital time reader is completely wrong on this machine.

I've found it takes double the time that it suggests is left in the cycle. There is space for a basket under the dryer making it easy to remove clothes from the dryer.

Over all this is a decent washer dryer combination. What you spend in price will be saved on trips to the laundromat.
