Pros
- fits beautifully in small spaces
- wonderfully efficient
- easy to use.

Cons
- lint trap is embedded in the door and occassionally falls out. (Maybe I slammed the door too hard!)
- not large enough for a family of more than 3 or 4.


I rate this dryer a 5 out of 5.


Remember the old Maytag commercials where the repairman is so bored all the time because the machines work so well that he never has any work to do?

Well, for once the advetisers were dead on! I love my Maytag dryer! It is dependable, efficient, quiet and has not needed a repair or maintenence in the 4 years I have owned it.

I live in a condo and have a small closet for my washer and dryer. This dryer model fits perfectly and is stackable with the matching white washing machine.

I have owned other brands and models in the 20 years that I have been in my condo, and none of them stack up to this dryer. I had several problems with the washer/dryer combo before so I went with the stackable Maytags and haven't had to call the repairman yet. Poor, lonely Maytag repairman!

The dryer is very easy to opperate and has a sufficient number of control choices, without being overwhelming like some brands. Dryness and temperature choices consist of High, Medium and Normal.

There is a control dial to select from 6 drying cycles. The cycles are: Air Fluff, Damp Dry, Wrinkle Release, Normal/Auto Dry, Wrinkle Control and Delicates.

Each cycle has a specified drying time (indicated on an easy to read digital count-down timer) which can be adjusted with a push of the Adjust Time buttons (More Time or Less Time). The timed cycles are energy efficient.
