I just redid my laundry room and I am very happy with my new appliances. They look great and work wonderfully. I love the soap dispensing cartridge so I don't have to add detergent every load. I am very happy with them.

This is a great dryer, especially for large loads. One thing I really like is that it gets clothes dry, not damp-dry the first time. No having to keep adding time.

Fragil... Don't look use me too much.

EQ3 9/11/2016

I bought this dryer in April. It worked well for the first month but then it started to make a clanking noise. The repairman came out and fixed it for us but told me the only explanation for the broken rod the drum had was that we used it too much. When I told him we had only had it 5 months he was shocked. Anyways, he fixedbit lado week and ir ese working fine intimate two days ago. So it worked well 5 days!

Hiker K 9/11/2016

On my 3rd Maytag washer and dryer. The first 2 lasted a total of 42 years for me that I know of. Maybe longer since, I left them in the house I moved from both times and they were still working when I left. Has this dryer 2 months and love it.

Small Capacity

Busy working grandma 6/21/2016

I thought I would love this as much as I do my Maxima washer, but I don't. Clothes don't dry very well and I have to split the washer's load in half or it turns into a wrinkled mess. In other words, it has half the capacity of its washer twin. What a pain. I've finally figured out how to compel it to dry a half load completely. Not that happy with it.

Great Dryer - Quiet

crysma 5/20/2016

Had the dryer for 4 months now and love it. Have 3 young kids so always am running a load of clothes or towels. No issues with the dryer. Have used the Refresh setting and it does "freshen" a "good" shirt or pants in a a relatively quick manner. Have had sheets and a half dozen towels in the dryer at once and all dried properly. Love it so far.

Reliability, Performance, High Value Retention - Hallmarks

5/9/2016

Reliability, Performance, High Value Retention - Hallmarks of the Maytag brand. I became a Maytag customer over 30 years ago when I purchased a second-hand 22 year old Maytag washer. Now I have just bought my second brand new set having left my first set to sell with my home. No regrets, only complete satisfaction. Over 30 years of Maytag ownership and only 2 service calls ever needed!

I purchased my set on Black Friday so have not had the opportunity to use it very much but to date I have found it works as advertised and I am not disappointed in my purchase. My previous dryer was also a Maytag and I trust the brand to perform and provide me with years of use without problems.

12/12/2015

I find the controls very hard to read with controls on front side, next washer will have controls on top. Also washer is larger than measured because back sticks out beyond cover. I miss the quick wash option.

I was so pleased with the first dryer I bought that I bought another one for my second home. The dryer is quiet and drys quickly. There a multiple settings that allow you to dry different materials but the normal setting is used 80% of the time and it drys clothes in 38 minutes.

We absolutely love our dryer it makes doing the laundry so much easier,no more ironing. My husband came home and told me that one of his friends from work actually thought I ironed all his cloths because of the creases in his jeans. We simply take them out of the dryer hang them with a crease and that is it.

Getting better everyday

Scurtisc 10/31/2015

I purchased the set with pedastals and the look really nice.Learning to use this type of washer was not to difficult, we have always had top load styles so this was foreignat first. I can't believe how much time I save with my 7.3 cubic foot capacity. No more splitting darks into three loads, pants all in one shot. The wash cycle does take longer then our top load did but this cleans way more efficient. Going through way less soap is saving us money as well. Only positives here for us.

We purchased this dryer a few weeks ago and love it! Its Moisture Sensing saves time and keeps us from over drying our clothes. It has great capacity for drying large, heavy items, such as our queen-size conforter. We like it so much that we have recommened it to several friends.

Huge Dryer

10/16/2015

I bought the matching 8100 model washer and dryer. The dryer has a huge capacity and has done a great job so far. I love that it has steam and have used it to get wrinkles out of shirts and it seemed to work well. I love that the machines are made in the USA. There is an energy savings button that presumably saves energy but increases drying time. Seems counter intuitive that adding a bunch of drying time saves energy. So far the washer dryer set has done a great job.

On this dryer, I esp. like the wrinkle control setting. I don't need to iron! I also love the refresh setting which takes out wrinkles after wearing slacks for eg. to freshen them up without having to iron or rewash if they are clean.
