Ratings & Reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Another Great Maytag I purchased this new washer and dryer set to replace a 30 year old Maytag set I had as a hand me down. I have to say I was pretty sad to see my old set go, they had been such a great starter set for many young ladies before myself and I almost felt guilty I was the end of the line for them. That being said, after the 30 year run my old set had through countless moves and owners, I felt like the only thing to do was once again buy Maytags. I am so happy with my new set. They have some great features but are not overly complicated. They do a wonderful job cleaning my clothes and are so quiet! I hope to have many more years with this wonderful set!

Rated 3 out of 5 by nutfamily5 from I like it, but... It's a great dryer and has a nice sized drum, but a month after I purchased it, the start button quit working regularly. There are times I stand there for minutes holding and pushing the start button over and over to get it to start. At first I thought it was the lint screen since the light is always on to clean it. I always clean it after I unload it, I started cleaning it before I start the dryer, but it doesn't make any difference. There are times that it works fine and if the appliance center comes to look at it they charge a service fee if it works and Murphy's Law is that it will work fine when they're here. It's very annoying to have a brand new dryer that I can't always get to start.

Rated 1 out of 5 by SmurphOH from Brand new and hate it, will return it ... I have only have this dryer for a week with the matching washer that I hate. 1. It doesn't dry. It runs a cycle and the clothes are still wet. 2. The start button is very difficult to use. I have to push it several times. 3. I have to slam the door to get it to latch. Gently pushing it does not work. My last two sets of washers and dryers were Maytag. They were the front loaders and I was happy with them. The only reason I have to replace them now is because I lost my house to a wildfire. I hate this set. I can't say enough how much I hate this set. If 0 Stars was an option, that's what I would rate it.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Best.Mom43 from Quick Drying Time! I wanted to give my review after I've had the dryer for a few weeks. I LOVE it! I had previously owned Kenmore Elite for the past 10 years. It was supposed to be top of the line with Sears. I was never really happy with the dryer because it took about 1-1/2 to 2 hours to dry my clothes. Maytag Pro's: Quick drying time (approx 40 minutes) Maytag Con: I'm not sure about the lint collection. There seems to be a little more lint left on the clothes compared to the Kenmore. I will take the Maytag over the wasting my day drying clothes with the Kenmore.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Patty1153 from Awesome Appliance I bought this dryer just two weeks ago to replace my 24-year-old Maytag that I'd had since 1994! This dryer does a great job of drying my clothes in such a short period of time! Also, my clothes smell so good when I get them out of the dryer, even though I have not changed dryer sheets! And nothing is ever wrinkled! It has many great features, one of which is steam, but I haven't used that setting yet. However, I am very pleased with it thus far. The drum is huge! I love the 5 year parts and labor warranty that accompanied it, along with the 10 year Maytag guarantee. Definitely a great investment!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ajc1 from Maytag dryer. Start button issue. We are happy with the dryer. We did call on what we thought was an issue. The turn on button work fine.. Press and it goes on. The start button is another story. It has a sensor so you have to only lightly press it. We had a tough time with it since we pressed and did all sorts of tricks but couldn't get to start for long time. The service guy came in and said he sees this all the time with this maytag. The issue was resolved with a simple press to feel your pulse. Think they should have come up with a better solution or noted this in their documentation. Otherwise large capacity dries well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Pianolady7 from Nice variety of settings! I have used this dryer for almost two months and I am very pleased with the variety of setting to choose from! I feel that the dryer safely dries all of my wash loads, from delicate clothing to heavy work clothes, and from small to large loads. It is fairly quiet when it runs, and depending on the load, does not seem to take as long to dry my clothes as my old machine did. The big capacity of the drum allows me to put in large and heavy bedding loads. I like the damp/dry signal that reminds me to re-arrange large items part of the way through the drying cycle. The wrinkle out feature with or without steam is a wonderful feature that I use often. I am very happy with this purchase! Thank you, Maytag!

Rated 4 out of 5 by BigD 1 from Solid Current Technology Dryer Dryer does the job well, particularly since the washer does an excellent job of removing water from the clothing in the spin cycle. There are a couple of niggles with its operation. First, the dry door has a catch that requites a significant amount of force to close it. In fact, so much force that we are concerned that over time, it might result in a problem. secondly, using the sensor to determine when the dry cycle is finished sometimes (usually when the amount of clothing being dried is small) indicates that it is dry when it feels slightly damp to the touch. Ordinarily, the dryer completes the cycle with clothes that are ready to fold and mostly wrinkle free. The steam option is a hit with my wife, particularly for sheets, but we are still evaluating whether it is worth the additional cost.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Stormin' Norman from Quiet and Large Capacity This dryer actually deserves 4.5 stars, but that is not one of the choices. It replaced an ancient Maytag (20+ years old) dryer. Going from an old, simple unit to this new, sophisticated electronic model has been a challenge in experimenting with all the different "customized" settings to see what combination works the best for each load. So far, the dryer has worked very well and does a nice job of handling a wide variety of wash loads. It does not dry clothes as quickly as my old unit, but it is much quieter and holds a much larger load of clothes than of the old unit.

Rated 3 out of 5 by CRP1 from Permanent press function is POOR! Over the dryer is large and dry well. We are not at all impressed with the permanent press wrinkle free setting. Our old Fischer Paykel dry setting was superior. Your cloths came out with no wrinkles. Also the sloping/curved design of the top of the dryer makes it hard to set anything on the top of the dryer.
