Rated 4 out of 5 by SuzyQwhereRu from Giant Capacity and More... I bought this dryer a few months back and over the years I’ve had all different brands of washers and dryers but this is my first Maytag. I’ve been pretty impressed with the various dryer cycles and the ability to save time and money. I have a family of six with 3 of my 4 children in sports it’s important that I can dry as big a load as possiable before the game now I also have the matching washer which is pretty awesome it’s self too! So I’d say it’s the best bang for your buck currently at the big brand stores now and I’ve been very happy so far I’m able to wash and dry double the size of my previous set and I love the many options

Rated 4 out of 5 by SteveAreno from Replacing 24 yr old Maytag Washer & dryer set Bought this to replace my Maytag Washer & Dryer I bought in 1994. In 1994 I bought the best units I could find, hopefully I have done that with this new set as well. Any chance I will get 24 years out of this set????

Rated 4 out of 5 by BusyMom247 from Not as impressed as I imagined I was very excited to use this machine when I first purchased it. I have had a front-loading washer for nine years. I bought this machine because it had a larger capacity and I was looking forward to less trips to the laundromat for the large items that wouldn't fit in my old machine. I have found that this machine doesn't move the clothing around as much as I hoped to help them rid of stains. I have been having to pretreat, use oxygen booster, and wash items multiple times for soiling. These things I seldom did with my front load machine. I have also noticed when washing my king-sized sheets that some areas are still dry or nearly damp due to the machine not moving them around appropriately. But I do love the load capacity, the overall look of the machine, and the pleasant-sounding tones it gives. I only wished it lived up to my full expectations of laundering.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Kansas2018 from Broken I bought the washer and that same night I had problems with the water level not being high enough to even cover the load. They put the new computer in it (which was a job alone getting the repair man to do it) and it still doesn’t fill, so now I have to do a deep wash and extra rinse only to wait an hour and half to maybe clean clothes
