What customers say
Customers highly value this Maytag dryer for its exceptional capacity and robust build quality, positioning it as a reliable workhorse for large families. The large drum easily accommodates bulky items, and features like steam cycles add significant convenience. The core appeal centers on dependable performance and durability, aligning with the brand's reputation for longevity. A consistent drawback noted by users is the operational noise level, which is often described as quite loud, especially at the start of a cycle. While drying power is strong, some sensor inconsistencies occasionally require minor manual intervention for heavily loaded items. Overall, it is viewed as a worthwhile investment for those prioritizing high volume and lasting quality over quiet operation.
Know before you buy
The Pet Pro option uses a specialized cycle that combines optimized airflow and heat to lift pet hair from fabrics. It then traps the hair in a heavy-duty lint trap, making it much easier to remove than standard lint collection.
Yes, the Steam Refresh cycle is designed specifically for this purpose. It uses steam to relax wrinkles and refresh garments that have been sitting in a closet or suitcase, saving you from having to re-wash or iron them.
Yes, it features Advanced Moisture Sensing technology. This system monitors the moisture levels inside the drum and automatically stops the cycle once your clothes reach the desired level of dryness, which helps protect fabrics from heat damage.
Yes, the door is reversible. This allows you to adjust the swing direction to best fit your laundry room's configuration and your personal workflow.
With a 7.0 cu. ft. capacity, it handles standard family-sized loads well. For particularly thick or heavy items, the Extra Power option is recommended, as it increases the drying time and heat to ensure those dense fabrics dry thoroughly.
No, this model is not stackable. It is designed as a standalone top-load dryer and must be installed side-by-side with your washer.
