This dryer does what it is suppose to do. It will not overheat your clothes and will not leave them wrinkled. Make sure you clean out your dryer vent. No air-flow = no drying.It looks sturdy. I'm looking forward to having this dryer for years to come.The only suggestion I would make to Maytag is that they cover up the nut that sticks out in the middle of the dryer because threads can and do get tangled around it.

This thing gets the job done. My husband wears two white teeshirts each day and painter's white pants. We bought both the washer and dryer, and have been very pleased with their performance, from their high capacity to their ability to clean whites as well as delicates.
I was a first-time buyer of Whirlpool appliances. Glad I made that decision. My new Whirlpool Cabrio Platinum Dryer is great. The large load capacity and eco-friendly features save me money. The Touch-up Steam Cycle is perfect for tumbling out wrinkles.
Using this dryer on its default Normal setting with clothes that were washed using the Normal setting takes a significant amount of time--more than an hour in many cases. And even after completing the cycle, frequently items come out more damp than we'd like. It is possible for two washer loads to be complete before one dryer load has finished in our house, so wet clothes must wait to be dried. We've played around with modifying the settings, but sometimes you can't increase the dryness level depending on the cycle setting. We will probably start to choose manual settings until we find a setting that works more quickly and consistently.On several occasions, the Check Vent light has come on. I'm not quite sure why, as we empty the lint screen after each load and the vent hose is practically new. Most often, the light does not come on again once the next load has started and I haven't done anything except clean the lint screen. Kind of like the boy who cried wolf...Overall, it's a nice looking machine but we're a bit disappointed with the performance using the preset options.
