My Maytag washer went kaput and I wanted a similar style washer and dryer. I saved a little by buying the older models (clear glass as pictured). This dryer has the steam option that I loved on my previous dryer. You can add it to your cycle and have relatively wrinkle-free clothing. I don't wear synthetics and typically wash my cotton clothes, towels, and sheets every other day. The steam feature helps a lot with natural fibers. The other feature I really like is the 10-minute Instant Refresh cycle with heat and steam. This is great for my light, cotton jackets, jeans, and cotton or linen trousers that don't need to be washed after every wear. It also gets out any wrinkles that may have shown up while drying. This dryer has a lot of bells and whistles and the optional pedestal is wonderful.
The dryer is almost as big as my last one, since I wash and dry king size comforters often. I'm finding it works well, but the feature I'm enjoying the most is the steam option. I use this to help get my husband's dress shirts wrinkle free!! Love it!
Dryer is very nice overall, wish the pedestal wasn't an additional cost and so expensive. Load completion chime could be louder, but love the capacity and features of this dryer.
Overall I am pleased with the performance of this dryer. I dries cloths evenly and detects precisely how long and what heat is required to dry. Clothes are in good shape when finished. I do have one minor issue. The design allows for a small buildup of lint in the door seal that I must periodically clean in addition to the lint trap bit this os minor.
