I can't tell you how many reviews on different brands of machines I read before I 'just did it!' Some of the reviews about this washer and its dryer mate weren't very pleasing.
It's nearly October and I've been using my W&D set since February. After having used front-load Whirlpool machines for 5+ years and the standard type of machine you'd find in a rental apartment for many years previous I knew what I like and don't like. I feel that if you're ready for a step up in your laundry machines then this is the set for you.
As an experienced user of front-load machines - The ability to dry a queen size bedspread and the storage drawer (available for an additional fee) was nice. It was 'fun' to be able to watch your clothes tumble dry, but it didn't get my clothes any drier.
The Maytag Bravos W&D set is wonderful. I am so glad I bought this set. I don't have really any complaints about the dryer. The dryer readily accepts a queen size blanket/comforter. I jest that two small children can fit into the tub for a good washin'! The dryer could dry two small children. (All in jest of course)
I am quite fond of my Maytag Bravos dryer. It does its job efficiently. My complaints about this dryer would be that....the low setting really isn't that low.
UPDATE: After having had the dryer for over a year I do have three complaints. 1. I wish I didn't have to push a button for all the lights to go off in the display. If the cycle is over, all the lights should go out. The same goes for the washer. 2. It gets very very hot!! I make sure I only run the dryer for no more than 20-30 minutes at a time. I never use the other settings. I frequently check my exhaust tube and there is little if any debris in it. I have a household of two adults and checking it every 6 months is alot. I wonder what the inside of the machine is like. 3. No volume on the buzzer. It REALLLLY does not want you to forget about it. Seriously.
- Last but not least...if I could have a found a less expensive comparable set of machines I would have bought them. I don't ever recall complaining about my plain top load big washer and dryer I bought 15 yrs ago from JCP.
