This dryer is adequate and does as decent a job as any dryer would. It's sensor cycles are a bit odd, however, and give very misleading estimates of time remaining. This is especially true on the delicate cycle. Maybe it's just a quirk in my machine, but I stopped it once to pull something out that I only wanted to fluff for a a couple of minutes, and when I resumed the cycle, the remaining time read something like 97 minutes when it had started out with a 35 minute estimate. Because it was a delicate load I kept a close eye on it and after about 25 minutes it was still reading 70+ minutes so I stopped the cycle, not wanting to cook my clothes. Now I just use the timed cycle to do things on low and for a limited time. The lint screen is at the front of the tub and very easy to access (and also right in front of my face every time I load the dryer) so I never forget to clean it.

We started making payments on this dryer along the side of the washer of the same make/model about 4 years ago.  I have never had a dryer before just a washer so it was nice to have both in our own home.  I HATE laundrymats and I absolutely love being able to do laundry at home!  Our lint trap isn't fully sealed on the bottom but I think that is just ours that we got and not them overall.  That doesn't effect our fluffy lint from being built up on our trap so I use it. It's a pretty big dryer, and I can put our clothes in it no problem.  I have to use the mode heavy duty in order to make sure it's all dry.  Sometimes a pair of jeans or a heavy shirt needs to be hung up to dry a little but it's really not a big deal.  I just lay them down in the bedroom.  The wrinkle mode I find annoying because you hear the dryer turn off and turn on again.  You think to yourself come on just turn off already! If I remember I turn it off before I turn on the dryer.  That is the major thing I can think of that would be a downside.  I am sitting there watching tv hearing the dryer turn on and off in the background.  After about 3 times sometimes I get up just to turn off the dryer. Overall, I like this dryer.  I think we will use it for many years.

We bought the Maytag Bravos Washer and Dryer pair about year ago. This dryer works wonderfully and a nice large capacity to fit even the fullest of loads! It has an easy to use interface with a wide variety of drying options. I especially like the option of being able to adjust the volume of the chime when a load is finished. Since our machines are in the basement, we can easily turn it up in order to hear them from upstairs. You also have the option for an alert to sound when clothes are damp dry (great when drying fabrics for quilting). There is also a wrinkle prevent option, which is helpful. You can turn the drum light on and off in case you don't want it to turn on when you open the door, or you want it on while the door is closed (the door is see-through so you can see in without opening).  This pair looks really nice together and I've been very impressed with the quality. If you are looking for a new washer and dryer, which would be the pair to get.
