Whirlpool Duet Dryer Review

I have had it up to here with the Duet washer and dryer. Mine are 6 years old - perhaps something has changed dramatically, but I am disgusted by the Whirlpool, Maytag and Jenn-Air appliances. (We are typical family of 4.)  Dryer lint trap, being vertical, allows items to slip down the sides.  Coins, shirt stays and guitar picks have all slipped through the lint trap sides before we figured this out.  Several coins rolled onto the mother board over time, eventually shorting it out!!!  This was an expensive sales call.  You try to check pockets - but don't believe that nothing can slip alongside lint trap.  Also, the narrowness of vertical lint trap makes it so you cannot get your vacuum nozzle into it (even w/attachments) to suck out lint that gets past the lint trap. AND they don't make a special brush for cleaning it out either.  I have similar complaints about the washer.
