No problems so far and would recommend to all my friends

Combo purchase Maytag have not received yet but hoping it is a great purchase

This seems to be a good item so far. Gets really hot so drying made easy

If not for the noise, this product is great. Maytag can be trusted.

I've had this dryer for a few weeks and I cannot get a load through without an error code. E3/F3 and stops running. A Maytag appointment has been made. I will update after I can hopefully use my dryer again.

I purchased this at Best Buy and it was delivered without all of thenecessary installation parts. Despite ordering it over 30 days ago, installation was just completed a few days ago, and I haven't had a chance to try the dryer out yet. The experience of purchasing this at Best Buy has been extremely time consuming and frustrating.

My old dryer is better than this and not sure whether it is defective piece and time they taking to sort this out is not acceptable.

I really like this dryer with the steam option. It does a great job of drying and does not beat up my clothes because the lint filter is not packed full like my old dryer was on some loads.

Broke after 6 weeks, and took over two weeks and three visits to fix it. Unacceptable.

We replaced our top load washer with a front load washer against all of our friends advice. We had 2 top load HE washers that were supposed to be top of the line models over the past 8 years and nothing but problems with each. First it was the Whirlpool Cabrio washer dryer pair, which mind you the dryer lasted for 8 years, and within the first year we had the washer worked on twice. The mother board went out and was replaced as well as the stater just before the extended warranty expired. When the machine would no longer spin the clothes out after the warranty expired we went with an LG top load. Again, problems immediately... We posted the question of front load or top load to social media and watched the front load bash fest begin. To our surprise only 2 people said they loved their front load washer. All of the complaints were smell. After researching what caused the smell and a solution in front load washers we researched the best front load washers on the market and bought the Maytag Fresh Hold MHW5500FW0 from Lowes. We bought there because the return policy was 30 days compared to Best Buy's 14 day. 3 weeks in we loved the washer and decided on the matching dryer, MGD5500FW0. Our old dryer took too long to dry and would leave clothes wet a lot of the time. Our new gas dryer is so quick and efficient in getting the clothes dry. I'd have to credit a portion of this statement to the washer because of how well it spins out the clothes. Yes, it used very little water to wash a load of clothes but it does get them very clean! Our old one used so much water and continued to reset back to rinse cycle over and over until we stopped it and set it to spin only. Also, all of our old set in smelly towels are fresh and clean again. We just wash them with baking soda every so often and let the washer do the rest. The gas dryer has a load of towels completely dry in less than an hour where our old dryer would run for almost 2. Key to keeping the front load washer from developing a smell is don't wash if you can't swap over the clothes in a reasonable amount of time, wipe down the gasket with a paper towel and leave the door open to let the moisture evaporate. And, use the Affresh cleaner once a month to get rid of the soap buildup. We love our washer and dryer pair and would recommend to anyone. By the way, the washer finishes a large load of clothes in about half the time as our old washer did.

I've been using this dryer for a couple of months, and so far it's worked perfectly. At first the auto-dry sensors left the laundry wet (a problem I also had with my previous dryer), but for whatever reason it now works just fine. No problems with speed of drying, dryness, indicator, noise, or ease of use.

Liked everything about it... except the water hookup! The engineers at Maytag must not know what they are doing because a standard water hookup line leaks when connected to the brass male pipe on the dryer. The thread and size are right but the end is cut flush rather than beveled. This makes the metal flange on the hookup line push up against the flat surface of the brass pipe before the rubber flat washer makes contact and prevents a tight seal. The result is a leak. I had to file down the flange on the hose so the rubber washer stuck out more than the flange. Used pipe dope too. What a joke. This is not an issue with the connector hose because our washer hookup was fine and all the connections to the supply work fine out of the box.

Dries very fast and evenly. Usually use the second hottest setting. Hot is really hot which is great for towels and heavy items. I like a lot of the features it has especially the one that tells you if it isn't venting properly so you know when you have to clean out your vent
