    Great dryer. Matches my new washer (see my review). Lots of settings for different types of clothes. Takes a lot less time to dry clothes than my old Kenmore which was about 20 years old. Very quiet. Fits in my laundry closet perfectly. This was a best pick from Consumer Reports.

    Large capacity. Senses load capacity and when fabrics are dry so you don’t have to worry about over drying or wrinkled fabrics. Best Buy delivery was on time and awesome.

    This dryer is awesome! It’s really big for our needs and does a great job. I love all the different functions it has. I’m looking forward to hopefully many years of service. Our other dryer is also a Maytag and it’s still going. The only trouble we had with that one is one of the tumblers in it broke but even that can easily be fixed.The only reason we replaced it is because we got a new Maytag washer and we wanted the new dryer to go with it. We also love our new washing machine as well and are looking forward to many years of service as well.

    Everything about this Maytag Dryer is nice and a pleasure. The USA Quality Build of this Machine is Top Notch.

    Poor Design - Unmatched Dryer Front Panel

    Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The dryer works fine and has many options for me to get my clothes dry. The wrinkle prevention cycle can run for hours so I have to attend to it as soon as the cycle is complete. I love the app notifications of "your clothes are dry." What I am really dissatisfied about is that the front panel (the white metal part) of the 6230 model dryer does not match the size of the front panel on the 6230 model washer. The corners on the front of the dryer are not the same rounded edges as those on the washer. The front panel is about 3/4" shorter than the front panel of the washer. The legs show which makes the panel deficiencies even more noticeable, as well as cheap. This is not pleasing to the eye and is a big distraction to look at. It looks like a hillbilly selection from an overstock scrap pile was used for the design. Whoever drew up the designs for the washer and dryer does not know art or his trade. He made a real ugly decision. Because of the pandemic difficulties to order appliances in stores, I ordered the dryer online and was not able to find a picture of the washer and dryer together. Otherwise, I would have caught this. This is a huge strike against Maytag, whom I have supported for over 30 years. My neighbor’s LG does not have this same flaw.

    There was a dent in the side of our dryer. We had just unboxed it, and as we were moving it in, we saw the dent. We are pretty disappointed because we bought these machines brand new. Our washer came without a leg/stand also. Im just not sure what can conenoutnof this, or how Best Buy could even make it right.

    I read all the reviews before I bought this. All reviews are right on. If you can afford this dryer, it’s worth every penny. The dryer is quiet, dries clothes in appropriate time, has enough drying choices and easy to use. Going into store to purchase and setup my delivery was easy. One thing to know is Best Buy requires customers to purchase Best Buy new appliance cord and venting. Those purchases are more expensive than the box stores. The delivery guys were A+, even asking me if I have any questions.

    I bought this dryer to match the Maytag washer I purchased last year when my old washer gave out. I figured my dryer would also go out eventually, as it was part of a set, but it lasted over a year more. This new dryer is efficient and does its job well. The things I dislike about it are pretty minor and I can work around them. I feel that the door doesn't close as easily as it should (it's the bottom hinge model). You can't close the door on the dryer in one push unless you slam it. It has a stop on it for some reason at about 2/3 closed that means you have to give it another push to close it all the way. It also doesn't have a "solid" door close; it's kind of "tinny". I also dislike the fact that to turn on the dryer, I have to first hold down the power button for some time. You can't just push the button, you have to hold your finger on it. Same goes for starting the cycle--you have to hold the button for 3 seconds (it helpfully counts down for you) before it will turn on. This is a waste of time to me; first I have to hold down a button to turn it on, then another to make it start. Just let me set the cycle to what I want and push a button to start it all. Overall, it does a great job drying my clothes and is easy to use. I do wish it had a setting for air/tumble dry. There may be a way to do that by creating a custom setting, but I don't want to have to deal with that, which requires downloading their app and setting up what you want, I guess, and doing it remotely? I like to line dry my clothes in the warmer seasons but also put them in the dryer on tumble (no heat) for a bit so they're not stiff. I do NOT want to have to do that through an app. The preset options for drying are a bit confusing, as there is a Normal setting as well as a Regular setting. I haven't investigated the difference but that seems redundant. However, it's not a big deal and either one works fine for normal drying, which is the majority of my dryer loads. Overall, the dryer is efficient, fast, and easy to use. I wish they didn't try so hard to be cool by giving us the ability to control it remotely and use an app to do so. I mean, you have to physically put the clothes in the dryer, so why would you need to start it from your phone? Anyway, it's a nice large dryer that works well and is somewhat overpriced, but what else is new.

    The design is wonderful. It's quite, lightweight and do the job. I like the app. Its very handy. You can start the dry from the app and it lets you know if the clothes are dry. But the three connectors on the back is what gave me trouble. The first connector didn't stay screwed in. It was lose i had to put another screwed in it and it was fine! The chat online was trash I didn't get help until I got rude after speaking to 3 agents who didn’t help or even listen to my concerns. This have nothing to do with the dry itself. Im experience with best buy was unpleasant i ordered this as a set in April here it is the last day in May without any updates. I just want simple communication. But overall Maytag did a great job with this dryer im happy with it.

    Replaced our old dryer, which was 10+ years old. This works great, has sensors that adjust drying time based on moisture content, and is way more efficient than our old one. Its also huge, which is great for families that do lots of laundry.

    This dryer is just as great as the washer. It tells you how long the load dry time will be (dependent on the settings). It dries great. We haven't had a load that didn't dry properly. The wrinkle free option is nice as well. It holds a lot of clothes. It has an extra strength button that I love.

    Easy to use.Am not too crazy about the lid lock once the machine starts.This model has a see through top lid but after the washer starts ,it fogs up and can’t see through it.A big plus is the large capacity ..great for queen blankets and bedspreads.I will say that it certainly gets the clothes clean and can use dry or wet detergent.
