Maytag MDE2400A

Pros: compact, stackable

Cons: Manufacturer's Defect, longer drying, Cost, Poor Quality Parts

The Bottom Line: Avoid it until Bearing switched with Ball Bearing. Otherwise, once Defect fixed, Average Rating.

Review: I would like to let others know about this dryer and a MAJOR manufacturer's defect in this product. We were moving into our new condominium and we had created a laundry closet to fit this unit into. We did not want to have this unit in the Kitchen...

Pros: Aesthetics

Cons: Long drying time, fire hazard due to over-heating on cheap bearings. Very light duty.

The Bottom Line: Due to the possibility of a fire from over heating, and the horrible squeaking sound I would say avoid this and spend the extra $$ for a quality unit.

Review: We have had our dryer (and washer stack unit) for just over a year now. We need it in the small condo we are in. Now that it is out of the warranty period, I am getting the same HORRID screeching sound from the failure of the bushing that many...

Pros: compact size

Cons: major bearing problem

Review: I have just had to repair this dryer. The parts alone cost more than $300 and the labor was nearly $200. There appears to be a manufacturer's defect with the main bearing causing metal on metal squealing and the whole bearing and drum to be...

Pros: A dryer that doesn't dry doesn't have any pros.

Cons: Dryer doesn't dry. It simply does not do it's job.

Review: I paid good money for this dryer, only to find out that it doesn't dry at all. It takes at least 2 cycles for the stuff to dry. Maytag won't do anything about it. The thing is not even a year old. DO NOT BUY THIS DRYER. And given Maytag's inability...

Pros: Compact size and stackable with companion washer.

Cons: Slow drying times. Small drum does not allow good tumbling.

Review: I've owned this dryer and it's companion washer for about nine months and I have to say that it is convenient to use, has performed pretty well and has not needed service.

Of course, it's "GENTLE BREEZE" drying system makes for long drying...

Pros: It matches the washer, is very quiet, auto dry usually works well.

Cons: Sometimes auto-dry is confused by small loads, but a restart and it's OK.

Review: Yes, it does take a long time to dry, but it the clothes are always dry when it is done. The only time I had to reload is for a blanket or something large that needs to be opened up and put back in to fully dry. I'm sure many dryers have this...

Pros: compact,nice styling

Cons: takes too long, clothes get wrinkled

Review: I bought this dryer to stack on top of the Maytag compact washer which fits into small spaces. My frustration with this unit began with the first load. It seems to take way too long to dry and the clothes come out a big wrinkled mess! I tried...

Pros: small formfactor

Cons: see review

Review: I purchased a Maytag Dryer from Sears 4 years ago. After one year, the heating coil failed. Sears repaired the unit. The second year, the same part failed yet again. Sears replaced the part, but would not pay for the technician. In year three, the...

Pros: Small

Cons: Bad parts.

Review: To all who wrote about problems with the plastic square on the back that holds the drum axle up (aka the Bushing Shaft Part#35001012). This is clearly a faulty part, which will keep failing. I asked my serviceman to speak to Maytag about it...

Pros: A good regular dryer.

Cons: Energy efficient drying takes time!

Review: I have used this dryer for a while now, and have had no complains with the unit what-so-ever. I bought this product because it fit within the space restrictions of my condo. I love that this product has an auto dry feature - it always seems to be...
