Salesman told me they were a "mix" of Whirlpool an
The only thing "Maytag" on these is the name. They are through & through WP. On the dryer, open & shut the door of the Maytag. It sounds solid. I like that. Now, open & close the door of the same dryer w/ the Roper or Estate nameplate on it. Very tinny & cheap sounding. I also like the 29" over the 27" dryer.

29" WP fan here too!
I have not seen the new Centennial models of the Maytag branded machines but I like that WP moved the Ensemble front-loaders over to Maytag from the KitchenAid line and the top-loading washers & matching dryers are handsome. The die-cast knobs on the Centennial are exciting by themselves! I have both the 27" WP dryer (Duet) and the 29" version (KitchenAid) and really prefer the 29". They are both solid machines and dry clothes, but the 29" does have a larger diameter drum that allows clothes more room to billow and tumble rather than roll, there is much less balling-up of larger items and I don't find the heat pattern to be any less effective than pulling the warm air through the drum. The 29" airflow pattern will almost guarantee that there will never be an excessive build-up of lint inside the machine, nor will there ever be an item or lint clogging the vent unless something gets dropped in from the filter slot above. The filter isn't nearly as messy if you clean it when the machine is running - all the lint dust is sucked out the vent. The side-opening door on the Maytag machines is nice and has been available in the WP lines for a while now. It is nice to have that door out of the way, especially in tight laundry installations and it allows full access to the drum without having to crawl up on the door! | ||

I felt the same as you, Kelly, until I heard that simple idea a number of years ago. I was a bit dubious that it would make much difference, but it does cut down the mess on the dryer top. I don't know about inside information, but how about a bit of trivia? At one time, Whirlpool put two door switches on the 27" dryers. If you had the door open and were looking for a particular item, you could depress both switches at the same time - occupying both hands to keep them out of the drum - and the drum would do 1/2 turn to essentially flip the load over. How cool is that?? | ||
