The owner said it made squeaking noises. I hope it's not what I think it is. |

Are these dryers better than a BOL Roper? |

Nock on wood (or any Norge), the only problem I had was about 8 or 9 months after I bought it, the buzzer went crazy at the end of a load. After that it quit working. Timer was replaced under warranty. I think it's a very accurate dryer, but remember, I'm also a picky sorter for wash loads. My next oldest sister has that exact dryer since new and no problems, but she doesn't do as much laundry as I do either lol.

A very decent dryer overall, noise problems are usually the belt idler pulley, the rear rollers, the motor itself and if it is the front bearing strips you may need a new front drum cover and drum because by the time it is squalling it is into the metal. Overall still not as durable as a WP 29" or 27" dryer but at least MT fixed the problematic blower wheel that always stripped off the motor shaft with the interduction of the these 27" models. These were the last true MT dryers.

Not so sure I like the paint missing in those places. |

Glide pads don't look too bad. I might replace them in a week or two. |

Works very well, even better than what it replaced. Very quiet, nothing rattles like the BOL Roper. |
