MAYTAG WATER DRYER I am somewhat tempted but already have two MT water dryers so I won't be a pig. This was a rare example of MT building a product that was better than anyone else. These perform very well, they are fast and use only 1/3 gallon of water per minute of operation where as everyone else's water condensing dryers used 1/2 gallon per minute. This dryer does have a built in drain pump and will easily pump the waste water more than 6' high, in-fact you can let the nice warm waste water fill a top loading washer and this makes using this dryer very thrifty. | ||

 The Maytag combo uses a similar water-aeration system for drying and I have to say that it's just as good or better than any other condensing dryer of the time, possibly better given it's thriftier use of water. The combo drying is hobbled by the 340 RPM spinning but I have tried it after a decent final spin and the drying system works beautifully. | ||

Wow, that must have been an expensive dryer when new. I wonder what the price difference was between a no-vent and a comparable vented dryer? | ||

MT WATER CONDENSING DRYER Actually the drawing just makes it look complicated. The only extra parts are an inlet valve and the drain hose as compared to regular vented pre HOH dryers. It is still less complicated than the gas dryer and if I had to guess I think it was probably about the same cost as the gas vented version at the time. | ||

My thoughts of complication should have been clarified to read as a comparison to later Maytag dryers - i.e., HOH Maytag. The 2nd generation Maytag dryers - airflow or condensing - were constructed using many parts in comparison to later generation dryers, at least from my perspective. It makes sense why Maytag revised the dryers from a profitability perspective, considering they needed to make some money up from the original water film and second generation. :)
I almost didn't include my thought - looking back, I should have been more clear. :) Ben | ||
