This is Modern Washer History, lots of you younger guys and gals are going to wish you had these some day, the asking price is not bad considering that these cost between $2400.00 and $2800.00 dollars less than ten years ago and it sounds like the seller wants get rid of them, so they could be an even better deal.

The worst thing about these was they were quite slow as regular dryers because of the low wattage heating element, hold out for a gas one, but even these only had an 18,000 BTU burner, so they were no faster that an old MT HOH dryer.

Hi Alex I did not suggest that these MT DC dryers ran at lower temperatures but rather they are slow dryers do to the much lower wattage heater element, but they eventually do get just as hot as any other dryer.

Alex you should diffidently to get one if you get the chance, I got my hands on a new gas model for my laundry room here at home. I was just suggesting that the lower dryer part is not the fastest or most reliable dryer for someones only dryer if they are doing 10 or more heavy loads a week. Unfortunately MT designed and built this dryer using the cheap 27" Norge dryer as the starting point for this otherwise great idea. Maytag had pretty much stopped trying to build and sell the best quality appliances by the time these machines appeared.

Maytag should have instead have been more aggressive in fixing the problems of the Neptune FL washers that were starting to sink their reputation for reliability. The Neptune FL washer was a well though out and and built appliance designed by MT  and like every MT appliance since their first automatic washer there were problems at first and in the past MT always kept improving and redesigning until they got it right. But in this day in age consumers are not so patent, today we expect to buy a new appliance and have it work for a long time without having to call for service. And if we do have have early problems we expect the manufacturer to fix items at little or no cost.

On the Neptune FL washers MT should have immediately have offered free parts for the entire washer for at least 10 years and maybe a low cost service fee to cover labor to perform the needed repairs. MT did make a lot of improvements in the MTNTs but they offered little help to most consumers on such a highly promoted product.

One thing I like is the ability for the drying cabinet to use dryer sheets to freshen/scent the clothes without having to touch them.

Do any other modern dryers do this?  I seem to recall this feature being available back in the day of vintage laundry appliances. 

I also found that beside Whirlpool having a drying cabinet, Staber and Asko have one as well. Alhough they look very similar, so maybe they re sharing the design.
