A set like this doesn't pop up too often these days, let alone this clean, and a suds saver! RUN, don't WALK! Appear to be roughly 1972 - 1974ish.

Nor in the Western MA area.
I'm not even in the market for a washer/dryer, but if they were local, I'd be tempted!

first of all, its a matching 806 set.....and at THAT price, and in excellent shape.....it would be worth shipping....

check out Uship, Ucrate, or any one of those shipping companies....

Hi Martin

justjunque's profile picture
It seems like a great deal, and I don't even have any experience with, nor knowledge of Maytags in general.
Just for me personally, by the time shipping was factored in, I could no longer do it.
Not saying it wouldn't still be worth it.
I just couldn't swing it.
But if I was local to the seller? I'd already have them!

Just out of curiosity

Would this dryer have the "Halo of Heat", as featured in the POD?
And, is that a good design?

Yes this is a HOH dryer. The performance of the dryer has been debated for the lifetime of this form.

Will it dry clothes? Yes.
Is it a perfect dryer? Not necessarily, but not all dryers can be a bulkhead Whirlpool. :)

Our DG806 HOH dryer was the best one I've ever owned, and there isn't a dryer out there that's easier to use, as quiet, and (perhaps) as efficient. 

 

Personally, I think Maytag's gas HOH dryers perform better than their electric ones.

Wow all that washer needs is a new set of buttons and she'll be show room condition. I wish I could get that set. Looks to be a suds saver too.

No road trip for me Kenny. As much as I like the old Maytags, I am out of room. A bit too new for my taste as well.
