I think Halo-of-Heat was really just a marketing gimmick, since Maytag replaced this design in late 1976 with the Big-Load Stream of Heat Dryer
For what it's worth-
I have always owned Maytag dryers, and have been most pleased with them. I have used GE and Whirlpool dryers--friends or coin-op settings, and they've been ok...I think it comes down to using the right temperature for the fabrics, and not overdrying.

The 1973 Gas Halo-of-Heat dryer that I owned was very pokey.

my gas Maytag from around 1975 was also slow,HOWEVER,it was very reliable, quiet,and the clothes came out MUCH LESS wrinkled than they do with the 1996 GE "fryer".

I remember using a Maytag pair back in the 1970s, at one of my grandmother's friends house. He had a pool that we somtimes used, and we always washed up the towels after. It did take a *long* time to dry those heavy towels.
Nice picture of Jesse White,by far the "best" Maytag man!

Re: Ol'-Lonely:
I've got to agree, that Jessie White was the best of the Maytag Ol'-Lonely Repairmen. I've got a Non-Autographed Photo of Gordon Jump {Ol'-Lonely #2} and Mark Devine {His Ol'-Lonely CO-Partener} from when the newer Maytag Store opened a few years ago here. I got my invitation a week after the opening and their being here for the opening, so I missed getting their Autographs.
I've got older Literature with Jessie Whites Photos in them, similar to these as well. He and Kathleen Freeman used to Perform here at what we call the "Music Circus" or also known as the "Theatre in the Round" because the Theatre was a Circus Tent and it was Round. For the longest time, they only had Folding Canvas Chairs and "Swamp-Coolers" but a few years ago, they built a permanent Building, complete with Central Heat/Air and certainly more comfortable Seats, but there aren't any Pilars or Posts in the way of any of the Seats, they are all great Seats.
Peace and Ol'-Lonely Maytag Days, Steve

slow drying
My next door neighbor obtained a Maytag set from a friend of mine and his maid complained about long drying times, too. I initiallyinstalled the set for them, and there and all passages in the dryer were clear (gas dryer). The dryer ended up getting replaced by a WP dryer, and the washer ultimately got replaced by a F & P TL machine, though the washer worked fine.

The gas version of the "halo of heat" had the burner parallel to the front of the machine, therby heating the front of the metal drum where the inlet holes are (warm air enters).
Most other gas dryers I have seen have the flame running parallel to the side of the machine therby heating the entire front-to back of the metal drum.
I am inclined to think that a pre-heated piece of metal near the air inlet heats the air quicker, while at the same time not excessively heating the general surface area of the drum.
Probably makes for a smart location for a pilot light as well. Older RCA Whirlpools had a chatter-box spark igntion system. I can only guess Maytag stayed with a pilot light for reliability and simplicity (Waste of gas in the '60s who cares? LOL)
