I have no idea who made that dryer in the above picture... Maybe it needs a bigger emblem?

 

[tecnopolis]

It's his new Grille. We do everything big here in Ocala, Florida.
The font is really no bigger than this old Kenmore dryer.

I think BIG is in. Have you not noticed how big the Mercedes emblem has gotten these days? It's very prominently featured on the new GLK.

In case you guys haven't noticed.....SIZE MATTERS

Not to hijck the thread, but...

How do Maytag Neptune type dryers compare to the old 80's Series type Kenmores? I want a Neptune dryer, to match my MAH5500AWW washer, but wonder how it will compare to my Kenmore with "soft heat" (heat gradually reduces throughout the cycle, dryer the clothes get, lower the heat gets.).

What do you guys think?

I like the models with the intelidry moisture monitor display. You can tell from how much blinking the display is doing to see how "wet" the clothes are. Less moisture, less blinking. I think it's more informative than the estimated time method of the LED and LCD versions of the dryer. It's a feature available across the Maytag Dryer line and not limited to the Neptune version of the dryer.

...If I had kids, I would surely would have a laundry room equipped with a duo of Maytag Neptune Superstacks!

Even the new Chevy Spark sports a ginormous Chevy bow tie emblem.

Here's a close up of that vintage Kenmore dryer with the large script control panel.

Saw it and had to have it!

..Hmmmm. I saw this from the road on the side of someones house, and said, wow what a weird refrigerator. I live in the country, so there was a lot of overgrowth hindering my view, so I turned around to get a better look. Good thing I did because that fridge turned out to be a Neptune SuperStack in electric! The homeowner was mowing his lawn and must have been wondering why I circled back. I stopped and asked him if he was selling the Neptune, he said you can have it! It just needs a motherboard and new bearings. I told him I would be back tomorrow when I could get a truck.
Today, my nephew and I picked it up and dropped it in my driveway. Owner was very nice. There is also hurricane Issac bearing down on us and I thought if I was going to rescue it, the sooner the better. (cell phone picture)

I had to organize the garage and put all the machines on one side.

 

[tecnopolis]

.. actually, there are 4 more that I still had to add after this photo was taken.

 

[tecnopolis]

I ordered these dryer vent covers for both of my dryers that I'm NOT using. I placed them over the exhaust tube to keep out the little field mice that frequent the area.

 

[tecnopolis]

They just snap on the back and can be popped off whenever I'm ready to hook-up one of the dryers.
