This morning blog post on Product Stat discusses the introduction of Maytag's famous Halo of Heat Dryer. Great press release images and information from 1957.
Thanks for posting this. It's interesting. How well were the Halo of Heat dryers received? Do they really not lint up inside as much as other dryers do?
I had the halo of heat portable dryer. So easy to repair. I was repairing it as a pre-teen. Just belt replacements. The blower belt was super easy. A shroud covered the belt. Remove that and replace the odd-looking belt.
