Real Maytag vs Whirlpool Dryer

I have Real Maytag Neptune Dryer. I had originally bought Calypso with matching Whirlpool dryer. I loved the Calypso, but hated the dryer; my clothes came out seeming like they had been baked. If I selected lower temp, it took forever.

I figured part of the problem was my fairly long vertical dryer chimney (which had just been cleaned a few months earlier, but still might have been clogged a bit from previous very lousy dryer). I reported my experiences over at GardenWeb and someone suggested I try Maytag dryer instead...it was said to have the most powerful blower.

So I traded the WP dryer for Maytag Neptune dryer, which I have loved ever since. I dry small clothes on Low and heavy towels on Medium, I never use the hottest setting, and yet it works fairly quickly. 9 years later it was still working fine, though getting a bit slower, so I had dryer vent cleaned out again (I know I'm supposed to do that more often).

Works even better with my Duet washer.
 
Nice reconditioning job! That sure was a mess and you got her going again with some good old maintenance. Those pads may have been replaced already, hence the paint missing on the front, but I wouldnt sweat that, especially if she is quiet and running well.

Too bad about the roller, sometimes it is hard to find good service.
