Basic model: Electric Wrinkle Prevent Dryer

The basic model of dryer by Maytag costs just $579 which is highly competitive price-wise. This price comes with the 10-year warranty that applies to all Maytag appliances for the drum and parts of your dryer. With a 7.0 cu. ft. capacity and 7 dryer cycle options, this model is pretty basic in terms of features, but you can expect the standard dry modes and 4 temperatures for different types of laundry loads.

Top-tier model: Commercial-Grade Residential Gas Dryer

The top model offered by Maytag is actually a commercial-grade dryer. This model costs $1,133 and includes 11 different dry cycles and the same 10-year warranty as the basic model. You can choose between 5 temperatures to help modify the cycle for each laundry load. Notably, neither the top-tier model nor the basic model has an Energy Star certification, and the upgrades are minimal for the high price increase. In general, Maytag's features come across as basic no matter what tier you're buying.

Shipping and in-home delivery included

Maytag provides complimentary shipping for all its dryers. This includes in-home delivery with floor protection at no extra cost. If you need your dryer carried to a second-floor location, the free in-home delivery service has you covered there too. While installation does not come included, you can add it for $30, and if you need your old appliances removed, this service is available for an extra $20.

15-day returns with zero fees

For all its major appliances, Maytag provides a 15-day return window without any fees. You can request a return at any time within 15 days of your delivery date. This return policy applies to products that are in new and unused condition, and this allows for testing by the delivery person without affecting a dryer's eligibility for return.

Customers love their Maytag dryers

At the time of our review, Maytag held an "A+" rating from the Better Business Bureau. Across various retailers, Maytag dryers showed an average rating of approximately 4.5 stars out of 5 from customers. Customers perceive Maytag dryers as being particularly quiet in comparison to other brands. Owners also universally love the long warranty periods, though there are very few reviews where people ever needed to use the warranty. Some customers loved the simplicity of the appliances: because there weren't too many techie features, that made Maytag dryers particularly user-friendly.

Solid and user-friendly dryers

Maytag offers cost-effective options and commendable return and warranty policies. While the features aren't the most exciting at Maytag, if you prefer a more simplistic dryer experience Maytag's products could offer a good value, backed by solid support from the company. With an appealing 10-year warranty on every dryer, Maytag earns a good rating despite its feature limitations.
