Competitive Advantages of the MLG33

The table below details some specific competitive advantages that the Maytag MLG33 30 lb stacked dryer has over the Dexter DDAD30KCW-65 30 lb. stacked dryer. Click on each advantage for more information.

Advantage:	MAYTAG	Competition
EFFICIENT DESIGN The MAYTAG dryer has been designed specifically to hold the heat within the unit for more efficient operation. A precision round basket and four roller supports allow for front and rear basket seals. In addition to an exhaust temperature sensor, an additional sensor in the rear of the basket helps to prevent scorching of clothing. These improvements help to dry clothes better! Close	Front & rear basket seals, Front & rear temp. sensors Sealed door design	No basket seals, Single temp. sensor, Inefficient door design
BTU RATING The MAYTAG dryer is rated at 55K BTU of heat per pocket and our competition is rated at 90K BTU per pocket. Because the MAYTAG dryer is so much more efficient, it can dry the same load in the same time as competitors, but with a lower BTU rating. Close	55,000 BTU per pocket	90,0000 BTU per pocket
AIRFLOW The MAYTAG dryer uses an Axial airflow system which pushes the air from the back of the drum to the front, ensuring that the air flows through the clothes. Other dryers use a Radial airflow system which allows the heat to exit through the drum and is a less efficient method of drying the clothes. An estimated 40% of the heat does not pass through the clothes with a Radial airflow system. Close	Axial Airflow Directs air through clothes	Radial Airflow Air can escape through drum
WARRANTY The MAYTAG equipment has a 5 Year Parts Warranty on all parts for coin laundry store owners. Competitors have shorter warranties, limited warranties, and are only for the original purchaser. Close	5 years all parts independent of owner	3 years all parts initial owner only
DOOR The MAYTAG dryer has a heavy duty, double insulated, magnetically sealed door so that the machine holds in the heat. More heat kept in the dryer increases the MAYTAG efficiency. It also helps to decrease air conditioning costs in the summer months! Close	Heavy duty, double insulated, magnetically insulated	Flimsy construction, single pane of glass easily knocked open
FLOOR SPACE The MAYTAG dryer needs only 7.46 square feet of floor space and our competitor’s dryer needs 10.47 square feetof floor space--that’s 40% more floor space used! Close	7.46 square feet	10.47 square feet
MAKEUP AIR The MAYTAG dryer requires only 0.76 square feet of makeup air per stack. Our competitor’s dryer requires 1.5 square feet per stack. That’s almost twice the size! Less makeup air holes in your building reduce heating costs in the winter months. Close	0.76 sq. ft. per stack	1.5 sq. ft. per stack
ELECTRICAL The MAYTAG stacks require 15 amp breakers to operate. Our competitor’s dryer requires a 30 amp breaker. A 30 amp breaker requires non-standard (and more expensive) wiring compared to 15 amp service. T he wiring alone costs 85% more for a 30 amp service. Close	15 Amp, 120V service	30 Amp, 120V service
VENTING The MAYTAG dryers can be vented individually for better operation and allow a back pressure of 0.6” water column. Our competitor’s dryer requires a common vent for the stack and only allows a back pressure of 0.3” water column. MAYTAG’s better venting system is twice as forgiving in the venting run lengths and sizing. Close	Each pocket separately, 0.6" WC static pressure	Common venting, 0.3" WC static pressure
