About - Amana NED7200T[W]

The Amana NED7200T[W] is part of the clothes dryer test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, electric dryer models like the NED7200T[W] are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below.


Drying performance:
This score combines performance on three types of laundry loads of different sizes and fabric mixes: A 12-lb. load, predominantly cotton, representing a family's large weekly load; an 8-lb. load of cotton/polyester blend clothing; and a 3-lb. load of synthetic delicates, women's pajamas, nightgowns, bras and underwear.

Capacity:
Among the models we tested, drum volume varied from about 6 to 8.0 cu. ft.

Convenience:
For this measurement, we judged controls and ergonomics, such as ease of loading and unloading, servicing the lint filter, whether the door could clear a tall basket, and whether the machine has a raised edge to contain spills.

Comment:
Bought this and the companion washer. Just after the warranty ran out, the door lock on the washer broke. That cost $250 to fix. Then, less than 2 years after purchasing, the dryer heat element died. It will cost $431 to fix! We could almost buy a new one for that cost! If anything else goes wrong, we will dump both washer and dryer at a junkyard and buy a new set. I did love both until parts started breaking.

Comment:
When I first bought this product, it was wonderful. It dried everything so quickly. I loved the wrinkle release. It continues to turn your load even after it's done to keep it from getting wrinkled until your can get to it. But, right after my warranty was up, which made the dryer 18 months old, the heating element went out. I read on [...] several reviews of the same complaint. So I would recommend an extended warranty if you buy this product.

Well liked product. Only flaw is that delicate dry cycle sometimes leaves clothes slightly damp.
