Maytag Bravos Steam MED6600TQ (electric)

September 2008. The Maytag Bravos Steam MED6600TQ clothes dryer delivers great performance and a host of cutting-edge features, including a steam function that removes wrinkles and odors from previously cleaned clothing (though some say you can achieve the same effect with a damp towel in a standard dryer). More significant, expert say, is an innovative and effective sensor that monitors moisture directly from the clothes, preventing damage to even delicate fabrics. Most important features are present, but a drying rack is a notable omission.

Among experts, we found a good review at ConsumerGuide.com. While we're not sure how much actual testing was done, the review is balanced and appropriately critical. User reviews aren't overly plentiful, but they do give some insight into how happy purchasers are once they've gotten the Maytag Bravos Steam Dryer into their homes.
