Maytag Bravos Steam MGD6600TQ (gas)

September 2008. The Maytag Bravos Steam MGD6600TQ clothes dryer is complimented for its value and innovative features, including a steam function that can relax wrinkles and otherwise refresh previously washed clothes. While not all experts are convinced that the steam function is a must-have, they say that if it's something you want, this washer delivers it at a relatively attractive price. Other features include an effective sensor that measures dampness in clothes rather than humidity in the drum. Because this is a gas dryer, it's less expensive to run in the long run, but it costs a bit more initially.

We found the best professional review at ConsumerGuide.com, an improving source for dryer reviews. While we still don't think tons of actual testing is being done, someone is certainly giving the dryers they report on more than a casual going-over, and the review is both balanced and critical.
