About - Amana NGD4800V[Q]
The NGD4800V[Q] is part of the clothes dryer test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, gas dryer models like the NGD4800V[Q] are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below. Drying performance: This score combines performance on four 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 all-cotton items; 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 5 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.

My family washes 4 loads per week. The washer has performed well during the first 6 months. We do not have any complaint and are very satisfied with the washer. At first, installation, [...] did not tighten the bolts holding the washer to the bottom drawer. We had to place a service call to debug the problem. The authorized service comapany that repaired the problem was excellent debugging the issue. We are very satisfied with the washer and the price we paid from [...] was excellent value.
