About - Maytag 5000 Series Steam MGDE500V[W]

The 5000 Series Steam MGDE500V[W] is part of the clothes dryer test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, gas dryer models like the 5000 Series Steam MGDE500V[W] 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.
