Maytag(R) Commercial Laundry Multi-Load Stack Dryers Cut Utility Bills Nearly 25 Percent, Without Increasing Dry Time

BENTON HARBOR, Mich. (May 20, 2009)  Maytag(R) Commercial Laundry is once again surpassing itself with its latest Energy Advantage(TM) Multi-Load Stack Dryers. These dryers are the most energy-efficient of their kind. In fact, they can save owners nearly 25 percent in energy and utility costs without increasing the average dry time.

The dryers’ fast-drying axial airflow system, increased insulation and double paned windows keep heat contained in the basket, enabling clothes to dry faster with the lowest BTU output of any commercial dryer on the market.

"These dryers outperform the competition, using only 28,900 BTUs per load – far less than the nearest competitor," said Craig Kirchner, global director of Maytag Commercial Laundry. "This can save owners and operators hundreds of dollars a year on utility bills."

Loaded with Built-To-Last(TM) features, the dryers have heavy-duty metal doors with tempered glass windows that cannot be pushed out; heavy-duty door hinges that are bolted through two layers of steel to protect the machine; and a magnetic door latch, providing a sealed drying process every time the door is closed. The dryers also come standard with Maytag ComputerTrac(R) microprocessor controls, allowing operators to pre-program temperature and cool-down time to prevent over-drying.

Maytag(R) Commercial Laundry Energy Advantage(TM) Multi-Load Stack Dryers feature a fresh, modern look, with rounded edges, and are available in both stainless steel and white finishes. They are backed by an industry-leading, five-year extra protection warranty on all parts.
