Amana NDE8805AY(electric)/NDG8805AW(gas) dryer

Date Published: 6/24/08

In direct contrast to all the expensive new laundry products on the market, Amana continues to offer simple, basic, and reliable products such this value-priced dryer. Available in electric (NDE8805AY) or gas (NDG8805AW), this rust-resistant model is likely to offer many years of service thanks to its simple design and no-fuss sensibility. Ready to meet the needs of a good-size family, this large dryer offers 7.1 cubic feet of capacity.

Four temperature settings and an auto dry control make it easy to select the proper cycle for any fabric you're drying. Internal temperature is monitored and works to prevent overdrying of garments. A dryness selection knob allows you to select the preferred level of dryness for each load. At cycle's end, the drum rotates intermittently to prevent wrinkling.

A fabric refresh cycle is offered and comes in handy for cutting down on ironing and removing existing wrinkles from garments. Timed settings of up to 60 minutes can be used in place of pre-set, automatic cycles. The large door opens wide for loading and can be hinged on either the right or left side. Additional convenience features include an interior light and an optional end-of-cycle signal.

Equipped with a 1/3-horsepower motor, the Amana NDE8805AY dryer is an economical and reliable choice that relies on proven technology.


Pros: Simple design  at an affordable price, reliable machine
Cons: Does not have any "bellls and whistles" of more expensive models
