Back To Basics... Laundry Just Got Simplier.
By The Lunar Staff
There is nothing like the feeling of when a semi-truck pulls up in front of your house to deliver cool stuff like this. The neighbors watching with curiousity and envy and just being plain nosey. Whatta rush!

We received the dryer within three weeks via JB Hunt. Since we are out here in the middle of nowhere land in Hee Haw America, it is expected.

Gary, the driver was nothing but awesome. He even let my boy climb up in the truck and blow the horn a few times. He absolutely loved that and I'm sure the neighbors did too! He laid on that horn pretty good.

This dryer is perfect for our needs. We don't require alot of bells and whistles on our apliances. Just good old fashioned simplistic and fully functional items for us please. We had the Kenmore Elite HE3 units... what overpriced, overly complexed garbage they were. Lesson learned.

When I say this is a simple dryer, I meant it. It has just 3 temperature settings and 11 different cycles...

1. Air - No Heat
2. Low Heat
3. High Heat

It was completely unexpected, but it came with a dryer vent kit and a gas line kit. That was extra nice.

I did notice that the pricing on this unit fluxuates quite a bit, like the stock market. Since we ordered this unit, the price had dropped and risen again. Just an observation, nothing else.

You can get the mates to this dryer unit Amana 3.4 cu. ft. Top-Load Washer with Sprekle Porcelain wash basket, NTW4600YQ, White or the Amana 3.4 cu. ft. Top-Load Washer with Dual Action Agitator, Amana 3.4 cu. ft. Top-Load Washer with Dual Action Agitator, NTW4700YQ, White which is currently cheaper and contains more options.

This is a very good floor model/side-by-side dryer and definitely worth considering if you just want simplicity in your life, like us.

Overall, I'm just excited about this dryer.

No over-the-top frills, but gets the job done and does it well
By Angela Streiff
If you're looking for a good quality, basic gas dryer for doing your laundry, this Amana is a great choice. This is for those who prefer their a dryers with no digital timers that could break and no internal computer that could go haywire. For those looking for simplicity and those wanting to keep laundry from becoming over complicated.

Design:
The color is sold white. Not bisque, not white with little sparkle flecks in it, not white with chrome buttons and nobs, just white. So of you're trying to match your new dryer with a washer you already have, and it's all white as well, you'll have a perfect match. There is a single settings nob on the front panel in which you adjust all your dryer settings. Your options are...

~Automatic Dry: High Heat~
More Dry
Energy Preferred
Less Dry
Cool Down
Wrinkle Prevent

~Automatic Dry: Low Heat~
More Dry
Energy Preferred
Less Dry
Cool Down
Wrinkle Pre vent

~Timed Dry: High Heat~
60 (minutes)
40 (minutes)
20 (minutes)
Cool Down

~Air Dry: No Heat~
20 (minutes)
10 (minutes)

Other than the drying settings nob, there is just one single other button, the "Start" button. Ultra basic and simple enough for anyone to use. The lint trap is located on the top of the dryer, which I have come to appreciate. The dryer I had prior to this one (Whirlpool) had the dryer vent on the inside by the door. I was often losing lint back into the dryer when pulling it out to clean it. By having the lint trap on the top, no rogue lint tufts find their way back inside after being filtered.

The dryer door opens from left to right (not outward, top to bottom). You can switch the doors hinges to the other side if you would prefer it to open from right to left. The handle for the dryer is like most others, designed to be inside the door itself, not a separate piece attached to the outside. So there's no worry of hitting ones legs on a handle, as everything lays flush against the door.

Performance and conclusion:
This unite drys everything as perfectly, as expected. Small loads and large loads, it handles them all. I can fit large blankets in it with no problems. It tumbles everything well, without any issues of tangling things up into a knot and causing areas of dampness. No damage to any clothing or melting of anything like buttons or zippers. At the same time I find that clothing is getting dry much faster than with my old unit. I notice this with large loads especially. Also, it's definitely quieter than the 10 year old dryer that this one replaced. So if you're looking for a basic white gas (not electric) dryer, this Amana would be a great choice. If you are looking for something like this, but you have electric hook-ups instead of gas ones, you can find this same dryer but with electric hook-ups here : Amana 6.5 cu. ft. Tradition al Electric Dryer with Automatic Dryness Control, NED4600YQ, White

Economy Dryer ...
By Steffan Piper
Delivery and Set Up:

One of the first questions you might ask yourselves about buying such a large appliance from Amazon, is how will they get that thing to my house?

My Dryer was delivered and set up by a company called J.B. Hunt. I'd seen their trucks on the road, but I had never had any previous business with them before this. They emailed me a few days before delivery and then called me promptly when they were in the area wanting to know about gate codes or stairs. They were careful, polite and walked me through the set-up and helped with taking away my old dryer. These guys are 5 Star when it comes to the business of large appliance delivery. Highly recommended.

The Dryer:

For the price, which is pretty much at the lowest level for any gas dryer on the market currently, you're getting pretty much what you pay for here. The drum size is a bit smaller than the industry average of 7.0 cubic ft of dryer space at 6.5 cubic foot. This isn't something to be grossly concerned about, but if you're used to even bigger dryer drums, this might strike you as "a bit smaller." And it is.

The dryer presets or cycles, which apparently their are 11, are incredibly basic and very straight forward. There's the standard 'cool down' cycle which kicks in towards the end of the 60 minute-max cycle, Off/On, energy saving cycles and so on. It's very basic. No buzzer though to let you know it's done, nor is their an option for it to be toggled off/on like a lot of other dryers in the same price bracket.

Price:

Again, this is pretty much at the bottom of the rung as far as price, but for a mere fifty dollars more, on average, you can get a larger drum, more settings, a buzzer and perhaps something a tad more attractive. With the compromises the manufacturer has made, this dryer should be about seventy-five to one hundred dollars cheaper in all actuality.

The Look:

Th is dryer takes up no less space than my larger dryer did, but again has a smaller spinning drum. It's about as basic and dull as any economy dryer could be, so don't hope for style.

Overall:

This dryer is for the kind of people that buy Ford Taurus's twenty at a time. This isn't a commercial looking dryer, but I might end up seeing a large row of these in the laundry room of any apartment building or College Dorm setting. It's a bit overpriced for what you're getting because it's too close to the other dryers that offer much more for almost the same money.

Three stars -- It is what it is.
