Wow - I am shocked that your dryer still works after being dropped twice! Obviously those Neptunes are built well! I have a Kenmore Elite He5t Steam Washer and Steam Dryer. They are so fabulous and I just adore them. I love the steam component for stain removal in my washer and the steam in the dryer for refreshing or touchups (gets wrinkles out VERY well). I've never had any trouble with mold or mildew in my washer, as that is a common problem in FL's. Honestly, I have very few complaints. I'd definitely buy it again. However, I would also buy the warranty on the washer. My husband is an electrical engineer and commented when we bought the washer that it had a huge electronic board...meaning lots of opportunity for electronic error. But this is the case with most FL's now, not just the Kenmore. Sure enough, we had to replace a sensor that would've cost us over $450 with parts and labor. We were so grateful for that warranty (and we NEVER buy warranties!). Now Sears customer service and repair? Not so pleased with them... But my Kenmore washer and dryer themselves are fabulous and I've been very pleased. Let me know if you have any specific questions! Thanks for stopping by! -Lauren Hi Wende!

I purchased the Maytag Neptune five years ago and I want to get an additional set...one for downstairs and one for upstairs. The Maytags are made really well. We are a military family and the dryer has been dropped twice off the back of the moving truck...it still works! Any assistance would be great! Thanks! May I ask what brand you have?
