Admiral Dryer Reviews

The number of companies which handled the distribution and sale of the Admiral dryers and Admiral washers is quite varied. This American appliance brand used to be a consumer electronics company which later on became Admiral Corp. In the early 1970s, the company was acquired by Rockwell International, which was later on sold to Maytag - now acquired by Whirlpool.

Today, Whirlpool Corporation is the manufacturer of the Admiral washer dryer home appliances - and Admiral dryer machines in particular are sold at the Home Depot.

Despite its long-winded history of ownership, Admiral clothes dryer and washing machines have become a staple brand in most homes. Below are reviews of some top picks as we researched the market of laundry appliances from Admiral brand.

The Admiral 6.5 Cu. Ft. Super Capacity Electric Dryer Review

If you do have plenty of space at home to work on your laundry, you might as well get a separate washer and dryer home appliance rather than buying one of those washer-dryer combos. This is because purchasing of each type of appliances individually will allow you to load more clothes per time, so it's suited for households with big families.

First, let us take a look at the benefits of choosing Admiral Super Capacity electric dryer over the gas models:

  1. Admiral Electric dryer is cheaper than its gas-operated counterparts. However, gas dryers cost less to operate in long term.
  2. Electric models give you more venting options as compared to gas. If you have a model of an electric clothes dryer which offers four-way venting, for example, the dryer vent can extend from the front, back, right or left side of the dryer.

Now, let us take a look at the specific features this Admiral Dryer. As the name implies, this model has a 6.5 cu. ft. capacity - so even after adding a huge load of clothes to your washing machine, you can just as easily load and dry them right away without having to wait for another cleaning cycle in most cases.

Here are the additional features that you will get to enjoy from using the Admiral 6.5 cu. ft. Super Capacity Electric Dryer:

  • 5 cycles including Auto Dry with 3 dryness settings
  • 3 temperatures (High heat, Low Heat and No Heat)
  • Durable powder-coated top, lid and drum
  • Easy-to-clean console
  • Multiple cycles/options from Auto Sense to No-Heat Fluff
  • Super wide opening side-swing door

Out of all these, the best feature that this Admiral clothes dryer has to offer is that it has a huge room to load all your clothes in, even if they are quite vomentic *(eg. duvets, pillows an etc.). Rather than loading a small dryer with a few clothes multiple times, you can simply sort the clothes and dry them all in one go - saving you time and electricity.

As far as operation goes, Admiral dyers generally heat quickly four main settings - and it dries your clothes completely. Perhaps the only thing that you should note is that thicker fabrics like that of your towels' will take a bit longer to dry - but other than that, this Admiral suuper capacity electric dryer should give you the best value for your money.

The Admiral 6.5 Cu. Ft. Super Capacity Gas Dryer Review

This ia a very similar model to the one reviewed above. It has pretty much similar functionalities to that of the electric dryers - only this one is gas operated. The edge that gas dryers have over electrical is that they cost lesser to operate in the long run. However, keep in mind that gas dryers usually cannot be vented from the right side of the machine - which is something that you should consider during the installation process.

Take a look at the features of the Admiral Super Capacity Gas Dryer:

  • 5 cycles including Auto Dry with 3 dryness settings
  • 3 temperatures (High heat, Low Heat and No Heat)
  • Durable powder-coated top, lid and drum
  • Easy-to-clean console
  • Extra large, reversible swing door
  • Multiple cycles/options from Auto Sense to No-Heat Fluff

When looking for Admiral dryers, and Admiral washing machines, it is best to visit the site which exclusively carries the line of Admiral products, in this case HomeDepot.com.

However, you can still find Admiral washers and dryer machines in other sites which carry this specific line of products. No matter which type of Admiral dryer it is that you end up buying, the important thing is to choose one that will best suit your budget, personal preferences and household maintenance needs.
