Our new Maytag dryer keeps clogging the dryer vent. I have to clear it
from the outside of the house every other week. Maytag service said
that the new dryers are so powerful that they actually suck the lint
around the filter and there is nothing that can be done about it. He
said this is common with many of the new, more powerful dryers.

Sounds like BS to me.

Lint accumulating in the duct is a fire hazard -- moreso for gas dryers. I
would make them fix it or refund your money.
