    • Product Height: 43 3/8 inches (The out of box height of the item. Height is measured as the vertical distance from the bottom of the item to the top as it would be primarily used or placed.)
    • Product Width: 27 1/8 inches (The out of box width of the item. Width is measured as the horizontal distance from one side of the item to the other as it would be primarily used or placed.)

    • Height With Door Open: 55 3/8 inches (Measurement from the bottom of the product to its top, with lid fully open.)
    • Capacity: 4.2 cubic feet
    • High-Efficiency: true (Washers with this label feature technology meant to use less water. High Efficiency (HE) washers may also be larger in capacity. Using High Efficiency (HE) detergent in these washers is highly recommended as they are designed to be quick-dispersing and operate in low water conditions by producing less suds, requiring less detergent. Not using the recommended detergent can lead to additional rinse cycles and increased water usage.)
    • Steam Function: false (In washers, this feature may be employed before, during, or after the main wash cycle. Steam aids in stain removal, activating detergent, sanitizing, and softening wrinkles. In dryers, this feature can be used to remove wrinkles or quickly freshen clothing items.)
    • Washing Mechanism: Agitator (There are two washing mechanisms to choose from in today's washing machines: agitators or impellers. An agitator is a column located in the center of the washing tub. It may be finned or vaned, and works to clean clothes by rotating and rubbing against clothes to break down stains. An impeller is a low-profile cone at the bottom of the tub that uses fins, cones, or discs to create motion. This motion pushes clothes to rub against each other, versus against an agitator, to break down dirt.)
    • Agitator Type: Dual-action (A single-action agitator typically rotates one way to circulate clothes throughout the washer. A dual-action agitator has two parts that rotate differently; the top rotates to push clothes down toward the bottom of the tub while the bottom continues to move clothes in a circular motion. Triple-action agitators work similarly, but add a third up-and-down motion to the dual rotation.)

Q: Do washer and dryer sets include hoses and cords needed for operation?

A: Hello! For the model MTW4205SW washer, the power cord is included. The washer will come with the drain hose. You would need to purchase the inlet hoses. The power cord is not included with the model MED4500MW dryer, but is included with MGD4500MW. Venting would need to be purchased separately. Thank you for your inquiry about our Maytag® appliances.

Q: Is there any way to temporarily pause the Lid Lock function to visually check the water level after fill or a minute or two into wash function to check the amount of suds to see if I need to add more detergent?

    BIG for a little machine

    Needing one of the smaller machine's I foud this perfect sized Maytag. The brand I always prefer. the last oe lasting 26 years! Easy to find the correct size at Best Buy. It is amazigly large inside and has a lovely dial panel that lights up as it goes through the cycles. It was however noiser than I expected. Still did an effecient job. Happy with it.

    Works well but very loud

    Purchased this after an almost 10 year Maytag washer had to be replaced. The 10 year warranty does not apply to labor costs & doesn’t include all parts. The washer has an agitator and works very well. The quick wash cycle is what I use the most. The sheets still get twisted on bulky wash but I think that is with most washers. My only complaint is that it is VERY load. Loud clicks and loud while filling up. Average to loud while spinning. If noise is not important then this washer is a good choice. The price was fair in today’s market. Our previous Maytag was much quieter but was a more expensive model. This review does not support videos
