The last Maytag I bought was in 1997. This is different a bit. Don't know why it was changed. I got it less than two days ago and I am already pleased with my purchase. This washer is beautiful. It's also QUIET so I don't understand the noise complaints. The knobs are all turnable knobs and not computerized flashy fluff that will short out and quit working on a whim. This is exactly what I wanted! Also there is an agitator. Whoever heard of a washing machine without one, that actually cleans anything? Might as well beat your clothes on a rock if you want them clean. It's not as crazy fast as some that spit water at you like a over caffeinated monster. I didn't notice the spin or vibration cycle so it can't be much. I only noticed subdued quiet sounds. I had to check if it was still on it's so low key. I heard no loud noises at all. I know my clothes were damp and spinned out well. This takes some work off of the matching Maytag dryer I got at the same time. I am happy and believe I will love this new Maytag set as much as my 1997 duo.

The new washing machines are not made like they were 20 years ago, but I think this is the closest. I completely understand trying to save water but with our lifestyle and my husband working at a refinery which leaves his clothes smelling bad, I need a washing machine that can fill up with water when I need it to and this is the only new washing machine I’ve found where I can do that. We had a front load first that I returned immediately and bought this washing machine. I like when I have a smaller or less soiled laundry I can use auto sensing and it does a great job of cleaning. When I need more water I can put this on bulky items, deep fill and rinse with fabric softener and I can get the tub to fill almost all the way up. The only negative I’ve found so far is the agitation on a full deep fill doesn’t agitate as fast as I would like it to, it’s more of a swooshing action which is better for preserving clothes but not so great with getting stains out. But so far, overall I am happy.
