We chose this Maytag Pet Pro washer, due to our 3 year old pandemic era Whirlpool falling apart. I really wanted to replace the failing machine with another one as I believed we just got a lemon, and we had purchased the 5 year extended warranty so, I knew when the tech told me that Best Buy said they could not repair it, I could get an exchange. Well, they no longer make my model of Whirlpool, so, the Best Buy agent had me look at this Maytag. It was more expensive, but she price matched for me, and I thought, well, its not a "smart" machine, but has nice features, and I could receive it quickly, within 2 days, so I decided to try it. She told me I could exchange it also within 14 days if I did not like it. I purchased the extended 5 year warranty just in case, and stayed excited about getting a MAYTAG. (I love their commercials) So, I liked the looks and the quality of the machine. My first load, I used the towel setting. It chose the right tremperature settings and the wash began. I was very pleased to see how well the agitator worked, and realized, I was not getting a quality cloths cleaning from my old machine. I was very pleased with the Maytag so far. Then, I kept waiting to hear the "done" signal, but did not hear one, and I went in my laundry room, to discover the washing had completed, but there was no "signal" of it completing. The description clearly states it has a signal for when the washing was done. I was shattered. I thought how can I do this without knowing when my wash was done. I decided I would just return it. THEN, when my cloths came from the dryer, I was amazed. They felt brand new, and actually clean, like I must have forgotten what actual clean cloths felt like. So I did 2 of my dogs throw blankets to try the PET PRO filter. I chose the BULKY ITEMS setting and pressed start. I set my timer on my Google nest to 60 minutes and went about my day. My google timer went off and I went to my washer and it was spinning so fast, with no excessive vibration, like my old washer did. I was very happy, when it finished 3 min later, so fyi, BULKY ITEM setting runs 68 min. The filter had collected our dogs hair and it was so easy to clean out. After these blankets dryed, I took them out and they were like brand new. I looked at my Maytag and decided right then, that even without a signal for washing complete, I LOVE this machine. No it is not a smart machine connecting to WIFI, but it is a wonderful washer and does an amazing job. It has all the temperatures needed, it has all the different wash settings needed. I am keeping this washer. I will come back to give an update in 90 days, but as it stands right now, I am so glad I got this Maytag. I have never owned a Maytag, but have done laundry for 50 years and honestly, cannot remember being so impressed with a washer as I am with this one. Also, my dryer works so much better, as the washer really spins all the water out of the cloths so my drying time is much less. If you are looking to buy a washer, you wont regret buying this Maytag Pet Pro.

Overall this is a nice washing machine. Understand it uses less water, but would be nice to be able to add more water easily. The detergent dispenser could be upgraded. The pet filter is very easy to use.

We love this washer. So far about a dozen loads washed. It’s great finding a washer with an agitator. Easy to use and looks great. Also love the see through lid.

Best washer we have ever had! And I am very OLD! You know how the softener area always gets soiled with the excess softener? Or it doesn’t dispense at the right time or not at all! Not with this washer! Dispensers are squeaky clean. Buy this washer!

Works great at removing pet hair. Solid built machine
