  • Key Specs
    • Color Finish: Gray
    • Product Height: 43 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 1/2 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.)
    • Product Depth: 28 inches (The out of box depth of the item. Depth is measured as the distance from the front of the item to the back as it would be primarily used or placed.)
    • Capacity: 5.2 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.)
    • 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.)

Not using the recommended detergent can lead to additional rinse cycles and increased water usage.)
    • Vibration Reduction: true (Additional features, such as sensors that adjust spin speeds or weights that counter unbalanced loads, help to minimize vibration for smoother, quieter operation.)
    • Maximum Spin Speed: 850 revolutions per minute (This is the maximum spin speed of the tub in the final cycle. Higher revolutions per minute (RPM) will remove the water out of the clothes more quickly and effectively which can reduce drying time.)
    • Out-Of-Balance Detection: true
    • Automatic Temperature Control: true (This feature regulates hot and cold temperatures of the water or air within the appliance in order to keep them in the optimal range for each cycle.)
    • Delay Start: true (Allows you to program the appliance to automatically run at a later time. This feature helps you coordinate with your household’s water needs, noise preferences, and more. Additionally, operating your appliance during off-peak hours may reduce energy costs.)

Q: Consumer Reports says Top Loaders with an agitator do not clean clothes as good as Front Loaders or Top Loaders without an agitator. Is this true with this model?

A: Im not sure i completely agree Whereas I do agree the front load washer cleaned our clothes very well, the top load washer without the agitator left our clothes dingy looking. so we returned it and got the one with the agitator and our clothes were cleaner

Q: Will I be able to fit a comforter in this machine with the agitator? If so, does it wash bedding well?

A: Yes. i washed a king and queen comforter (separately) with no problem. deep fill provides enough water. i paused during wash a few times to move comforter around some and push all the way down in water. drum is deep and parts of comforter would float up some. so i pushed comforter around and up and down a little in drum to make sure all parts were getting submerged and then let it continue washing. a did the same during rinse. couldn't be happier with way it cleaned and spin extracted water very well.

Q: We bought it in January 2019. Less than two months old, washer does not rinse completly. Are there any settings or option we need to choose to make ure that washer does the rinse and dry it enough without dripping water?s

A: spotty, we're sorry to learn of your experience. We would like to discuss this further with you. Please email us at [email protected] at your earliest convenience with your review subject, name, address, a phone number and best time to reach you along with your model and serial number. Thank you Social Care Team

Q: Is this washer high-efficiency? How is it different from the model without the agitator, MVWB835DW? Thanks!

A: shlay17 model MVWB865GW is an HE washer and has 3 different cycles than the other model. It has a Color cycle, a drain and spin, and a rapid wash. Model MVWB835DW has a deep water wash and soak option that the other washer does not have. We hope this helps!

Q: How long does it take to just do a regular cycle without adding any extra functions?

A: A normal cycle is 52 minutes. You can do a speed cycle in 37 min

Q: Are you able to remove the agitator if you wish? For example if you wish to put a large bulky item in...

A: NO!!! My experience as listed in my review is that my medium weight King comforter fit and washed fine. Don't be fooled and buy the 6.0 cu ft impeller washer, the fine print says you cannot fill washer to physical capacity, which is crazy, but you will damage the washer if you do, ask a repairman.

Q: Does this model or any model Maytag have a child lock. Maytags are either listed as not having a child lock or as in the case of this washer- it just does not say.

A: Yes. This washer “senses” the load (unlocked) and before starting, it locks. When the door is opened during the sensing process...the control panel lights up & flashes...the load will not begin until the start button is pushed again.
