    Maytag Washer Review

    This top loader Maytag washer with the agitator does a good job. It’s 5.2 Cu Ft, slightly smaller than the 5.3 Cu Ft washer without an agitator that we really wanted, but that was out of stock without any realistic assessment of when it would be back in stock. This one got much better reviews anyways, so here we are. We really have been completely satisfied with it. The capacity is huge and it cleans well. I love how it squeezes the water out of the towels during the high speed spin cycle. They are so much dryer than our older Maytag washer, that does not have the high speed spin cycle.

    Great washer just don’t last

    This is a great machine. Super quiet, clothes come out clean. Looks nice. Has all the settings. I’ll never use half of them. The only bad thing is this is my 2nd one. 1st one quit just after 2 years old. So if you buy it you better get the extended warranty. Because according to the repairman that came to my house. Which I sent away after hearing it would cost more to fix it than replace it. Anyway he said none of the new style washers last like they used to. Those days are over. I did try to buy another brand that people were bragging about, but it got delivered and didn’t work right out of the box. So I will recommend this washer only because there’s no great options out there.

    I hate it so much!!

    I should have listened to the negative reviews. It starts agitating your clothes before there is any visible water in it.... it starts to get things wet, but then the agitator starts vigorously spinning back and forth with half wet clothes on the bottom and dry clothes on top... no visible standing water to actually wash it in... and this is after setting the "deep fill" button to max... so the half wet stuff starts sticking to the sides. By the time it actually had visible water for the clothes to wash in, it was already half way through the wash cycle. This is very rough on fabric and it mixes in the detergent onto half dry clothes. The photo I included is a few minutes into the "washing" cycle. Also, once you start a cycle, you can't change settings without cancelling, draining and starting all over again.

    Beautiful washer

    I am so happy with this washer machine, just be aware of how you install the drain hose, don’t insert it too deep into the drain pipe otherwise you might run into a problem as I did, the technician that visit me told me to use the elbow that comes with the washer machine and tie it to the water hose, it works great and the tube is huge, you need to use higher water level than the auto option gives you to get your clothes really clean and without detergent residuals
