Maytag - 5.2 Cu. Ft. 11-Cycle Top-Loading Washer - Metallic Slate

I am THAT customer because we purchased the white set and after it was delivered the silver color looked better for our preference. The white set was delivered by amazing employees and verified no issues or damages. The second set arrived silver color, the delivery team was not like the others. The washer had a dent in the front and worked fine. But paying for a new product I called the sales rep he swapped it out ASAP. The 3rd set arrived was delivered by a perfect team again, no issues or dents. We read the instructions and went through all the settings, we leave out the tray that holds liquid soap etc. We use the soap filled pods and place them at the bottom before loading the clothes. The water fills from that soap tray area, I could see issues from other reviews adding too much liquid soap. This machine is very quiet. Our older front load set you would hear it in any room of the house, now we can run it at anytime even after putting kids to bed. This is a lot bigger and holds what we had 3 loads all in 1 load now. Works perfectly, after reading the instructions we know what to set for colors and huge blankets to towels. We do like the deep fill sensor turn on/off button, for the larger loads etc this works great. After reading other negative reviews I am that customer, I sat with a flashlight watching the wash start. It starts off turning slowly and adding water as it spins slowly. The sensors click on and off for the weight of the load and water levels as it is spinning slowly. It will keep spinning and then stop. Water keeps filling and cuts off then it starts the washing cycle. I thought it was like the other reviews and not washing correctly. But it was still sensing the clothes and balance of the load. After a few minutes when it auto balanced the load and water was at the sensed capacity then the washing actually started and the agitator functioned as it should. We thought it was defective or not made like the old agitator sets. Some could think its not washing properly when it is self balancing the load. Yes I am that customer that would have exchanged it immediately but I love this set. Not one issue with the washer or brand, we made sure we did our homework before using this and we researched this unit on all the features on what it actually does. Make sure you have good water lines. We used our older water line and who knew they were smaller in diameter inside. We bought new water hoses that were I believe 5/8 inside opening and the water capacity with the water pressure was the only noise we heard while operating. This 3rd set is great delivery drivers can ruin anything by denting or drop items who knows. Bu that is not the manufacturer or items defects. The 1st set in white was just like the this one perfect and worked the same. I would highly recommend this to anyone. My mother is 5' tall and it is a taller huge tub. It is very easy to spin the tub by hand to bring all the clothes closer to you for access.

After much research i settled on this machine and so glad I did! What a difference from my 10 yr old HE washer to this one! had a chance to use most cycles and I like using deep fill on just about everything I wash! deep fill option is available on all cycles except normal cycle for some reason. maybe they purposely didn't put deep fill on normal since its probably most used cycle to conserve water/energy, i don't know. anyway, for my normal i use the colors cycle and then modify temp, soil level (wash time), spin, deep fill. i like that it remembers settings from previous wash and displays remaining cycle time. lid locks when you press start and unlocks when you press pause. great if you have small children or have to add something to wash load. when doing a small load i let machine auto-sense water level. it chose low level which seemed ok for the few items but that low water level left a little oxi residue on clothes so i had to rewash. i washed another small load using deep fill and i got much more water. enough to completely cover clothes this time and no oxi residue left on clothes. i use detergent as directed or less per load and my clothes come out clean! With my old machine I was adding more detergent and running extra rinse cycle. this washer has very big and deep drum so clothes can swish around freely. plenty of room for large loads and bedding. clothes loaded loosely allows them to move around freely and in this large drum it cleans well.i was able to wash all our large towels and wash cloths in one load that would normally take me two loads! it also handled my queen and king comforters no problem. yay! no more trips to laundromat! quiet washer compared to my old noisy vibrating washer. I only really hear it when its draining. otherwise pretty quiet even on spin. control panel is straightforward and simple to use. some ppl complain not enough water, but I don't have that issue. for an HE washer i get more than enough water using deep fill option for any size load. agitator is definitely better than the impeller i had in my old HE washer. only negative i found is the bleach dispenser is right up front and does not flush with water so its easy for clothes to tough that dispenser when loading if not wiped out. also there is no pre-soak or soaking option which is odd, but there is a soak using powerwash or deep wash option. One workaround I found is you can press pause during wash to soak for any length of time and hit start when ready again, but DO NOT OPEN LID while paused bc machine will drain after 10 min. I paused it for about 15 min with lid closed and it did not drain and then restarted with no problem to complete cycle. my pics show the difference in amount of water levels using auto-sense and using deep fill. the deep fill load completely covered with water and washer still adding more water! Overall really great HE washer that gets my clothes clean!

It's weird, it looks like it's not doing much on the surface but it cleans my clothes so much better than my old front load. It's easy to overlook that the impeller is doing all the work. It does not rely on just swishing the clothes around in water. So far I am very pleased with this machine. Just follow the instructions on how to load your clothes and the machine will do the rest.

Very nice works amazing got I got it for a great price

My old washer was a Maytag. So I decided to go with another one. So far so good. Just need to get use to the new features.

Overall the washer is nice, however, when washing dark clothing on a cold cycle the clothes end up with a residue that requires additional rinse cycles to remove. Tried all the "help" ideas we found online as well as called service for guidance and tips. Nothing helped. After almost a month of giving this machine the benefit of doubt, we returned it for another brand.

Had a Maytag for 16 yrs that finally gave up the ghost. Needing a large capacity machine, I picked this one because it has an agitator. In my line of work, clothing gets dirty. My first wash, water level stayed WELL BELOW the level of clothing. No way that was going to have enough water moving around folded/compressed clothing to remove dirt, so I paused the wash and selected "deep fill". Over an hour later and I have clothes with dirt clinging to fabric. I COULD HAVE DONE BETTER BY SOAKING CLOTHES IN SOAPY WATER IN MY BATHTUB AND AGITATING WITH A BROOM! Electronic gadgetry, no matter how fancy, is not what cleans clothes. You need soap to release soil from fabric and agitation to to allow the dirt to go into the water. This machine doesn't do either. On top of that, the sensor is fickle- I had to set and reset selections until the sensor mechanism decided to evaluate the load and start the cycle. In the end, it takes longer and several runs to get clothes cleaned: where are the savings? I am using more water over 2-3 cycles I need to clean clothes and more electricity as well. Looking at a model without the shiny buttons (i.e. mechanical dials for selectors) even if it is a smaller capacity

We purchased this washing machine with the impression that the “deep fill” option would actually allow me to fill the tub. We were very inaccurate. Sheets, towels, and bulky items didn’t even get covered in the wash cycle. Everything came out dirty and tangled. I tried every option this machine allowed, it didn’t clean our clothes. Best Buy customer service was fantastic though, the picked it up 8 days later. No one has 2 hours of their life to waste washing sheets in a huge washing machine that doesn’t fill or clean their clothes. I ended up comparing the new Speed Queen with a commercial Maytag, and the Maytag won. It’s received raving reviews and comes with a 5 year (everything is covered) warranty. 3.5 CU. FT. COMMERCIAL-GRADE RESIDENTIAL AGITATOR WASHER Model #: MVWP575GW I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS MACHINE. All our clothes are clean, and it runs like my mothers washing machine. A normal cycle is under 45 minutes too.
