QuestionConsumer 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?
Asked 6 years ago by mdwash1.
- Answer 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

QuestionWill I be able to fit a comforter in this machine with the agitator? If so, does it wash bedding well?
Asked 7 years ago by GeeGee.
- Answer 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.

QuestionAre you able to remove the agitator if you wish? For example if you wish to put a large bulky item in...
Asked 7 years ago by Fire.
- Answer 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.

QuestionDoes 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.
Asked 7 years ago by Fire.
- Answer 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.
