More switches and sensors means more things to break. I'll take the Speed Queen.
I'm with you!
I have owned the Maytag Commercial for about 4 years now and I wanted to correct some mis-information in the video as far as hot water so buyers can make an informed decision. The Maytag only TEMPERS the hot water on the normal cycle. It also only fills half way on normal and doesn’t fill a second time to rinse, it just sprays water as it spins. This normal cycle is like their eco cycle. All the other cycles does give you 100% hot water along with filling to the top and doing a true re-fill rinse cycle. I have owned it for years and have tested all of this. Again, you get 100% hot water in all but the normal cycle. I usually use the mixed or power wash cycles which are full function cycles. I have had no problems with mine in 4 plus years and the dual agitator is what sold me on it, it really gets dirty clothes clean. I highly recommend this washer.
I had a Maytag commercial. At the time I purchased the Maytag, it only had a one year warranty. The Maytag lasted exactly one year. Maytag would not fix the machine but luckily I bought an extended warranty from Home Depot and they couldn’t fix the machine so they gave us a full replacement cost coupon for a new machine of our choice. The Maytag cleaned well but broke beyond economical repair. Steer clear of the Maytag.
What did you buy as the replacement?
If you bought it at Home Depot it may not be a true _COMMERCIAL_ washer, but a _COMMERCIAL TECHNOLOGY_ machine.
Home Depot doesn't carry the MVWP575GW reviewed here, but one of the Whirlpool clones that also include machines badged as _Amana, Roper, Conservator, Crosley...._
I have the Maytag commercial washer with the 5 year warranty. I have had it for 5 years. It has broken down 4 times since I have had it, About once a year. First time was the Water Pump, second time was the Actuator, third time was the wiring harness (break in wire that tech couldn't find so he replaced), forth time was the transmission. The transmission gave out right when the warranty expired. Each time a repair was needed it took at least 30 days to get it fixed. I'm now shopping for another washer. I figure I have a spare part of everything after the 5 year warranty, if I can still get the P575GW0 model. It's a sad deal......most washers are junk and your lucky to get 3 years out of them without problems. (Average 5 loads per week.)
UPDATE:
After doing some research, I ended up purchasing a Speed Queen TC5.
This is the REAL reason to get a SQ, imo.
Side-by-side comparison is extremely helpful
When I was assigned in the U.S from time to time I used to go around in your country just like any tourist. And I came across this scene in a construction site being worked on by a construction firm and here is my story. I came across this particular construction site, and other sites just like it out of curiosity and they said these same stories again and again! In the late 1960s and early 1970s construction workers used to say they can toss anything into a laundry machine that is heavily caked in oil and mud and even heavy boots in construction sites and these laundry machines and driers just keeps on doing the job 24-7 and 365 for many and many and many and many and mnay decades! One of the older workers said, these washing machines just keep on taking all kinds of abuse and yet they did a very good job in cleaning our stuff for decades without any problem ever since I have been working for this company for more than 50 years, he is a field foreman on that site. And my question is this. WHAT HAPPEN? I came across this particular construction site, and other sites just like it out of curiosity and they said these same stories again and again! I AM NOT LYING! AND I CAN STILL REMEMBER WHAT HE SAID AND I CAN STILL REMEMBER HIS OLD WEATHERED FACE WHEN HE TOLD ME THAT. So my question is, what happen!? His claims are true about those OLD corporate washing machines own by these construction companies, so my question is, WHAT HAPPEN!?
@@darthvader5300 Planned obsolescence abd corporate greed us what happened. So did consumer refusal to pay higher prices during inflationary times. Consumers are memorized by pretty lights, abd buttons and dials that give them a feeling of power to control a machines functions more precisely. They were told that appliances would last longer with less "moving parts" - the BIG LIE. HEAT and MOISTURE are the enemies of printed circuit boards. And what do you unavoidably have in kitchens and laundry rooms? BOTH ENEMIES! Manufacturers made appliances more electronically complicated in response and also to meet ever increasing One World Government mandates for energy and water usage abd polution reduction. We now have washers with plastic gears that make mud out of 3 gallons if water instead of the 10-20 gallons deep waterw washers like these use. Corporations NEED you to replace appliances more often because we don't have the post WWII population explosion feeding demand anymore. SPEED QUEEN washers are the ONLY truly heavy duty washer makers for home use. ALLIANCE - their renamed company builds virtually ALL BRANDS of commercial washers found in hotels and laundromats. A SQ front load washer is identical to the smaller machines cyo find in laundromats. Thus guy is a salesman trying to get you buy his high profit MAYTAG made if plastic parts identical to those of a cheap AMANA. The Speed Queen hasn't changed much since the 1960's. Changes have made them MORE SERVICEABLE. Are you sure this hustler used the same amount and type of detergent?
The lighting in the comparisons was not equal at all, so it made the Speed Queen fabric appear dingy. Look at the hands also.

@@chcnsac really grest catch! I know Speed Queen screwed him over & it's BS but if he purposely scued results that's BS as well. Don't stoop to thst level. It's clear he is definitely favoring Maytag though! Also crazy how much cheaper both were at the time of this video!
Thank you so much for this video Eugene! I have been waiting for it and the chart was super helpful! I am so glad I purchased the Maytag (after watching your videos) a few months ago - I truly love it!
I love this talent of making the comparisons. Thank you for your time.
Thanks for the side by side comparison. Appreciate the effort you put into the video.
You did a great job with this video. Clear, concise, practical information. The graphic chart was a great addition for your talking points. I understand it was challenging for you to create, but that small addition sets your review apart from all the rest, in a good way. Thank you.
Thank you so very much for your absolutely fantastic review! I was in such a quandary after purchasing my brand new "wonderful" - (piece of junk) HE machines, and I just didn’t know what to do.....until I came across your fabulous video! I know it took you forever to make it, but if you only knew how helpful it is to those of us who are not savvy to all the new technology out there. I feel so much better after listening to you and I am extremely grateful to your excellent customer service ethic! ❤️
Thank you so much for doing the video I found it very informative and I'm happy to know that somebody is actually building washing machines at work again
Thank you for the side by side chart that took you so much time to make.
Great video. I clicked “like” when you said it took 8 hrs to make your comparison matrix. Great dedication.
YOUR TIME IN EDITING WAS SO WELL SPENT!!!! As a teacher preparing lessons online, I totally sympathize!!! It does take a lot of time. So THANK YOU for doing this comparison....subscribed! My husband is a dairy farmer, so our Speed Queen gets quite a work out. Straight Hot Water all the way with our situation, and the clothes get clean!! The INSTALLERS told us SQ is the best for dependability, and we replaced the Maytag that was here when he was a kid. RIP.
Thank you for taking the time to do this test. USA, USA, USA.
Fantastic video. Thank you for your time
Brilliant graphics! Thank you!!
I love the commentary about his video editing efforts
Thank you for showing us this comparison. Henry really enjoyed learning about the Maytag washer.
Thank you for your great presentation!
By watching your video and other videos I just bought the maytag 575 and iam in love with it really worth the money I spend love it
MAYTAG 575 number #1
Loved the side by side comparison and I feel your pain in making a decent video. They are deceptively difficult to put together a good looking video. You do an excellent job! Thanks for all of your hard work!
I purchased the Maytag about a year ago after watching your videos. I groaned when I saw this new SQ unit because that is what I really wanted, old school, but not the TR5 model. I feel better knowing the Maytag edges out this new-old SQ. I have been very happy with the Maytag all but one nit... you cant fill the tub with lid open
Great video! Your hard research made my decision much easier.
My parents bought an Amana washing machine and dryer back in 1999. I was 8 yrs old then. They still have both units to this date and still works like a charm. The only thing is , rust started to appear a year ago atop the tub area but other than that, it's a solid equipment.
I have the Maytag Commercial. VERY satisfied with the performance.
Loved the side by side comparison! Just discovered your channel and can tell just from this first video that you and your channel are just what I've been looking for: a source of reliable information about laundry appliances from someone who really knows what they're talking about from personal experience and expertise.
being a Maytag dealer, I'd take his "comparisons" with a grain of salt. if the SQ still is using a Electro-mechanical timer and old style Transmission, I'd expect it to be far more reliable then the Whirlpool, (oops I mean Maytag ;) ;) )
What about water level? I sometimes have a very small load. 0:11
Water level is not an option on speed queen. 0:11
@@susanhrivenbark8732 on my 2016 there are water levels. my s q beats the clothes to death. I'd go with the maytag for the agitator.
The side by side comparison is AWESOME, thank you!!!!
Appreciate your honest simple review on the 2 brands. This helps me alot to make a final decision.
Which one did you get & how is it today?
I am happy with my AWN432 mechanical dial SQ. It cleans clothes as well as the DD Kenmore that the SQ replaced. I do miss the gentle cycle on the Kenmore, and the many wash level settings it had. If I were shopping for a new machine today, it would be the new classic SQ.
Great job thank you for your hard work and knowledge sharing
This video what exactly what I’ve been looking for...thanks so much for taking the time!
Thanks for comparison very useful information to help us be more informed
I have been using 14 y/o Maytag ( bought new) for a five adult family and it has started to give issues.Ido my own repairs and I like that about my Maytag: diy friendly and parts are plentiful. This gave me a bettter way of shopping.Thanks
Yesterday, I bought my third washer in five years. I purchased the Speed Queen, it is tried and true, the cost is three hundred more than you listed and the warranty is five years. I wanted a washer that didn't swing like clothes sitting in a hammock, with little water. I will have to wait and see how pleased I am. The reason I purchased the Speed Queen was recommendations from my washer repairman.
You will come to really appreciate SQ -- I have had my w/d for 10 years and never a moment's trouble.
Thank you. Thank you. You're the Man!!!
Appreciate the objective comparison of industry brand leaders. I'm going with the Maytag too, mostly for the extra 2yrs of peace of mind and it's less expensive.
Thank you so much for doing these videos! I have an older Speed Queen that I LOVE! When I needed to buy a washer for a rental unit last year I was going to buy another SQ... then I saw your reviews... so I bought something else. Glad they went back to the old design... but I brought my old one with me when I moved cross country this year. :-)
East Mountaon Escapes Thanks for your comments!!! May I please know the Speed Queen Model number that you own?
@@brendame The model number is AWN412SP111TW01
The last Maytag toploads I had quit in three years and company would not stand by them. I’ll take the speed queen!
Yes - my dealer who worked AT maytag 30 yrs said just as many bad stories about Maytag. He said and I agree there are great machines on BOTH companies - and just as many typical shady things they do. My sister’s new Maytag was plasticky and ugly. Th SQ 2017 stinker hardly destroyed the company. Buy old school models of BOTH companies and all will be good!
Great review! I like that, even though you prefer the Maytag, you let us know we really can’t go wrong.
Thanks for all your work on another great review, we have ordered the Maytag in Canada and although we have to wait a month we think it is worth the wait.
Perfect! Exactly what I was looking for. Will buy the Maytag
Did u buy it & how is it going?
Great video! Very helpful!
Thank you for great job. I Really appreciate this kind of comparison. How I wish you can do the same thing with refrigerators to help us make our wise choice. Keep doing such a very good job
Side by side chart was VERY helpful. Thanks for posting
Thanks for the videos, I wish I was local to purchase my appliances from you!
Update to my previous comment, one of local dealers had this TR5000WN 2019 model as an unused floor model in their showroom for 699.00. Sure beats waiting months and spending 1199.00 for the 2021 model which is identical. Sitting next to it was the matching dc5000wg dryer which was 649.00 instead of 1149.00. My dryer was working but pretty old so I figured I would get the matching set at those prices. They both work great.
Excellent comparison. Thank you!
Very clear and concise. Easy to make a choice.
I am still enjoying the performance and reliability of my 1987 Sears Kenmore washer and gas dryer. 34 years old and still doing the job!
My grandparents had a set from the 60s that they used until the early 2000s when they remodeled the laundry room. They DON'T make them that good anymore.
Fortunately, parts for your dryer are still readily available because they still make the dryer with a few minor changes - just look for ANY BRAND with that pull from the top lint screen. I'm afraid that other than a belt, parts for your washer are no longer made, but used ones might be. The timers are Repairable by the older, more experienced TECHNICIAN
@@Elementaliti Well, Speed Queen hasn't changed much and are durable. Whirlpool dryers with the tell-tale top rear mounted lint filter are still made under AMANA and other brands.
@@Jake-by9ly That's sad, Speed Queen used to be top tier. Did they just rest on their laurels and stop improving? The Maytag looks years ahead in development.
@@Elementaliti you gotta remember this is his opinion. My personal opinion is SQ is made so much better then Maytag in my opinion.
By far It’s the best one I’ve ever owned!
Been looking for this comparison. Thanks!!
Thank you for making this video. It's been very helpful.
Simple breakdown of the deciding factors. SQ5000: Last five years longer(transmission/general durability) IF the 2 control boards holdup which may be hard to replace in a few years as they are exclusive to the model. Maytag: Washes a little better, core repairs are easier and parts easier to acquire for DIYers. 10/5 warranty on the GW model is the one to buy if you choose Maytag. Cheaper. That's my take. I went through this and bought the Maytag and I'm about 2 years in now with no issues at all.
The Maytag commercial will be my next set. I think it comes really close, if not equal to old style cleaning. I watched an in-depth review of the guts of the Maytag and was pretty impressed at the build quality for a 2020s era washer. The dryer had better build quality as well. Thanks so much for all of your reviews as they made up my mind as to what I wanted to buy.
DON'T BUY THE MAYTAG WASHER....IT IS AWFUL!!!!
THANK YOU!!!! Excellent and informative video.
Great review, thank you.
My new Maytag commercial comes tomorrow. My brother has it and said it's great.
Awesome review! Thank you for putting this together for us. You made some very good comparisons and presented it in a very easy to understand way. =]
Hell yeah brother! Thanks!
Thanks for this review!
The front loaders are the most efficient and yet still do a large load such as comforters, the old top loaders were great and easy to repair! Now they complicate them and add sensors and circuit boards, very expensive to repair😱
Thumbs up!! One more thing - if Speed Queen will not stand behind you A DEALER, why would they stand behind me in my house in Miami Florida? Didn't they stop selling to you because they didn't like your review of the 2018 machine? I can't support them even in recommendations until they apologize to you publicly, give you a machine, and re-instate your dealership! That is just plain baby-nonsense to say if you don't say what they want, you can't be a dealer. That is censorship by bullying. I can't accept that.
Totally agree with you here...it's one thing if SQ was The Only good option out there...but clearly, there's another good option, so SQs handling of their own screw up by removing anyone who criticized it, is complete BS. That's not how good business is done and I really hope they're paying a price for it as Eugene does a great job with helping his customers out.
I agree with you 100%. But i do have to give Alliance Laundry Systems credit for listening to the consumer and going back to the 2017 design.
@@imperiallebaron2391 They did it only because their sales tanked.
@@johnberard330 Well in the business world, money talks. The consumers weren't happy with the new design so they stopped buy Speed Queen. In fact people that bought the new machines sent them back.
Thanks for sharing all of this... I've been trying to decide between these two, but now I am going to go with Maytag purely because the morality of the company is far superior to SpeedQueen's. They think people won't notice these things, but we do and they should definitely learn how to take constructive criticism, apologize, and be kinder in the future.
I've owned my Speed Queen AWN432SP for 5 years. It has performed flawlessly, this machine is used everyday along with my speed Queen dryer.
This video is what made me decide to get the Maytag!
My grandmother bought a used Speed Queen that was 20 years old, and had it for another 40 years. It ran like a dream.
have a friend who has 27 years and counting with her Speed Queen
Yep. They were a good company back then.

What is the model and moderl number of your SPEED QUEEN laundry machine (and dryer)? You want mind if somebody take a personal look at it and even reverse engineer it?

@@darthvader5300 If you're asking me, I don't know. It's long gone.
I have the Maytag 575 and it does very well. I've put clothes in it thinking it wouldn't come clean but it has every time.
Christian Johnson how long have you had your maytag? I want to get one
Thank you!
Great video! Just purchased the SQ TC
You are amazing, thanks for your detailed research. Going to go with Maytag!
I have the speed queen tc5 and I love it. However alot of people don't know how to properly get stains out and blame the washer. Pre treating is the key for successful stain removal regardless of the washer
Exactly. I do this with my TR7 and have no complaints.
Acknowledged. What are you using for pretreatment?
@@FredFlintstone21 I just use liquid detergent like I use for the washing machine. I don't like the lid turning off the fill cycle but my old Maytag don't do that only during the wash and spin cycle. I hate the thought of buying a new machine because they aren't real old school machines. The best old school machines is the 1990s Maytag machine. I will be looking for a used machine. 73
@@FredFlintstone21What has worked for me:
Warm water, then rub Fels Naptha soap and work it in with a soft toothbrush. Let sit 15-30 min.
If stain is older or complex, spray with Oxiclean Max Force-after Fels Naptha-and let sit overnight.
Wash on WARM with an Oxiclean boosted detergent like All plus Oxi (this one has enzymes), add 1/4c Washing Soda to help detergent penetrate better. If garment could use disinfecting or is a towel/sheet, add 1-2 tbsp sodium percarbonate.
Do not put in dryer until stain is gone.
If it's an industrial mess like grease or chemicals, try making a paste of Lestoil plus Tide powder plus 70-90% rubbing alcohol. Rub on stain with toothbrush. After a couple of hours, spray with Max Force and let sit overnight.
Launder per above instructions (WARM + washing soda).
I’ve never had to pre treat a stain in my front load machine, red wine, chocolate, oil, etc. Here in the uk I use biological washing powder
thank you. you did a great job with this.
Excellent review! We bought one based on your research and video presentation. Thank you so much! (We went with the Maytag BTW).
Wife loves it. 5 years in home service. Almost unheard of nowadays.
Let’s not forget the Dual Action Agitator was a Sears in house developed design in collaboration with Whirlpool.
Speed Queen has extended the 10 year warranty until the end of the year as of this writing (nov 2019). Also the machines computer has a surge protector built into it according to the Salesman who I talked to.
Tammi Starks Thanks for the information!!! May I please know where you bought your washer?
Thanks for your fine comparison video. Your chart is also excellent, so keep up the good work. We have a 2016 Speed Queen AWN432 that replaced a 9 year old LG front loader with a failing circuit board. Thankfully because of Speed Queen's reliability, we're probably not in the market for a new washer or dryer for many years. When you put the new Maytag and Speed Queen side by side, I can honestly say I would be happy with either. As for the Maytag not dispensing straight hot water (and like hot water especially with anything that uses bleach, I could just turn the cold water off while it was filling, then turn it back on when it starts agitating. In winter, I have to turn the cold water down to get warm water, so I'm used to it. Also had to do that with my 1996 Frigidaire Gallery, which ran just fine. I never should have traded it for the LG! Eugene, your videos are well done, informative, and honest. If I did not live so far away, I would buy my appliances from you.
Nope, people buy so many things today to get the best performance and end up spending so much money on replacing them time and time again. Would much rather have the reliability and not have to buy a new washer every 5 years. With a quality detergent and good laundry routine (ie don’t let stains sit untreated for a week) the SQ will do a fine job.
My speed queen rips up all my clothes and towels and linens. It's horrible!
yup I got mine used too and its FABULOUS SQ
@@barbaramazzocca4605 which model is it?
I love my Speed Queen best washer I have ever used
I purchased the TC5 and couldn't be happier. It's as solidly built as a washer could be. The maytag in person felt cheaply made in my opinion
very nice comparison, thank you.
This was very helpful. Thanks!
Great video!👍. We just looked at both of these machines, and went with the SQ TC7. The deciding factors..washer was on sale, so we got it for the TC5 price, 7 year full factory parts and labor. SQ has a factory service tech in our area, and Maytag did not, so factory warranty and factory service was a big deal to us, especially in our current world of throw away/replace vs. old school service
epair. Both MT and SQ were nice machines, either is a great choice. Check out factory service in your area before buying.
Are you still happy with Tc700?
Absolutely! The only negative from my wife is there are times she wishes the tub was bigger, but we both agree, we would buy SQ again. The dryer kicks butt. Does this machine move some serious air. Way better than any HE model we ever owned. Of course, compare the two in person if you can.
So true, Samsung no repair in my area, fridge, 4yrs, dead.
Thanks for the side by side comparison and you answered THE most important question for me...HOT WATER.
I just got a GE washer that says "deep water wash", "deep rinse" and a "hot wash"...nope. It cheats on the hot wash, starts hot, you put your fingers in the water..ow ow ow...HOT, but as soon as you close the lid, it adds cold....wash temp was 92. We own an HVAC company and clothes are touching condensate lines from commercial buildings that can contain contaminates such as bacteria from Legionaire's Disease, deadly molds and even viruses...so HOT HOT HOT is necessary. Whites in this new GE machine, coffee stains still on my dish towels...same towels I've had for years, same soap, same bleach, same water, same coffee even...but wash agitation must be useless or lack of hot water...stains remain. Deep water is a joke...gigantic stainless tank...but haven't been able to use the top six inches for anything. It has an agitator, but can't use the top six inches of that either. I've tried a few work-arounds...nope. Machine going back. Probably will get the TC5 because I need the scalding hot water to wash work clothes, towels, sheets...and now, omg, my kitchen towels. Got to wondering if the GE could get skid marks out of undies...probably would leave that too. YECHHHH!!! Is there a work-around to fill the Maytag with scalding hot water???
BTW-Was born in Cleveland, lived in Avon Lake...in Lorain County! Now in Kansas. Thank YOU for this comparison!!!
My 1990 Maytag washer and dryer are still running great. I have replaced a few parts on the dryer but nothing has been done to the washer. These are the best appliances I have ever bought.
I am going to get the Maytag. The only thing I wish it had was a stand alone water level knob with small, medium, large loads.
Excellent video! Thanks very much for putting that together. Really enjoy your channel!
Thanks for posting and sharing!
I have the Speed Queen TR3 Model from 2018, and I strongly believe the agitator for Maytag is a whole lot better from what I see. The "AUGER" style from the Maytag seems to do more of a detailed mix of the clothing than the Speed Queen. The SQ seems to just leave the clothes floating on top without the agitator mixing it, I noticed that AFTER I bought this SQ model. And sometimes I still see some debris and dirt even after I do a wash, so for me this is very disappointing! Next time I buy ANY washer, I'm gonna make sure it has the AUGER type agitator. I used to own a Whirlpool washer (the first kind of model WITHOUT an agitator, just a tub) and boy, was it a joke! Sometimes it left the clothes soaking wet even after the wash had completely ended...I junked that sucker! Never cleaned also! I'm a part-time oil worker so I HAVE to use a top quality washer to clean my clothes. If I'm too oily when I come home, I either douse myself with my garden hose water outside using dishwashing soap and a large scrubber to clean myself and clothes with and toss in the washer after, or I sometimes strip down and use the washer if it's not that bad.
Thanks!!!
LIKE THE CHARTS GOOD JOB PERFECT TIME I AM LOOKING FOR A NEW MACHINE
Just purchased the Speed Queen and totally love it! Was going for a modern look since I was looking at the LG front loader and thanks to your reviews, I chose this route---I have always owned Maytag, however the look of the Maytag was too commercial looking. So I got the best of both worlds. Very pretty and extremely efficient. Wash sheets in 20 minutes and they came out clean: crisp white!
I’m trying to find out with the newer speed queen if you have any mold problems in your new machine you had it for a little while now appreciate if you could answer thank you.
On the SQ TC5000, can you start the fill up on one temperature setting and then switch midway? (For example, I don't want straight hot, but I want hotter than warm, so I want to start with the setting on hot and then midway, switch to warm.)
Rena Poppers yes you can switch midway only on heavy duty or perm press not on normal/eco. Or you could just close the cold water faucet a little bit and leave it
@@renapoppers2068 I do that too.
Great video... I opted to get the Speed Queen just because of the tap hot water available. I love it. I do wish the tank was larger than 3.2 cu ft, but I have no problem with the agitator. It's great. Also have no issue with the noise. Would recommend it!
Yes I wish they had a bigger then a 3.2
TC5 is a great machine. Laundry always comes out clean.
Definitely like side by side comparisons.
I top was torn between the 2 but I am gonna go the with maytag ! Great video
I got sick of fancy machines and used ones .....just hooked up new speed queen set hoping the last the rest of my life
I am leaning toward getting that Maytag commercial to replace my 30 year old Maytag LA412 model. I really like the fact that it fills up with water. Your videos are must see for anyone doing research on washing machines. Very informative.
The speed queen offers actuall hot water not warm water and trust me even if you rig it in a way where no cold water comes in, the washer will just stop filling until it senses a cooler warm water temps again
Unless you have 12 gallons of hot boiling water to manually pour into the tub
@@fargeeks - I was going to say that one could simply shut off the cold water and force the Maytag to input hot-only water. If it won't allow you to do that, then that's a game-changer.
Speed queen all the wa
Great video. The bottom line is you cannot go wrong with either. It’s great to have two robust options in the face of all the garbage we have on the market.
I bought a Maytag commercial washer and dryer set. I’ve been extremely happy with them. Most times I come home from work caked in mud, grease, you name it. Blown away at how clean my work clothes get.
Michele T which model do you have?
rrt401 I have the MAYTAG MVWP575GW with matching dryer.
@@micheleracer5574 Thank you!
@@micheleracer5574 How is the Maytag holding up ?
pat cola It’s still holding up great. Cleans just as good as when I first got it. Still my favorite washer.
So glad I made the right choice! Maytag😁 thank you, because I was leaning towards Speed Queen and couldn't find one available.
How has the washer been?
@@eoh8915 I returned them. Lol Just wasn't like my last ones. They were a discontinued pair anyway.
@@NiNitosix Thank you for sharing! what did you go with after? I have ordered the Maytag from Costco so I do have 90 days to return if I hate it.
I have six kids and use cloth diapers. I am so excited to get my Maytag Commerical next week.
Did you get it? How are your kids clothes looking? I have two kids also and I'm thinking about buying the Maytag.
thank you
When it recently came time for us to get a new washer to replace our 10 year old Bravos (after four repairs, three of them being replacing the panel) I was thinking of buying the Speed Queen at first, but since we had other expensive things to replace, the price turned it down, so we went with the Maytag. Definitely the second best washer we have, next to the late 90s DD Kenmore we had prior to the Bravos. These washers are a rare occurrence where the phrase “yesterday’s looks meets today’s technology” actually has meaning to it.
I love these washing machines and it’s really hard to get them in the UK 🇬🇧 you have to wait months and months before they get into the Britain in a Maytag machine broke I had a Maytag and it lasted me for nine years without breaking it was fantastic the clothes come out a lot cleaner
Why not fixing it?
