Plastic vs metal outer tub and suspension... I apologize, but I got confused as I read through this discussion. The washing machines with plastic outer tubs I have seen tend to be the vmw with hung suspension. The washing machines I have seen or heard about with metal outer tubs had a...

@panisonicvac RE: Maytag Commerical Residential mvwp575gw I've had my Maytag mvwp575gw for almost 7 years now. The only repair I have made is to replace those agitator dogs, less than $5. For others reading, it is the part that makes the top and bottom of the agitator turn in different...

I have the older version of the MT mentioned... I have been able to wash a queen-size and queen/full quilts (thinner and less fluffy than comforters) in the Maytag 575 (older version w/o the water level switch) or the Speed Queen TC5. Anything more than that probably will not fit--the thin...

My opinion after using both MT575 and SQTC5 As a home user who utilizes both models every week, here's my take on them. I believe the Maytag (MT) has an edge when it comes to cleaning performance due to its dual-action agitator. It effectively moves clothes through the water, ensuring they get...

TC5 Extended Wash Not advertised super cycle. On my TC5, I can get an extended wash time by selecting "Heavy Soil" for the normal eco cycle. The water temp is selectable as well (hot really is tap hot). This is kind of like a super cycle with this particular combo only as heavy soil on any...

Save using electric or gas dryer... I use a spin dryer (have both Panda and Ninja). Not only does it cut down on the amount of time to dry clothes, but I can also use lower heat settings. No issues with wiring yet. Maybe the lower heat settings help? Lower heat setting seem to help...

Quick Wash Cycle on Maytag mvwp575gw and TC5... :-) The newer model that replaced this older model Maytag machine would be mvwp586gw (I think). This cycle (aka Normal Eco) is about 7 minutes long. It's a half tub fill for the wash and a spray rinse. Seven minutes is too short for a load of...

I would have chosen water level control over color... I have been happy with my older model Maytag mvwp575gw, which is over six years old now. Only replaced the inexpensive agit dogs (a few dollars when purchased from eBay). With this in mind and given the limited availability of Speed Queen...

My favorites... My overall favorite for powder is Tide with bleach. I am wondering about this Tide professinal powder though....An honorable mention would be Gain powder. For liquid, I really like Persil Intense fresh. For whites, I like Persil with stain fighter along with some oxi-clean...

DADoES RE: Drying Rack I couldn't find it as a part listed for that dryer on wwwmaytagpartsonline.com. It's not listed as an accessory in the manual, or I missed it. Maybe I typed in something wrong. They do make several drying rack that might fit, but I would have to see the inside of...

@pierreandreply4 This is a little off topic. What is the cost difference between the Maytag mvwp586gw and the TC5 washer/dryer set where you live? I have both the older version of the Maytag mvwp585gw and the TC5. These two washers or the GE Commercial are the only top load washers I would...

I ended up getting the Bosch 300 Dishwasher... I was trying to choose between the KitchenAid 604, Maytag MDB8959SKB, and the Bosch. I kept going back to Bosch. I love the idea of no melted plastics! However, keep in mind that plastics still have to be dishwasher safe as it gets hot! All dw...

Colored Caps and Measuring Detergent Persil stainfighter with a red cap has tactile lines and a number imprinted above. I bought some to try for whites just to see if it was better than Tide powder with bleach. I have difficulty seeing small print (even with glasses) without making it larger...

On my Magic Chef washer, I can bypass magnet lid lock by... I have a Magic Chef 1.6 cu. ft. washer that is about 4 years old now? I can bypass the lid lock by using one of those phone vent clip magnets and placing it above the Magic Chef logo. When I stand in front of the washer, that spot...
