    Best US DW available at the moment

    Bosch site can be a bit tricky to navigate, but I found the "outer door" I needed on Bosch's site--it's been a year ago, so some things may have changed. Instead of putting my model number in, I chose the same model in the color choice I was looking for. I am having difficulty getting the site...

    Whirlpool Washer Rant!

    I've owned the older model of this washer for seven years now. No issues other than replacing the agitator dogs (inexpensive easy-to-replace part that has to be replaced occasionally due to normal wear/tear). Interesting. Does the newer model override the "Normal" cycle only or all cycles...

    Best US DW available at the moment

    I ended up going with the Bosch 300. It’s the next model up, featuring an all-stainless steel interior and some nice rack upgrades. I typically run it on the Max cycle with Sani and Max rinse aid (use Finish rinse aid), and I’ve saved that combo to the "My Favorites" setting. As long as I...

    Speed Queen TR washers

    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...

    Whirlpool washer quality

    @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...

    Current Maytag MVWP586GW. Anyone bought one recently ?

    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...

    Speed Queen Home 2025

    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...

    New Speed Queen - extending wash cycle

    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...

    The Great Debate. Gas vs Electric Dryers

    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...

    Expert weighs in on quick wash cycle

    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...

    Speed Queen - Coming Soon...

    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...

    What's everyone using for laundry detergent these days?

    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...

    what do aw members know of this maytag model do it replace the model mvw6230hw ?

    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...

    what do aw members know of this maytag model do it replace the model mvw6230hw ?

    @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...
