    Maytag mvwp586gw / Maytag mvwp585gw Video Available on YT

    A video has been posted by Kirk Rivas. I am guessing the 585gw model has the 5-yr. warranty, and the 586gw has the 1-yr. warranty? Price looks to be about $1035 USA, so it's looks like the upgrade didn't add too much to the current cost. Like the newer design better especially the knobs...

    Purchase dilemma: MVWP575GW or bust

    Maytag mvwp585gw vs TC5 I am not sure what the difference is you'll pay. To me that may make a difference in what I could get. Where I live, the Maytag set updated models with water level control is looking to be around $2200, and the Speed Queen TC5/DC5 dryer almost $2700. Keep in mind you...

    Purchase dilemma: MVWP575GW or bust

    Maytag mvwp575gw I have owned this machine for 4.5 years now without issues. I use the appropriate water temp, don't overload, and the correct amount of a quality detergent. I don't use fabric softener or dryer sheets. You can't beat the wash action of this washer. I'm curious as to what...

    End of an Era, "commercial" VMWs discontinued!

    Transmission and a Few Thoughts... In this YouTube video, it says the GE Commercial has a steel transmission that seems like it would be better quality. Lorain Furniture has also reviewed it. (Posted this link below as it doesn't seem to be embedding correctly) I still prefer how the...

    dishwasher recommendation for my brother and sister in law

    Gmarquez, about Miele Why is the Miele nicer than the Bosch 500/800, KitchenAid 200, 400, 600 series, or the Maytag mentioned in Reply #3. In other words, what makes it stand out to you over the rest? The dishwashers in the post are the ones I am looking at too. With the KitchenAid...

    End of an Era, "commercial" VMWs discontinued!

    Correction. Sorry. I meant the mvwp585gw (like the mvwp575gw) would still be my overall second choice even though I prefer the dual action agitator and even though the 585 now has more water level options. It's still my top pick for cleaning performance. The difference in price and my...

    mvwp585gw....tap hot workaround. Also, Ryne, read this one. Reply #53. I made a typo in the post. Model is mvwp585gw . Ryne, I don't know what screen reader you use to test this with. I hope this helps. Here is the text in the photo that shows the cycles and wash temperature. It's set up...

    MVWP585GW water temp and water usage Reply #46 - $1854. This must have been the Canadian price? Go to Lowes website and specifically type in the model number, wvwp585gw. You can get additional info on this washer. The manual seems very specific that cold is added to hot to save energy...

    LG WM3600 water level can still easily be raised

    LG Water Level I did raise the water level in my washer, but I could open the door at any point in the cycle and not have water spill out.

    Looking for a new dish washer

    I should clarify this.. I am using Finish tabs (pressed powder). They now have a plastic wrap designed to dissolve instead of the foil pouch. I do cut that and peel it off before using. You can't really safely cut the plastic wrap off the Finish Quantum without risking coming in contact with...

    Looking for a new dish washer

    Using pods? Using liquid or powder instead of pods may reduce some of the build up on the filter. The plastic film is supposed to dissolve. I wish I would have bookmarked the video that showed how the film which turns into a gooey substance collected in the filter--I believe it was a Bosch...

    I found a link for the Maytag mvwp585gw It says out of stock at Lowes, but the price shows $1,854??? You've got to be kidding me. It has pictures. It looks a lot like the Maytag mvwp575gw with the black console panel and white body, but has an additional button on the left for water...

    Crystal Dry make for difficult repair? Bosch, KA, Maytag

    I have purchased a used part to keep my 10 y/o old Frigidaire dishwasher going for a bit longer, but the touch panel is starting to fail. It washes well! I'm not sure if it would be worth it to put a new touch pad in, which is a significant cost. I think I paid around $400 for this. It...

    No more defending SpeedQueen.

    Agree with kenc. Seven years? Most manufacturers might say that. After all, it seems the life expectancy for a front load washer is 8 to 10 years. However, Speed Queen says this, "While we’ve domesticated our commercial machines a bit for your home and removed the coin box, they are every...

    No more defending SpeedQueen.

    Agree with Maytag85 and cost of board for FL I agree with you, Maytag85. The cost of the board is a concern in regard to the front load. I know my TC5 has two boards, I think they are called output board and control assembly. I looked up the price of these electronics before purchasing. If...

    Dual Action vs. Straight Vane I think you will get a little better wash action with the dual action agitator as it is very effective in moving clothes and even larger items down, in, and through the water. I can see the difference when washing a quilt in my Maytag vs. TC5 (but I still feel it...

    End of an Era, "commercial" VMWs discontinued!

    mvwp585gw... The lack of smaller load options with water temperature control was the biggest con. Looks like they have fixed it! I def would prefer this over the GE Commercial unless they've changed something between how the 575 and 585 works. I ended up getting around the Normal Eco cycle...

    The bottom line... I went back and watch the video. I can't find any discrepancies for the main points vs. what other reputable reviewers have stated. This video goes into the history more than the other reviews I've watched. In regard to new top load washers sold TODAY. You only have a few...

    Tide Leaving Funky Odor Behind

    Cleanclean, another thought? Do you use fabric softener? Fabric softener and some liquid detergents used improperly can get gunked up inside the holes of the agitator, under the wash plate, in the dispenser, etc. where you can not see it. I used to occasionally use fabric softener, and I quit...

    MT mvwp575gw, SQ TC5, WP CAE2795FQ, and Amana w/ dual action This is a long post that is basically a review. Please feel free to skip, but I think it's important for me to say this as someone who has experience using the Maytag mvwp575gw washer and now the SQ TC5. I own and use the Maytag...
