It is one of those ad-type articles, or whatever you call them. It has links to buy Cascade, Finish, and whatever. I figured that's why it's free and not particularly detailed or necessarily accurate, so I'm not sure why it's not visible to some. I used to enjoy Popular Mechanics, but if this...

The thing with "rapid advance" is, as far as I understand, is that no matter what cycle and options, including Extra Rinse, you have selected with the knobs, holding Start for 3 seconds will cancel the wash altogether, then pressing start again just starts a whole new wash, which is why it...

TC5 Water Level Monitoring? But then that Cycle Matrix also says at the bottom: "Notes: Water level monitoring feature included; Unit will stop once lid is opened and will resume when lid is closed. Start button does not need to be pressed to re-start cycle." Seems to tie "water level...

TC5 Partial Fill "I tried filling the washer partially, canceling the cycle, and then restarting it. The washer continued to fill the tub up to the half load level." Yes, that's as I would expect. To add to what Glenn said above, I think you would need to wait for the agitation to start...

Nowdays not so much, unless you can name the specific machines produced for homeowners today that you would consider true commercial quality other than SQ. Miele? Do they even claim to be commercial quality? It would come closer than the junk produced by Whirlpool today, I would guess (though I...

Johnny in reply 17 touched on the issue when he said "Other than the TR7, I believe all the rest of Speed Queen's residential machines use the same internals as their commercial and multi-home units." So it appears their sole focus may no longer be on commercial applications, and making some of...

There may not be much "magical" about modifying a commercial machine for home use, and I don't know of anyone saying there is. However today very few consumer machines could be said to be commercial quality. Speed Queen is in that the same basic machines are, or at least have been, used in...

The big draw of Speed Queen is that they make commercial machines for home use. I haven't been in a laundromat or such in decades and can't say what models and types of machines are now used, but I understand the "classic wash" TC5 is at least based on models that have been used in commercial...

"Regarding the Guaranteed Appliance comparison video. How does she get the water level so low in the TC5? " I think it's because the electronic controls don't work as people have come to expect with mechanical controls as I attempted to explain above. If so, there's no "tricking" to it. After...

TC5 Water Level PinkPower4, in regards to the low water level in the TC5 in the video, I haven't tried it, and would be interested if you have, but I think if you took some water out after the machine started agitating that it would not add more water back in. I think that's one way the...

Obviously Whirlpool bought Maytag and kept the name because they thought there was value in it. Whatever mistakes Maytag may have made has nothing to do with the trash Whirlpool is churning out now.

Thanks john, Now I see how the left wing pro labor Whirlpool management really saved the Maytag brand.

Maytag should be thankful that their name was destroyed? I think it would have been better to die an honorable death, just go out of business rather than sell your name to a company that is just going to abuse it for profit. But maybe Maytag trusted Whirlpool to uphold the values the name...

I think there's about as much chance of Maytag becoming a separate high quality manufacturer as there is of GE buying their appliance manufacturing back from the Chinese Haier company and making high quality US washers and dryers on their own. Though I may be confused as to how Maytag would...

I was hoping you'd get some experienced answers. I assume the flex vane must somehow add to the wash action; churns the water a little bit more towards the bottom when the agitator changes direction and swings back giving a little more pull. I also suspect that the difference may not be all...

Seal surface to the drive shaft That sounds reasonable. That would be where the seal wears and the quality is the most critical I would assume. So I wonder how many lips a standard washer has, one, two or three. Still suspect it's no better than the one on the 2012 washer and earlier.

This is a picture I found on ebay that's supposed to be for a MVWP575. Looks more like three to me. Sounds like the new Whirlpool strategy; cheapen the parts and then brag about them. After all, I fell for the "triple-lip seal" marketing hype thinking it was some great thing until someone...

Another interesting thing is that the commercial commercial machine (MAT20) doesn't have the dual action agitator, which saves a little in maintenance I assume. Actually things like "quadgear transmission" or "triple-lip seal" can sound more impressive to those who don't know what they mean...

MAT20PD vs. MWVP575G I wonder what differences there are between the MAT20PD WASH is contracting out to the MWVP575G sold to individual consumers? I notice in the brochure linked above at the "wash" site that the capacity claims 3.27 cu ft capacity vs. 3.5 claimed for the 575, don't know how...

The specs appear to be the same as in this brochure for the commercial washers, https://p.widencdn.net/98uec9/DL_AC19-0166_Brochure_SmallChassis_en-US : 13.68 gallons or 51.8 liters, per cycle. So I guess about half that for wash for rinse. That's "average usage", so I don't know how much it...
