    Shopping for Mom

    Speed Queen TC5 I like my Maytag mvwp575gw, but it runs almost the same price as the SQ TC5 now. Keep in mind the TC5 was not available when I needed a washer, and the AWN432 were sold out. I would buy the TC5 if I needed a top load washer right now. It is my overall first choice and still...

    Metal transmission? Re: link in reply #5. Is it a real transmission or a gearcase?

    LG Front Load Washer

    Netgear Smart Connect I have been following this discussion with great interest as I would lean toward LG if I were choosing a front load. I would consider the SQ FF7, but the cost difference is more of an issue (than MT mwwp575gw vs TC5000) here plus I really did like my old LG's sani-cycle...

    Shopping for Mom

    SueDenim :-) I understand about respecting your Mom's choice. The only reason I posted is I was surprised my Lowe's is charging $150 more for the same washer with only a 1-yr. warranty. The only difference is they label it with a different model number mvwp576kw instead of mvwp575gw. This is...

    Shopping for Mom

    GE GTW465ASNWW May I ask what this will cost at Costco? Has she seen the videos of this vs the SQ TC5 or Maytag mvwp575gw? Price seems to be a main factor here. I have owned and used the Maytag mvwp575gw for over three years now with no issues. For what it's worth, the Maytag mvwp575gw is...

    added a maytag MVWP576KW ‘commercial’ top loader to our large family laundry setup

    I have this washer... I use a Panda spin dryer (or you can get a Ninja spin dryer). Not only does it remove extra moisture from clothes and allow them to dry faster, but it also removes some of the detergent that may still be in the clothes. It saves on our electric bill too. It does require...

    Shopping for new washer

    Maytag Deep Water Cycles Clarification... All Maytag Deep Water Cycles have a full tub wash and a full tub rinse. Hot is tap hot. Side note: Each of these cycle's wash actions work as expected. The delicates cycle has the shortest agitation time, so I always do a presoak with it.

    Shopping for new washer

    Fix your Kitchen Aid set if possible, but... If you want a new washer closest to what you have, I'd go with the Speed Queen TC5 (be sure to get the newest model that includes the five year parts and labor warranty included in the price) or Maytag mvwp575gw (get THIS model--it has the five year...

    Safest brand stackable Washer/dryer to buy

    Speed Queen vs LG vs ??? My experience I am not a fan of stackables that are a unit. If ones goes out and is non-repairable, then you must replace both the washer and dryer at the same time. The Speed Queen may be a better unit, but the bearings will eventually go out on that washer. More...

    The return of top loaders?

    Speed Queen TC5 and Maytag mvwp575gw Water Level Hope the next models of the two washers will include the water level feature. Maytag should go back to the tried and true models everyone liked instead of the vmw and hung suspension.

    new maytag washer in action

    Washer Feature I looked up what I think is this model on YouTube. The bottom of the washer has a design (like my Maytag mvwp575gw) that keeps coins from going under the agitator. A couple of coins have escaped pocket checks, and I have found them in upright in the narrow slot between the...

    its official will be going with replacement

    Pierreandreply4 I don't post much, but I will be looking forward to reading your review on the set you chose. What's important is that you had good information to research to find works best for YOUR family's needs. That is why it is great there is a good selection to choose from. Those...

    its official will be going with replacement

    combos52 Your comment is rude and unhelpful. Pierreandreply4 expressed a clear preference in going with a Maytag AND a top load, so the mvwp575gw is worth looking at for the wash action even over the final set chosen. It fits the description of simple controls (even the most simple designs...

    its official will be going with replacement

    I almost bought set shown in 1 but went w/ Maytag Commercial That washer looked like my old Whirlpool model I had in the 90s with its mechanical looking control and center post, BUT it is NOT. It may very well have auto temperature control where hot is not really hot too. Fortunately, I came...

    Speed Queen, no fill, error code

    Cost of repair? I am curious to see what it will cost to repair this.

    would love to have advice from speed queen expert to convince my mom to switch to speed queen

    Mind Boggling Fact I think I paid $650 for a PAIR of what would be one of the best Whirlpool model washers and dryers made in the 90s. I paid more than that for just the Maytag mvwp575gw I have now, and I'll be lucky if it last half as long. Yes, wages have went up but not in proportion to...

    would love to have advice from speed queen expert to convince my mom to switch to speed queen

    Pierreandreply4 I wish SQ still sold that model. I was hopeful they would bring back the AWN432 after the TR series initial launch failure, but SQ didn't. I'm just not sold on the new version of the old classics whether we are talking about SQ or Maytag. I'm pretty sure I will buy at least...

    would love to have advice from speed queen expert to convince my mom to switch to speed queen

    I have owned the Maytag mvwp575gw for almost 3 years now, and it is not garbage. Personally, I wish I could still buy the old Maytag that has the dual action agitator and the transmission, but I can’t. I don’t have someone like Kirk or Eugene around me that I know can rebuild the older ones...

    would love to have advice from speed queen expert to convince my mom to switch to speed queen

    I would recommend the SQ TC5 over TR series I would watch videos specifically from Lorain Furniture and Kirk Rivas. There are some other good videos too, but these two do reviews on several brands of washers. Both SQ top loads will wash office wear and slightly soiled clothes well. However...

    aw members toughs on this

    I have owned both an LG Front Load and THIS Maytag mvwp575gw Both machines (LG front load and Maytag mvwp575gw) I owned would be considered good overall choices. I personally think this person did a good review and made some important points. Some of it is personal preference between the two...
