Gotcha!

Chemical pollution and water usage are two very different things. What does one have to do with the other? China can pollute all they want I guess.

Chemical pollution and water usage are two very different things. What does one have to do with the other?

Since when do dryers cost as much or more than a washer ? Crazy. Been seeing this trend since the introduction of the cabrios. I have doubts though that this Maytag will influence the rest of the Whirlpool line of washers. It's only one model for the home---they need several models with...

Maybe i shouldn't ask...but here goes. How did Whirlpool get around the 2018 restrictions ? Just a rhetorical ---I don't need to know I'm just glad they did ! LOL

No wonder the cabinet had to be heavier ! 😛

I think it does Eddie. There are two videos of the normal cycle with this machine and the water levels are clearly different. Here's one: The other:

I know. The tub will vibrate spinning but you don't feel it through the cabinet. My washer is in a basement so it's on concrete. No problems.

This machine doesn't appear to have a way to correct an unbalanced load. It just goes into spin banging off the cabinet a few times and just goes for it. This is the first washer on the VMW platform I have seen that doesn't stop and fill with water and redistribute the load. That's good. I...

Good answer. I agree. However I do think that this Maytag's wash action makes speed queen claim to fame with their 210 degree agitation stroke rather redundant now. Having a speed queen almost 5 years now.. and don't get me wrong I like the nostalgia factor of the machine and it's wash action...

Thanks WK78. I didn't get a chance to see the Maytag matching dryer when I visited the appliance store Friday . Pretty nice. If I didn't have the Speed Queen and I was looking for a washer this would be on my very short list. I honestly think the wash action is even better than a speed...

She must have been pretty strong to be holding that porcelain coated steel wash tub the way she was. I would imagine they would have been fairly heavy.

Guys is it me or does the porcelain coated wash baskets in the Amana washers and Whirlpools seem smaller than the super capacity direct drives? Yet they claim more capacity that the DD washers which were 3.0-3.2 cf.? They look smaller and narrower like the early DD washer baskets. I'm getting...

There is something to be said for the simplicity of this machine. Even if the machine is lighter weight.. BUT made with quality materials and craftsmanship that shouldn't really matter. As chetlaham said, beefing up the components they already have would be a smart move for them. Whirlpool had...

Just commented on that board. I was wondering why on the last rinse the washer agitated at full power? That was the delicate cycle. This is definitely a worthy contender to Speed Queen. Kirk said in another comment that Maytag was getting their ducks lined up for 2018.Got to ask him what he...

Your welcome Barry. Just wanted to contribute and give a shout out to Kirk Rivas for filming all of these washer videos he is doing! Thank you Kirk! I don't know if this model has the porcelain top and lid but if it does that to me already puts it ahead of Speed Queen. I wonder if this washer...

I think the year said 1956 on this ad. Unless there was a more deluxe version of the Imperial... I thought the 56 Imperias looked like the ones turquoisdude has in Canada? This looks like maybe a 1955 machine? In any case these were some of the best looking Whirlpool's ever made IMO. For me...

Last one for tonight. It does use a lot less water on this load.

I said it once and I'll say it again. My Maytag Bravos I had nearly 5 years ago got my white socks clean like no other washer I ever had or used. The difference was noticeable. That low water and the impeller made like a scrub board effect. This thing about heavy linting with an HE top loader...

Another Jersey guy! What's up? To answer your question, yes the agitator is bolted to the tub and move as one unit. I guess we will we see in the new year or when and if Speed Queen does promo videos of this new machine. Between the new Maytag and Speed Queen it is going to be an interesting new...
