Keep it simple, stupid. With Maytag.

Here’s a glimpse of the new Maytag washer and dryer. Sleek design but stupid options.

1) Cycles such as Whites and Heavy Duty became eliminated, though there is still PowerWash. Can’t seem to find anything for wool or hand washing, either – just Delicates.
2) There is not Hot temperature setting! Just Cold, Warm and Extra Hot. I hope the Steam for Stains provides some kind of hot temperature.
3) Same with the spin speed: either no spin, medium or full throttle.

The dryer offers only low or high temp – or cold air.

For such sleek machines, I find the range of option rather frustrating. These seem to be the TOL units.

Alex, are these for the U.S. market for German market?  Is there an online user manual available yet?  I think there might be more options inbetween the words you see.  Maybe for hot, warm & extra hot lights come on together.  Am curious what a user manual says.

i can say for someone like me that wash mostly in cold water i would say that this is the perfect machine but to soon to say

Oh no, washers (or appliances in general) that don't fit the 24-inch norm are a very hard sale over here! These are for the US. I have the pictures from WP's digital library. Couln't find the manuals online.

Models are

MHW 6000, 7000 and 8000AG (for gray or W for white)

Interesting approach to handles. Has Whirlpool finally brought back a reversible door front loader to the Maytag line-up?

Light

1. No program progress lights.
2. No drum light override button on the washer.

Don't think the washer door is reversible. The design of the doors looks very Vantage-esque.
