Maytag *Anniversary* W&D Set

[launderess]

Well give them points for at least attempting to capture that retro look.

The lid needs a swift rap with a fist to pop it back to normal.

 

Isn't that stainless basket pretty?  Really dresses up the DD washer.

*Anniversary* of what....?

 

 

These are a lot newer than 1993 (Maytag was founded in 1893).  

 

Ooooh I see now, it's the <span style="font-size: 12pt;">anniversary of WHIRLPOOL as they were founded in 1911, so these must be 2011 vintage.</span>

 

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Interesting how they're reminiscent of early 60's Maytags.... sort of, if you stand back 20 feet and squint.</span> 

 

While the stainless tub is very nice..... a bunch of *bling* and a "Maytag" name slapped on a WP washer & dryer... does NOT a Maytag make.

COLD water washing only by this set......

the tinted drum from loads of jeans is a clear indicator......denim washed in warm/hot water will not transfer dyes to the dryer drum....

I wash a lot of denim, blue and black, and my dryer drums are still white....

but yeah, that stainless drum of the washer is a nice touch for the direct drive machines....but makes you wonder, why isn't the dryer stainless as well....

Whirlpool is fooling exactly no one with this smoke and mirrors charade. PGH Craigslist is littered with these machines in various states of disrepair and/or owners disgust.

I didn't notice the metal looking front kickplate until Greg posted the pic again.  Reminiscent of the 1957 LKs location on those cabinets.

Thank you Martin.  My previous 1986 LK dryer and the current 1992-1994 DC Maytag, the drum look pretty much unscathed with dye transfer.  I always thought it was because I just don't wash multiple loads of jeans each month. 

 

And with modern top loaders built in the last 10 years or so with Auto Temp Control dumbing down "warm" to a tepid pass for "warm" (75-80 degrees F), I'm not sure this "warm" is &#92enough to prevent dye transfer  And "cool" now days is what was ATC "cold" on my Lady Shredmore--60-65 degrees F--was.  Doubt 70-75 degrees F is warm enough to bread down and dissolve body oils and loosen dirt.  Yuck!!!
