I was looking at the new top load Maytags and was shocked to see the inside tub is like the Whirlpool and Kenmore washers. They are narrow and deep. Whereas the old Maytags had a wider tub. My question: When the new Maytags drain, do they drain the water as it spins, or are they like the Whirlpools that drain then spin?

Yep....
They are Whirlpools through and through. Personally, I don't see the point in owning a Maytag anymore; if you want that design, why not just buy an Estate, Roper, or Inglis and save yourself a couple hundred dollars? They're all the same now. :-(

Ya, I had heard a few things about Whirlpool buying out Maytag so is it true? I hope so because Maytag has or had become some sorry pieces of junk to the point that my local Maytag dealer hated the fact that he had a Maytag on his storefront window. But a few weeks ago I worked on a Crosley electric dryer that was built like a Kenmore/Whirlpool dryer. Wasn't Crosley a knockoff of a Maytag in itself? Someone enlighten me on this one. I should know but keep in mind that I'm pretty much a GE and Kenmore service man and I really don't lay around studying up on company sellouts and mergers.
It's pretty much "one big Happy(?)"
now.
Or almost Biblical
Whirlpool and Sears begat Kenmore.
Whirlpool bought Roper.
Whirlpool bought Estate.
Canadian Whirlpool for many years was called Inglis. Inglis is a bargan Whirlpool line at Best Buy now.
Whirlpool bought KitchenAid from Hobart. (back around 1980).
And just recently, Whirlpool did buy Maytag.
Maytag washers had declined in quality. I think my 1997 LAT9806 was one of the last really good Maytag washers.
This is a very familiar, and somewhat touchy, subject here.
When I think about what happened with Maytag, it makes me sad and sick. No, not the Whirlpool buyout, though that is distressing. I mean the cheapening of build quality, the rush of not-throughly-tested products to the market...Neptune laundry, and Accellis cooking to name but two. And then, the less said about the Hoover USA fiasco, the better.
Of course, this is just my opinion, and your milage may vary.

I agree about the sadness with Maytag. I sure loved and still love the old school maytags with the pushbutton controls on the console. Simple...yet pure as Northpole snow. Easy belt replcement, gosh come to think of it, easy replacement of almost everything.
