Maytag Laundry brochure

[norgechef]

Not that anybody cares about most of these washers as most of you like to say Maytag Atlantis washers and such were the reason Maytag was closed but for those of you who like Maytag Neptune washers you may like this brochure. I found these on web archives and just thought i should share them. The first few are from the the 2005 Maytag Laundry brochure and the rest are from the 2006 Maytag Laundry Brochures. Let me start by saying this is going to be a LONG post as these are the complete laundry brochures for Maytag Laundry in 2005 and 2006. I also have to apologize for the sizing, some of it may not be readable but it would not have fit if the size was any larger.

Just to say, as I understand ... the 9700 and 8700 Neptunes were sourced from Samsung, not the same as the "original" MAH3000, 4000, 5500, 6500, and 7500.

2006

Neptune Front Load laundry (top load Neptune must have been eliminated by this time as there was no section for Neptune top loaders on the 2006 brochure)

I have an FAV6800.

The showering detergent dispenser perhaps doesn't "disperse" the detergent "throughout the load" as well as touted.  A queen-size comforter suffered burn-spots from damp powdered detergent caught in the folds that didn't flush out and dissolve promptly.

The softener dispenser quickly accumulates residue from thick liquids.

The wash action perhaps isn't as gentle as claimed.  I was surprised to note the amount of lint residue in the drained wash water from a load of jeans.  On the flip-side, small loads and large loads of light-weight fabrics don't tumble very well, if at all.  I once ran a load of 21 typical synthetic- and cotton-blend oxford button-down shirts and watched the load not roll over even once during the entire wash period.  I restarted the cycle and manually assisted it to roll over on the 2nd run.

Honestly...

As soon as the powerfin went white, I kinda lost interest.

And I don't think it was any one particular design that brought Maytag down.

wow my mom at her summer cottage has mah9700 washer its a great washer with the matching dryer

 

[super32]

so many memories

That iron was a joke! At the time they had something like a 60 day satisfaction guarantee or your money back. I got my money back.

While many will knock the Herrin built washers, I kinda liked them. They were not the most reliable but they did clean well and being able to do a transmission in about 45min was a good thing. From a service stand point I loved working on them.

Many will say the laundry was their demise but there were other product categories that also had issues.

I still see the Samsung-built Neptune washers and dryers on CL now and then. Maytag did the service in the early days of Samsung breaking into the U.S. market, which IIRC, Whirlpool inherited from Maytag in the acquisition for a short time.

By this time, most of the bugs had been worked out of the original Neptune MAH front-loading washers and they proved themselves as worthy performers.

for any manufacturer, you can't blame the actual machine(s) for bringing a company down......

it falls on the Corporate bigwigs, whos decisions and poor product quality that is mostly at fault, and how they handle such faulty equiptment put out to the consumer....

it's a hit or mis game out there, quality control should be a top priority, but in many cases its just corporate greed, build machines at the cheapest price, with little remorse for customer loyalty in any product or service......all it takes is one bad apple to ruin a companies reputation....

as John L mentioned in another thread, no one gave Speed Queen a second thought until the direct drives were phased out.....There's not a lot of difference in a Raytheon built SQ versus an Alliance built one.....outside of the seal issue, and changing the pump to motor mounted.....most of everything else remained the same...Alliance did not build a whole new machine totally different from Raytheons version.....

one good thing, Alliance at least did take a faulty prone washer, and turn it into one of the top machines to buy, that doesn't happen all too often...
