Maytag Machines After Whirlpool Buyout - What Remained?

The term would be timeless classic. Once something is so evolved it becomes perfected. The passage of time does not make it obsolete or outdated.

Exactly! What do people not understand!

That what people are told is progress isn't always progress.

You will never see such high tech stupid crap in an apartment complex at all. Gee. I wonder why?

Sadly, its inching its way there too. Sadly. I miss those old 48 step 7.5 degree increment timers.

At least the Whirlpool commercial and the Maytag counterparts move the water. Have you seen videos of lg washers trying to do a normal cycle in their front loaders? I've heard the pump on these cavitating. Give me an old school whirlpool/maytag even if it's a direct drive.

<blockquote>WoodJack99: I want to say somewhere around the late 2000s/early 10s they were making some machines that looked like modern versions of the iconic late 60s/70s center-dial ones that became synonymous with the name "Maytag." Don't ask me the models, but they had gold trim like the machines of 75-80, the big main dial in the center once again, and instead of pushbuttons it was little dials for the settings.</blockquote> The 100th anniversary of Maytag laundry occured in 2007, after Whirlpool bought the brand/company.

Whirlpool produced at least a couple Maytag-branded "Centennial" models for that year with gold highlights on a white center-dial console and labeled "100th Year Anniversary Dependable Care" on the lower-right corner. There were other "Centennial" center-dial models that followed until VMW introduction, not labeled with the anniversary text. Several had stainless steel baskets. These are direct-drive with mechanical timers. There are no cycle progress lights, the timers are labeled for cycle sequences.
