[COLOR=#3366ff; font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 12pt]Good Afternoon,[/COLOR]

 

[COLOR=#3366ff; font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 12pt]I just purchase a used Maytag MTW5800TW top load washing machine with the stainless steel wash basket.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#3366ff; font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 12pt]Does anyone out there in AutomaticWasher land have any thoughts on this machine.  It seems to be old school, which I wanted, without the locking lid, water saving nonsense, and automatic water level.  I tell the machine what I want and it does it.  The washer appears to be well built and solid.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#3366ff; font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 12pt]After it is delivered and installed, I will post a video.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#3366ff; font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 12pt]I was going after a used Speed Queen that "Laundress" found for me, but the guy sold it before I even got to chance to inspect in person.  It was local too! [/COLOR]

[COLOR=#3366ff; font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 12pt]Oh well, hopefully the Maytag will be a good second choice.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#3366ff; font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 12pt]I did want a new Speed Queen, but it was not in the budget.  The Maytag was $150.00 plus delivery and install.[/COLOR]

 

[COLOR=#3366ff; font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 12pt]Best wishes to all,[/COLOR]

You got what you wanted.  Whirlpool direct drive washer.

But it does have automatic temperature controlled wash temp and cold water rinse only. That's a 2007 model.

Maytag MTW5800

<span style="font-family: verdana, geneva; color: #3366ff;">It does have an automatic temperature control on the warm temperature.  Other than that, I control everything else.  As I never use hot water, only warm or cold, the automatic temperature control is a nonissue for me.</span>

 

<span style="font-family: verdana, geneva; color: #3366ff;">I realize that this is basically a Whirlpool direct drive machine.  Not a problem.  I had a 1990 Whirlpool Imperial with a 3 speed motor.  It was the absolute best washer I have ever owned.  Wish they still made them like that.  Unfortunately, I sold it with my condo and have regretted that decision ever since.  </span>

 

<span style="font-family: verdana, geneva; color: #3366ff;">Here's hoping I have good luck with this Maytag.</span>

 

<span style="font-family: verdana, geneva; color: #3366ff;">Stay well and Happy Sunday to all,</span>

The cool and hot settings are also temperature controlled.
