Other than this photo, I haven't seen anything about the Maytag power spray feature. Does anyone have information about it? Is this Whirlpool's first recirculating pump system?

More than likely, not their first. The original Whirlpool/Kenmore washer dryer combination units and the commercial dry cleaning units they made for laundromats had a great recirculating spray.I grew up with a Lady Kenmore combo (gas version)and it had a recirculating spray that would recirculate the water through the dispenser bowl for the detergent and a wash filter at its base.It was a wide,strong spray similar a bit to the GE filter Flo.It (on the Kenmores) was on the right hand side of the rubber boot and sprayed directly into the rear of the wash drum.

I remember the one on the combination washer dryers that Whirlpool made were extremely helpful in getting the load real clean and thoroughly rinsed.ours had a concentrated "Super wash' that would begin using less water which would concentrate the detergent (Dash) and then,more water would come in to continue the normal 12 minute wash.I would take my gym outfit home every Friday and it was so clean that my fellow students would pay me $2 to take theirs and have it washed in our combo!! The phys ed teacher thought I had a scam going and stopped us from doing it after seeing me get $20 from 10 guys together.Oh how I miss that great unit.I see no justifiable reason for the current manufacturers to not have these come back in to production.especially since those who made the original ones are,in most cases today, now merged together, and could make a fantastic, efficient, well constructed combo.
Joe, where did you see this picture? Also, is there any type of text descriptio0n associated with the product? which washer is it? I came across something last night which informed me the new Maxima uses as little as 11 gallons for a full wash cycle. that got me to pondering and wondering if WP had decided to put in some sort of rcirculating spray like Frigidaire did with their latest model that frigilux got last fall.

Recirculating Spray
If that picture is a recirculating spray, I hope they have something in the water path to filter lint from the system. Otherwise, I see potential for quite a few service calls. Plus, I hope they have made advancements in the water pumps quiet factor. Noisey pumps are unacceptable in these expensive machines.

So, Whirlpool is now also selling their LCD washers under the Maytag name. That's the 9000 Series.

Malcolm, the washer has a tub light that will stay on for 5 minutes. It appears to be aa decent brightness. I like the potential for these machines.

Alexander, teh 9000 series isn't on the Maytag web site yet, as of 7 days ago. They have the 6000 & 7000 series Maxima models thought. wonder if there will be an 8000 seies. this 9000 series corresponds to the TOL WP version.
top on top of the washer & dryer
Would someone explain to me the purpose of this top which fits over the top of the washer and ryer, kind of like a red painted counter top and sloping metal front part.

Tub light...
Actually, if one turns on the light once the cycle has started, it stays on until the cycle finishes. It's pretty awesome!
Lowes is sending us a replacement machine (same one) and it should arrive on Monday.

Ohh, thanks jamie. At least someone listened to us around here so we have a light that stys on through the whole cyccle lol. I hope the replacement solves all the issues too. These do appear to be really good machines.

Press and Hold for 3 Seconds
Under the column of buttons on the right it says to press and hold for three seconds but doesn't indicate what each button does. Usually, the press and hold is for a secondary button option.

That is true, I've noticed LG likes to multi-layer stuff on their panels. O the model dispalyed above, there's a setting called specialty cycles. According to the user manual of the comparable WP manual, there are numerous other special cycles that you scroll through with the right & left errors on the panel to see what they are.

I found this pic in the Whirlpool digital library.
Click the link, then click on Laundry on the bottom left. Currently, it is the first picture listed. There are also some coin laundry machines I hadn't seen before.
