I love the simplicity of the controls on this washer. They are just right for the type of loads I do. Powerwash, Delicates, MIxed, and Bulky work just like I would expect them to.
As stated earlier, Normal Eco works great for all types of loads except Delicates (wash action is too rough) for small and quick washes. The only real quirk is I have to find a way to add hot for the loads of small whites I do. Maybe I should look more into Tide designed for cold water washers for that??? One thing I forgot to mention is that if you use any options with the Normal cycle like a presoak or extra rinse, it turns it into a regular cycle. What I mean by that is you will get a deep water fill. If you chose extra rinse, you will get TWO deep water fills. Hot will be a true hot too.
I love that I can wash any load even with a presoak in under an hour, and that there is plenty of water. My college kids literally bring home a car load of laundry at times.
This washer fills the tub by alternating between hot and cold. When I have selected hot, the main cycles use tap hot for the entire fill. I can get a very warm by turning the temperature to hot for the first part of the fill and then using warm for the remainder of the fill. When I need “warm”, warm as is works fine.
If you ever need to service under the control panel, it requires removing just two screws. Most other service parts can be accessed under the washer or by removing the front panel. One of my kids left a chain in one of their pockets one time that made its way through the hole in the bottom and was headed toward the pump. I am an extra small adult. I just propped the washer up, slid under it, and was able to disconnect the portion between under the tub and pump to retrieve the item very quickly. Seriously, the hardest part of that repair is that I am getting older and that I my eyesight isn’t what it needs to be. The kids have left a few coins that managed to escape my checks. So far, they remain in the tub instead of going under the agitator bottom, so I have been able to retrieve them without taking anything apart.
I have been very happy with the performance of this washer. Our clothes look and smell clean. As a side note, I had an LG front load before this. It works well for small items, but dirt actually came out of a comforter I had washed on a regular basis in the front load when I first washed it in the Maytag—I mean the water was brown! Front loads just don’t seem to work as well for bulky items because they cannot work them down, in, and through the water as well. For that reason and because of ease or repairs, I don’t think I will go back to a front load (even though I had a good experience and that one lasted ten years before the bearings went out). I am still using my old LG dryer that is probably 12 years old now. The old front load I had was supposed to spin as fast as 1200 rpm. I haven’t noticed a significant increase in dry time even though this Maytag washer is only supposed to spin at 700 rpm. The loads I have washed have all dried in under an hour when set on the appropriate setting. My sensors no longer work, so I have to use “timed” setting. I later bought a Panda spin dryer (Look at Laundry Alternatives Nina soft dryer too). Love it so far. Had reduced dry time for most cycles to just twenty minutes and 30 for the heavier fabrics. I also notice a decrease in my electric bill
I am so thankful I came across the reviews I mentioned in a previous post. I looked at the wash action for the washer I was going to get and this one, this ONE is so much better.
I hope it works as well for your situation as it has mine.
