Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Our Consumer Reports magazine rates it as the best top-loading machine; however, people have complained (and returned machines to dealers) because they tangle clothes brutally. My local Maytag dealer has sold three of them: one was returned after 2 weeks and another customer said she's sorry she bought it.

Someone who frequents this site has one and says the agitation impellers turn at the end of the cycle to 'fluff' the clothing before it is removed from the tub (much as a FL machine tumbles back and forth for a few minutes at the end of a cycle). He seemed to think this exacerbates the tangling problem. Hopefully Maytag engineers will come up with a solution for the problem.

I'm more interested in the new large-capacity Maytag frontloaders with the window in the door...
 
Why do you think its better than frontloaders? I doubt you've ever used one since your in the UK... There's been fairly bad press about these Neptune toploaders on THS and I think here aswell, one of the main reasons being that they're buggers for tangling. Give me my AEG or Miele anyday :-)

...see one working!

I just put my Maytag Neptune TL in the warehouse. When I have my wash-in, I will have the machine opened up so that we can all see how the machine opperates. Roanoke Robert and Gyrofoam were here a few weeks ago and we opened it up and watched. Very interesting machine. I am now using a solid tub Speed Queen that I LOVE!!!!! So nice to get back to a 30 minute wash cycle!!! .....and NO tangled clothes! Mark
 
The two disks turn round to create a tumblign motion during the wash. Spin is a vertical axis spin just like any other V-axis toploader.
