This thread has intrigued me. The new commercial Maytag has many similarities to my Maytag MVWC415EW 3.6 cu ft. TL. I’ve noticed that many are disappointed that there is no water level control or water sensing on this machine to allow for smaller loads. As another member pointed out, this may be due to the fact that its commerical and meant for laundromats., which makes sense.
On my Maytag, using the Deep Water cycle, it will fill to the top if the load is a full load, but otherwise it senses the loads size and fills to a level that covers the load with at least a few inches of water. I primarily use the Deep Water and Powerwash cycles. They both fill with tap hot water, but the Powerwash cycle fills slightly less than the Deep Water cycle. There is a brief spray rinse on both of these cycles before the deep fill rinse.
I have only used the Normal cycle a few times, but it also seemed to do a fine job of cleaning. In my mind these washers strike a happy medium between the excessive water that a traditional TL requires and the inadequate amount that many of the newer FL’s use. My machine is just 2 weeks shy of a year old and I’ve experienced no problems during this year.
From the many comments that I’ve read on this thread I really think that many of you would be very happy with this machine, or one of the other new Maytag/Whirlpool TL’s.
I don’t know how to film a video, and I haven’t monkeyed around with the lid lock so I can watch it in action. But when I’ve lifted the lid during wash and rinse cycles I’ve always found the water level to be covering the load and at a hot enough temp. I almost always wash on hot, heavy soil level and each load is finished in about 55-60 mins. And this machine NEVER unbalances, which is a rarity these days. I really enjoy laundry day with this machine.
BTW, out of 6552 reviews, 86% recommend this machine.
Sometimes new technology can actually be good.
