yeah, I admit it, I seem to have a bit obsessive liking for the Neptunes, all I can say, is they are reliable, even when I get some abused ones in, a little care and cleaning, and they run top dollar, with up to ten kids at a time, mine get a workout....
with only a solenoid replacement in one dryer, and cleaning screens of the water valves, outside of bearing replacements, these haven't cost me a cent....
people talk about capacity, I have two king size beds, and will wash the comforter, sheets and pillow cases in one load, how much bigger does someone need?....
as far as the Maytag DC, with a little adaptation of washing techniques, and slight under loading, you will get great results, and a machine to last a lifetime...
to the DirectDrive versions....yeah, they get a bad rap for Shredding clothing, but this is a wash, for everyone who complains, there is one who has never had an issue, I am one of them....and I use the larger KA agitator at full speed!...how many thousand DD machines built and sold, they can't be wrong!....
with anything, you have to account for user error....
plus I just added two more Neptune washers to the collection....
