new square window Maytags

[laundromat]

I just went to Sears.com and saw that Maytag has some new models out with the square doors/windows!!! I am just so glad to see anything other than the round or triangular windows on washers and dryers.I wonder if Electrolux and Samsung are going to jump on the band wagon???

I just had some sales training on these. They look really nice. The washer will be 5.o cuft & have 1400rpm final spin.

These look good. I wonder what the powerwash cycle does? I noticed it said "thorough rinse"......And what is up with that tinting a quarter way up the door? These aren't even on Maytag's own website, yet they are for sale at Sears? How strange!

They claim these will be perfect for the 2nd floor installations. There will be 2 balance rings on the tub both filled with about 52 ball bearings to help in those out of balance situations and to keep the tub from going all over the place. I didn't notice the tinting on the display units I saw. I wonder if that is just on the pictures or if I was just brain dead and waiting to leave the class.

PowerWash

Mark, it's pretty much the equivalent of the heavy duty cycle on your Whirlpool. It's also pretty much the equivalent of the stain ttreat option being added to your whites, normal/casual, and sanitize cycles, if you do have a stain treat option button. The process is it starts with warm water and gradually heats the water to 130 degrees to take care of various types of protein and other tains without pretreating. Used this feature on the WP at the 2002 convention and it's fantastic. thorough Rinse is probably nothing more than the extra rinse/skin care rinse from the old Kenmore HE series before they lest Whirly. essentially these Maytags have the old Kenmore He feature set in new language/terms.

OK

I wasn't sure. I was thrown by the "deep rinse". Thanks
