Well....here's one of mine in action.....

Here's my LAT9800 with the long stroke transmission in it. It was remarked that i had 'possibly' overloaded this machine (which i reject mind you)

BUT...either way, it still has pretty good turnover in my humble opinion.

Maytag Performace and Built Quality?

In my hast I certainly did forget about the later blower wheel attachment on the 27" MT designed and built dryers, and they were a great improvement which is probably why I forgot about them as I have never had to replace one, In any case Sorry to mislead anyone. I have long said it was a shame that the MT stock holders did not give MT another year or so to correct more of its many problems as they certainly were making some real progress the last few years of operation.

 

My original comments in this thread right on the money and overall rather positive. In my original comments I was talking about the poor ability of the original Power-Fin agitator to turn over large loads of LARGE items, like KING sized sheets and loads of blue jeans, I know that it can turn over loads of much smaller queen sized sheets and and lots of smaller items.

 

We get many new people visiting this site every week and I will always continue to share my knowledge and experiences with all who want to read them. I have gotten no negative feed back and as usual many E Mails and a few phone messages of support about my opinions. And I certainly don't blame others from not commenting in these threads when some folks start spewing personal attacks so it is easy to see why more people like Scott usually just stay on the sidelines.

 

          The truth is often one of the more difficult things in life to express, John.
 
Well...

I cannot and will not speak for others, John, but I really do try to not make it personal. I don't want anyone here to think that just because I disagree with you and these conversations can get just a tad >heated< that I dont respect you and your experience. We all have strengths and weaknesses in various areas. What may be a strength area of expertise for you and a weakness area for me trades off when it's the other way around. Then we can share info and advice and be stronger for it. That's how it's supposed to work here and in life and what makes it great here except for when things get 'passionate'...

I will agree with a few things you said above. Maytag was just finally getting some things together near the end but unfortunately were just a little too slow to pull the trigger. You snooze, you lose. The business world is just simply unforgiving that way. Kinda like business 'Darwinism'. Pity. I will say that the latest gen Newton Neptunes were just starting to pull out of the tailspin of trouble prone issues before they had to shove Samsungs up the Neptune branding's rear and finish it off...

Also, I know there are people who appriciate your help and advice. Lord knows, I do. I have no issue with people like Scott expressing their opinions. Again, that's part of a serious discussion and is always welcome! BUT, we all here are guilty at times of getting too busy, heated, full of ourselves, whatever when typing a reply and not stopping to reread it and objectivly think it over with the hands OFF the keyboard before hitting 'post'. I do it, others do it. YOU do it. WE ALL DO IT!

John, I love ya. Really. I do respect you for a lot of things and I am happy calling you friend. Conversations like this one sometimes make it hard to remember it (again, for all of us...)but I do remember it. THAT BEING SAID, there are times I could reach thru the screen and B Slap you with a old Maytag drive belt... LOL! Just remember to temper your large amount of experience with a little more diplomacy and patience when sharing it with us. I try to...

I'm really enjoying this post.

A lot like watching a tennis match, one player fires one over the net and the other smashes it right back at him and so forth.
 
Thank God That's Over!

The white buttons on the 10 series were the biggest styling mistake Maytag ever made, IMHO.

They cheapened the appearance of the entire appliance. The change to the black buttons of the 12 series was an enormous improvement.
 
It's never over. NEVER!

LOL!

Actually, the white buttons were popular with my customers who were having issues with their vision. They could see the white buttons against the dark console face better than the dark ones.

Oh, you'll get no argument from me on that. I'm not sure why the white buttons were there. I could see them on the older MT's with the white consoles but they should have changed with the changeover to dark. They were that way pretty much across the line including the dishwashers. Remember, though, that you simply told the customers that the buttons were actually 'ivory' colored...
