This was my favorite washing machine of all time, even better than the Whirlpool direct drives. They lasted at least 25 years if properly maintained, much longer than any new machine.
They also had great cleaning action. They cleaned well but weren’t as aggressive as direct drives. Maytag advertised them as the strongest machines ever and I definitely agree.
The reason why Maytag went down is because they’ve been making less dependable cafes and more Neptunes.
The main failure on the dependable care was the outer tub rusting out or the springs eventually going out.
Personally, even the Norgetags and Amanatags were okay but not nearly as good as the dependable care.
