The Maytag's a helical drive 1984 model.
Two belts underneath the base - main one, and a pump belt.

What did you think of their design versus GE and Whirlpool? Who's design do you think was way ahead of their time?

Well, that old Maytag is still running flawlessly after all these decades, no problems at all.
The DD Kenmore is also a tough one, so from a reliability stand, I'd say both machines would outlast me.
Ge's stuff seems to have trans issues and leaks.

I've heard the filter-flo platform was outdated and then they went to the model T. from a design standpoint, who's was the most advanced technologically in your opinion?

I'm not an expert on the technology aspect, basically I'm more interested in reliability and performance.

What about from a performance standpoint? Who's was the most advanced?

I've only been exposed to the orbital ones.
