Powerful with an outstanding interface!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My previous washer was a Maytag, and I was very satisfied with it, but with growing kids that produce a significantly larger amount of dirty laundry, I wanted to upgrade the size of the loads I could do. Fortunately the Maytag Top Load Washer with Extra Power - 4.5 cu. Ft. fits that bill exactly, allowing me to stay with a brand that has earned my trust.
The washer came in pristine condition, well boxed and safe. It wasn’t significantly larger than my previous model, so fitting it into my space wasn’t an issue. My husband installed the hoses, and the drain tube (included), and after plugging it in it was ready to go.
The washer is well balanced, and while not quiet when in use, it isn’t loud, or at least no more than I expected. The washer is simple to operate, with the knob options labeled and intuitively described. The wash cycle does seem to be faster than my old washer, but this is more a sense, as I never timed my previous machine. The knobs turn easily and responsively, making small clicks at each option setting, which makes it feel high tech, and I derive a surprising amount of joy at this!
My previous washer also didn’t have the center agitator, and I was worried that that would make this one seem smaller…but not so. It seems larger, and with the center agitator I feel like my clothes get cleaner and less tangled.
The size is great, and it handles my bath rugs and large quilts without a problem, and without throwing it out of balance. So far I’ve been using the auto fill setting and it seems to be judging loads appropriately.
My favorite feature (and I didn’t know about it before the Maytag arrived, and it was such a pleasant surprise) is the water faucet, which is fantastic for pre-treating stains. I absolutely love this, and makes the upgrade from my old washer well worth it.
The thing I worry most about this washer is turning it on. After you turn the knobs to your desired settings, you have to press and hold the start/pause button until all the lights illuminate, and then let go and it turns on. I worry that the sensor under the button could stop working over time. It’s a bit finicky to find just where to press. Still, this may be something I just need to get used to, and Maytag hasn’t let me down in the past, so I’ll certainly give them the benefit of the doubt.
I really love this machine, and definitely recommend!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Cleans well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After several loads of laundry, I can declare that I love this washing machine. Cleans clothes very well with a variety of features. The settings are intuitive and cover all the uses we can throw at it. It's easy to operate, and I have used almost all of the different cycles with no issues. It has a built-in water faucet that rinses, spot treats or soaks clothes in the washer itself. Love the multiple wash, spin, rinse, and temperature options. The auto-sensing feature is awesome, which adjusts the water level for each load and provides effective cleaning. It spins the clothes out to almost dry. The clothes smell and feel a lot cleaner each time. Loading clothes is very convenient and running time is reasonable in relation to the amount of clothes. The washer is huge inside and looks great with our matching dryer. It is noisy at times, which is the only downside at this time but we don’t notice it much if the laundry room door is closed. Overall I'm very satisfied with all the features and performance of this washer.

LOUD
on December 1, 2022
Posted by: acgdlov

This is the LOUDEST washer I have ever used. It is so loud it vibrates my floor in the next room. Unfortunately, our laundry area is right by the bedroom. My son with sensory issues flipped out when it started to run and cannot tolerate the sound. YES. It is that loud. It looks good. The lid is very flimsy. But my goodness what in the world was the product designer thinking? What parts were removed that could control sound so they could reduce cost? Seriously. Even the delivery driver who did a test cycle looked at me concerned saying "Wow, that's loud." Right now it is in the spin cycle and it sounds like a jackhammer. I hope I can return this thing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

NICE AND CLEAN!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you are looking for a budget friendly, no nonsense top load washer that will get all your clothes nice and clean, then look no further. The Maytag Top load 4.5 cubic feet washer is easy on the wallet and but tough on your stains. The washer has a built-in faucet to help with the pre-rinsing and a deep fill and extra power mode to help fight off the tough stains. The extra power mode activates a rigorous prewash and a regular cycle to get the tough stains out. We had been looking to replace our washer and dryer and we decided to give this a try. Honestly, this is a no-frills washer is that made to get the job done. Our clothes come out clean and we know that this product is built to last backed by Maytag 10-year limited warranty.

Top Load Washer with extra power.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was surprised that the washer had a lock feature for the lid. Once I used the extra power I figured it out. Whew this machine is powerful. I also found that the clothes come out so dry. The spin cycle is quiet but powerful.

Clean but not flexible
on October 27, 2022
Posted by: ShellyMN
from Minneapolis
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had my new washing machine for about three weeks. It does a fine job getting the clothes clean but really seems over complicated. Way too many useless settings regarding the type of clothing. Having the lid lock as a safety feature just complicates things when you want to add another few items to a load that you started a few minutes ago. The auto sensor for water level definitely saves water but you can hardly even see any water in the tub after it is finished filling. I think it’s a bit too frugal on the water. Time will tell if I end up really liking this machine or not. Right now, I’m a bit skeptical but willing to be proven wrong over the long run.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not what I expected...

from East Providence, RI
Bought this washer and it died after one load. Almost couldn't get it replaced, but did. Drain hose is too close to the floor. I couldn't use the supplied hose because my drain inlet is about halfway up my basement wall. Aftermarket hoses rub on the concrete basement floor and end up wearing a hole in them, went through 2 already, have to make sure it's not long enough to rub/sag. No end of cycle alarm, have to guess when it's done. No dedicated detergent port, never know how much to use. No guide to show how much fabric softener/water mix to use.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I do not like the door lock because I cannot see how much water is in the tub.
Your instruction manual is very poor.
My last May tag was by far easier to operate.
My mistake was buying sight un seen .
