This is my fav washer for being a new one. It does handle the towels like it should, although it was overloaded. Would love to have this washer. Thanks for the video.
This really reminds me of my Kenmore old-school washer I have at home. This turns the clothes over really well.
ditto that . . . Kenmore Series 90 (circa 2000) -> *the king* of washers/clothes turnover
Wow! I’m impressed!! I mean, you thought it would break but I was amazed that it was actually moving the towels!!! Amazing! I thought it wouldn’t move AT ALL!
You did the right thing Eugene that was too much of a strain on the motor and the agitator dogs glad you took out the other two towels the performance improved. This is a new “old school” washer that works great!
Even harder on the plastic gears of the Splutch. Didn't you hear it slipping?

I had a first gen. Whirlpool Cabrio machine with the central agitator (which never seemed to be offered in high numbers). It had a very similar washing action to this machine. Very effective and always got our clothes clean. It lasted about 13 years before we had to replace it.
Was it direct drive using an inverter DD motor? I know when Whirlpool took a 20% stake in Fisher & Paykel in New Zealand, WP started implementing the use of F&P SmartDrive motors when the original DD motor patent was still valid. It might have been a later Cabrio, my memory is sketchy lol
Anyway for some reason the deal went to sh!t, the New Zealand government refused to bail out F&P, and Haier became a 100% stakeholder.
As a NZ'er and an appliance fan the loss of a New Zealand icon was sad for me. At least Haier have allowed Fisher and Paykel in New Zealand to remain a somewhat seperate R&D entity rather than just rebadging original Haier product.
@@DeansWasherVideos It was definitely one of those F&P SmartDrive machines.Looks like that type of motor was essentially dropped just a couple years or so into production of the Cabrio. I was definitely a fan of it!
That reminds me of how people use the washers in the laundry room. They overload them and they break down.
Impressive!!! 10 bath towels!? He's a strong washer! Plus I just love that agitator. Reminds me of a Kenmore agitator.
KENMORE with model number starting with 106 or 110 ARE WHIRLPOOL as is MAYTAG. Sears doesn't build anything themselves. First three digits before decimal indicates manufacturer if KENMORE products.
I like this washer
Eugene, I just ordered this machine, based in large part on your informative and unbiased reviews. I also opted for the companion dryer. The new units will replace my 1975 Maytag washer and dryer. I am very grateful for your reviews of the 2018 Speed Queen. I had considered purchasing a SQ, until I saw the terrible washing action. I really appreciate your site.
What was wrong with the old Maytags?
Thank god for this channel I almost wasted over 2k on the 2018 model speed queen til I found this!!!
Do you still have this washer ?
great rollover
That spin cycle sure as heck took off!
I repair appliances. This Maytag is virtually identical mechanically to the less pricey AMANA tested in another video. Same motor, "Splutch" (whirlpool clutch mechanism that replaces a transmission) actuator and interchangable agitator. May tsh may have more or longer cycles achieved by a different control board and has a heavier cabinet.
It's identical also to the affordable Kenmore washer my family uses we replaced it once with the same model because the part that holds the suspension arm up broke on the old one so it would go off balance all the time but despite how cheap it is it still cleans better than most high priced he washers but if this one dies soon we're gonna try to find a old school DD washer
I have the Amana version of this. Good washer overall.
Virtually the same? Even though he states in the Amana review that although it looks similar it is completely different than the Maytag?
@@j.frankparnell3087 It’s built on the same VMW platform but really it has beefed up parts, motor, transmission etc. So this Maytag would last longer.
Great video Eugene, they looked like some pretty heavy towels??? I can do 8 bath towels, 8 hand towels, and 8 wash cloths in my Speed queen which are all medium weight towels but that's about it!!! all and all I think this machine did a good job though!!! Have a great weekend...
This would be the washer I would buy when and if the Miele 4842 dies. That's like a Bullet Proof Washer by today's standards. That is a Heavy Load and it just chugs away (the 8 towel load) Just wish it did NOT have the neutral drain : ( Amazing. Thank you for all your time in making and editing these.
I hope you can do some wash videos with the vintage Whirlpool Heavy Duty Direct Drive Washing Machine.
Thanks soo much and you still have it KEEP IT!!”
Edit: my direct drive would cry Transmission fluid but I would keep doing it sorry Maytag belt drives but I’m pert sure if you did this load in the 299 Amana the belt might snap but I’m not sure
Nope. Machines are mechanically identical - same parts. I repair them for a living
I been using persil 2 in 1 exclusively for almost 2 years. Speed Queen AWN542
Did you try laundersol?
FYI,put your soap in first so it can dissolve with agitation. Not floating on top, as it may not all ri se out.
Me granny puts the soap in first too.
Right? My dad used to do that
Correct!
Best washer
This machine does a great job cleaning (similar to the direct drive predecessor). The issue is that it still has cheap VMW parts and will likely be headed for the scrapyard after the mfg warranty runs out due to insane Whirlpool parts pricing and lack of durability of the parts. This machine is probably the best option for cleaning capability, but plan on replacing it after 5 years (with a few break downs during that time frame) in my opinion.
From my observation of looking at this machine and watching the videos I would have to agree with you.
You can buy identical parts at AMAZON for half the price. Plastic parts on the Whirlpool World machines are cheap now. I bought OEM agitator dogs for 98¢
I've noticed that in many reviews, the parts don't seem heavy duty and you can very clearly hear the motor/trans struggling a lot in this test.
i would agree, because i have this exact machine. After 1 year, nothing but problems. Trans/ motor replaced
took 6 weeks. Now 2 more parts to replace. Piece of Garbage.
Same Kenmore agitator just the base is much much much wider.
This is a nice machine. Could you do your work pants on a powerwash cycle with extra rinse?
8 of those big towels is good for any TL. I wouldn't try more even in a Direct Drive or a 26 gallon Lady K with DAA. 11 of that size is the max I will do in my SQ FL.
I really hope that you run into a Maytag Neptune TL in the near future. And pray that it works too!
No such thing as a Neptune top loader. Neptune was the FL washer that bankrupted MAYTAG as 9 years worth were recalled in a Federal class action lawsuit in 1997. MAYTAG is now a WHIRLPOOL brand since 1999. Atlantis was the high end top loader MAYTAG.
@@Jake-by9ly shut up just be quiet
This machine is incredible. It does what it was built for. Turn over is fantastic. One of the very few toploader I'll consider buying. I've said it before, the only thing this washer needs is a "Quick Wash" cycle that will do small loads. Maybe you can make a recommendation to the manufacturer about that. Thanks again Eugene. Another great video.
Some DO!
I have this and its a beast from hell. Went from a Consumer Reports "best" LG HE washer which took well over an hour to not clean the clothes to this heap which cleans like crazy in 30 minute cycles. Laundry day went from a 2 day process to an afternoon or 1 day at worst. Only downsides I see are it doesn't spin like hell as the modern HE washers do, so clothes are not as dry coming out and you really need to thin out the fabric softener (like they tell you to) as if you use it full strength, it won't spin out of the cup all the way and you might end up with a few blue softener drips on your clothes. Great video and PLEASE do the "ketchup test" with this!
Ron Schunck right
stay away from modern front loaders
@@fargeeks why?
@@melissacook5186 because they tumble a load through a tiny puddle of water
@@fargeeks Thanks. My PC Richards salesman said he likes the Maytag MHW6630HC; it's a front loader and has "Maytag commercial technology" whatever that means...
@@melissacook5186 I bought the Whirlpool equivalent model 6620 last June I will tell you this that it is a very good washer and it has a recirculation pump to thoroughly saturated the load.
Question.... why does this washer not fill-up all the way to the top of the stainless-steel tub? On older model washers, the little screw on the pressure-switch could be adjusted to increase the water fill amount.
This clearly shows how the lack of a tub break can cripple even the strongest agitation. Now, while I would not do 10 in a WP Direct drive it would not have choked like this did. The machine would have struggled a bit but still kept agitating because it could not transfer that motion to the drum.
But they don't build the direct drive anymore.
Maybe if it filled to the top row of holes or up to the bottom of the white ring it could have handled the 10 towels instead of the 3/4 fill like it did.
Easily the best modern top load washer with real wash action.
Why couldn't whirlpool make more models of these ?
Wonder what the sales figures on these machines have been like ? Whirlpool will probably give it the axe eventually.
it is 2022, we have had this exact washer since March 2019. it worked great for 1 year. Then the motor/ trans went out.
took 6 weeks to get fixed, due to the unavailability of parts. Then had to call 1 month later, have to have 2 more parts replaced, actuator, and
motor something. So we are waiting again. The repairman, was not familiar with the machine, so had to call tech on his phone.
Diagnose it. Jeez, I even had to supply a bit part to open the machine, because the repairman did not have that screwdriver bit.
He said to call Maytag and complain about how these machines DON'T hold up. What a cluster ------. Waiting 6 weeks is ridiculous, sending
a repairman that is NOT trained is another. Nice guy, but not trained sufficiently.
goodie
Actually, it was still turning over the load with the 10 beach towels in the load.
8 beach towels is better still for this machine.
But this is a Commercial Maytag.
If there’s any machine at all that could take 10 beach towels in an entire wash load, it would be this one (an old school Speed Queen aside).
Try this same wash load in an older pre 2018 Speed Queen and see won’t it get that load clean as well.
-Charles-
Our 2006 machine does 10 full sized bath towels pretty regularly and it can handle it, any direct drive can handle that.
I'm living proof of that!
So are those machines and 20 something videos.
That's exactly what I was referring to!
Hey Eugene. You could do a series. Call what can this washer handle? Test difference ones and see if they can handle 10 full size towels. If you do. Please start with the 2017 Speed Queen. Hope you see this comment and respond. Thanks
@@LorainFurnitureandAppliance Yeah man. That would make for true real world testing. What's the point of companies bragging about having a large compacity if it can't handle what they advertise?
It'd be the "will it blend" of the washer world ^_^
Let's see... 5 pairs of jeans, and 8 bath towels.
How about a Queen sized comforter... with the whole set of fitted sheets in one cycle?
Take comforters and pillows to the Univac machines at the laundromat. If you have a whole, the poly fill could wrap around the drain pump, destroying it.
I don't like speed queen I like the IGN model
My Beloved 1992 SQ clone Amana washer is slowly dying. Too bad it can't get serviced due to parts not available. Design was almost exactly like a SQ and I think they actually made this washer for Amana back then just with a different transmission which is the part that is dying. I love the fill options and the temperature options on my old washer. I could manually set any water level and also the temperature for wash and rinse. Three levels of agitation. Normal, Permapress,/Knits, and Delicates. What else does one need? I looked at this new Commercial Maytag washer last night. It looks very cheaply made at least the exterior metal and over all outside fit. The price of this unit is too high in my opinion. I would say if it was priced in the $500 - $600 range that would be perfect. The wash tub seemed very flimsy and thin. Plus it sloshes around loosely. The one I saw barely had any drain holes in it? It has two load levels full or half and only half on Norma/small load. I don't know if I want this machine or not though the reviews by Gene and other owners seem positive. The videos show great turn over but the machine sounds like it is going to tear itself apart! The retailer store I went to said it is a good washer and they sell a lot of them but they also sell lots of SQ's as well. They say most are going with the new SQ design with the fixed agitator/tub or (Perfect Wash) They claim the SQ is far better machine per build quality and also if loaded correctly will provide as good of a job cleaning as the Commercial Maytag. Too bad Gene doesn't live in Utah I would hire him to rebuild my old Amana. He is a true asset to the Appliance Community.
Your channel has been very helpful. I have a question, does this Maytag lid lock while in use?
I believe i read in is blog that it does not. He doe not appear to answer any videos, just posts them.
The lid locks on spin cycle. He must have wedged something in the lock to make it think the lid was closed.
I would've added more water via a bucket, hose or something. I sure hope that Whirlpool buys the Kenmore name if Sears is no longer going to exist. It's a household name after all. What do you think Eugene?
KENMORE brand is no longer owned by SEARS. MOST KENMORE washers and dryers are now made by LG. The first three digits of KENMORE appliances indicate the manufacturer. 106 or 110 are Whirlpool.
What is the brand name of the phosphate detergent?
I would've extended a hose to it and add more water until the water line met the sealed balance ring.
And it could have spilled over in spin cycle.
Does that agitator have agitator dogs like in the whirlpool and Kenmore direct drive dual action agitators?
Lorain Furniture I’m hoping this is their step back into the direction of the direct drive machines definitely see a lot of similarities between the two
I would assume so.
Thanks for the video. Please share your source for the commercial detergent you like (for those of us outside your area).
Hey id like to know myself, I have a business and looking for a good phosphate detergent
Can a dual-action agitator be replaced with a single-action agitator?
Yes
Hey Eugene, any chance you could film the 6.0 cu. ft. Maytag washer with the agitator? I’d love to see many loads with that machine! It’s huge!
Lorain Furniture: Sure thing. MVWB965HW
I checked this model same stupid one piece agitator like the Crosley...
How do you add liquid fabric softener to this machine?
In that hole on the agitator 🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦
I wish this kind of agitator should be more popular on top load washers. However, I wonder how those thin fins on the bottom plate do not shred our clothes.
The agitator us not much different than what Whirlpool had made since 1982.
Can you wash a queen sized comforter in it? Thanks in advance
Yes it can
I have a 25 year old Maytag and do you see how it is twisting the towels and tangling them up. You definitely had it overloaded they need to be able to move freely in there. It is hard on your belts and motor to work that hard. I was letting my daughter do washing and she would pack it too tight because she didn’t want to do multiple loads because she was impatient but I had to scold her because it’s too hard on the machine. They are well made but don’t push the limit unless you want to break it. That has a strange change of rhythm.
.
Could use some more water... these machines are not made to wash large or heavy items.. the rollover isn't too bad
you think this puppy can handle a king size blanket? Not a comforter or down just a blanket
How do you keep it running with the lid open please? I don't like the spray rinse. Does it work?
Probably an override on the lock, or this may use older technology that allowed for adding items mid wash. I miss that era.
You can unscrew the lid lock from the lid and stick it into the washer.
Bought one, had it one week and it broke. I returned it, what a pile of junk. Not worth $1500 CAD
Can a washer do a spin drain with an electric pump?
Cesar Blanco: It can do a partial spin-drain after neutral draining 4 or 5 inches of water. The one washer the Speed Queen TR SERIES , THE TR3,TR5,and the TR7 models. I've seen videos of these top loading machines in action. I have the 2018 Speed Queen TR5 top loader.
IF the pump is strong enough then yes, but some HE pumps can't pump fast enough. But generally neutral drains are less wear on the motor and gear case, So when the mechanism allows for that it's better for the machine.
I have a aeg front loader with a 10kg wash load and it washed 10 bath towels and spun them at 1800rpm with no fuss and I had perfect wash results. Goes to show the great American top loader washer is crap
alex tilson they’ll probably last much longer thanks to the front loader too
The great American top loader is JUST that ! I have both a top and front loader and the front loader I find cleans no better than using my Speed Queen top loader .
@@patcola7335 A top loader wears clothes out far quicker than a front loader and due to there rough agitation clothes do not come out clean, In UK a top loader is rated at the bottom of cleaning efficiancy and also for economy and they have the worst spin efficiancy. My AEG has a spin speed of 1800rpm which heavy bath towels are damp dry after the full spin cycle and I never have to use bleach to make them white, as they have a long wash at 60'c, When the weather is good I can have the pleasure of hanging out my laundry to dry which dries with a fresh smell, and also in bad weather I have a new heatpump dryer which costs pennies to run also, but I tend to let nature dry my laundry as its free and everything smells better
@@alextilson5809 Our top loaders for decades outscored front loaders for cleaning ability over here. Clothes were made better and you still have the cushioning of the water itself.
So for 73 years since the first top load automatic washers came out we have been doing it all wrong..hmm...
Manufacturers got good at making smooth agitators causing as little damage as possible.
You folks and your precious front loaders. Yet here you are watching an AMERICAN top load agitator washer doing its thing.
It's only in the last 23 years that front loaders are now a thing when we had them all along.
I have both a front loader and top loader which I won't have either for long. Anyway the front loader doesn't clean any better than the top load washer I have .
The front loader's strengths are it's cavernous tub and spin cycles.
Other than that it's not the wash day miracle some of the front load camp make them out to be.
@@alextilson5809 Alex did you ever use a top loader ? You are entitled to your opinion but don't be disingenuous. Top loaders have been used by a large portion of the globe since the first automatics came out after the war.
To say they don't clean is laughable. Even our testing agency Consumers Union in the U.S. showed from their testing that front loaders didn't do quite as well as agitator top loaders.
The front loaders removed more heavy dirt and sand because their drums were perforated while most top loaders in the 1950s and 60s were still using a solid tub...except for Whirlpool/Kenmore.
Anyway I don't lose sleep over this stuff. Efficiency is also one's time. Using more water helps cut down cycle time also. Easier for dirt to be flushed away.
The new 'high efficiency's top loaders aren't great that's for sure but the old "water hogs" were the best.
Bulky for more water?
Man that here goes nothing sounded like why am I doing this to this amazing machine lol
What is the powdered detergent? Brand? Etc
Was this ever answered?
What gets me is this washes like a DD without the transmission. Even though this is the VMW platform this machine performs better than them all it seems. More power and capacity.
Whirlpool proved by this machine that the VMW design can perform like old school machines.
Why they aren't making a whole line of these I can't figure out .
If they know this is what a lot of Americans want then what is the holdup on more production of these machines with more features and cycle options ?
Those DD washers with the one piece spiral agitators with hardly any fins on the base is pointless.
Now they have a whopping 6.0 cu .ft model with an agitator and those shallow base vanes.
Is this belt driven, or does it have a transmission?
Belt
Do the power wash
I think it uses too much water but it does agitate good
The more water the cleaner the cloths.
I just got this machine. How do you get the machine to fill with the lid open?
Maytag used a loop hole to get a real washing machine to the public they slapped the word "commercial" to it, the EPA regulation makes regular washers worthless.
EPA still allows the manufacture of feel water machines. They WHIRLPOOL World Washer cones in both versions in all brands. They are mechanically identical except for the type of agitator.
Powder is better in bottom of tub! You get complete melting with no residue left over
Would you say this is the best washer under a thousand dollars as far as cleaning capacity and durability
Yes!
I bought the washer and matching dryer. Does anyone know why my brand new gas dryer doesn't heat very well?
Yes unclog the vent.
Definitely clean your venting system from end to end. It’s the number one issue when clothes are not drying with a new dryer.

@@LorainFurnitureandAppliance Is their a regular version and a bleach version of the case if I am right?

Get a speed queen tc5 washer
so you say DO NOT GET THIS ONE
What's the reason to overload a washer? Makes NO sense!!

@@Jake-by9ly Well.... I'm sure that most women overload, as well as most men. ALL the women (& men) in our family purposely/slightly "underload" their washers in the interest of clean laundry & the in the interest of the longevity of the washing-machine.

The motor is straining. I don't see how it will handle commercial use in the real world.

Why do americans have these toploaders?... never understood how they can be better than a frontloader? Can you maybe explain what the benefits of a toploader are compared to a frontloader? Btw where i live you can’t even find toploaders besides the very old used ones from the 60s.

A decent machine, but come on machine, work harder and more aggressive on clothes by speeding up agitation like on older machine so it would clean better. Is there a setting to do that?
HAHAHAHAHA
👋 I'm wondering why you load the machine by wrapping items around the agitator. I've always had better results by dropping straight in.
Seems this machine would benefit from an extra fill or a full sensor to remove stress from overloading. Or is this an hE /low fill machine?
I've recommended the commercial Maytag in place of the 2018 SQ in a cleaning group, but I'm now second guessing my original impression of this machine.
Is the noise level stressing the difficulty with this load, forewarning of lesser quality parts, or is this normal?
Not to be that guy..... I despise what Obama politics removed from our quality machines.
I want to start a " give us back our water and machines" movement....
Elizabeth because it is suggeated to load them in loose heaps
needs agitator dogs maybe not
