I have had this set for 4 years now. No issues what so ever, just clean and fresh clothes.
This was an EXCELLENT presentation. The speaker spoke well, left out unnecessary rambling, no stupid jokes to endure. He gave every detail. I wish I were in Cleveland to buy the washer today
I’ve owned this washer and dryer set for about a year 1/2. I have a family of five and we wash a full load daily. This set is absolutely amazing. It’s simple and washes clothes to pristine cleanliness. Forget the bells and whistles of other products that look good but are inefficient.
I have this washer also and I love it! It washes so well!
Honestly it's also nice that's made in Ohio. (Washer at least)
My old 37 year old Whirlpool still does a good wash job.
@The Dime May I please know, do you still like the Maytag washer and may I please know where you bought it ?
hi! I need to buy a new washer for our family and am looking at this one. how loud is it?
We bought this washer a few months ago. We
Can’t
Believe the difference in our clean clothes. You commented about the spin and extra to send we have an extra rinse on ours plus we are so impressed with the spin. Maybe 10 minutes in the dryer and the clothes are dry. We threw in a queen size comforter and it handles it no problem with lots of room left. We also have never had it lose balance. What a great machine. We couldn’t be happier. Friends of mine bought the lg. she is extremely disappointed she didn’t buy the Maytag. Plus plus plus a great washer. I could go on and on. Thanks
Roxy 9001a ... Thanks for the great comments !!! May I see know where you bought you Maytag mvwp575gw washer ? Was a store like Lowe's or Home Depot or was it from Loraine Appliance ?
I washed my king size comforter in my MVWP575GW. Still works fine.
Livin on the edge, lol.
If you fold it like an accordion, you might have more room.
Really? That's the main hesitation for me. We have three king sized beds in our house!
Bought this washer 5 years ago based on this video. It has performed well! Only gripe is this thing rocks all over the place if I wash more than 2-3 towels on any of the more aggressive wash cycles.
We purchased this washer dryer set 2 weeks ago. We are extremely happy with both the washer and dryer. The washer has a deep tub that handles pkenty of clothes. Both units are very easy to use. The dryer has a light and an easy to remove and replace lint filter. We haven't bought any new washer or dryer since the late 90s. We hit the jackpot with these appliances. Good job Maytag!
What is the model # of the dryer? Going shopping tomorrow!
So you have had this Maytag washer for several months now do you still like it? Does it still do a good job for you? Thanks
@@022851 Don't buy!!! Read my story.
7:37 No Extra Rinse option? The knob on the far right shows it has Extra Rinse at 0:08.
I bought this washer because of you. It was just installed and I'm going to do my first load of laundry. So excited!! Thank you so much for your reviews!
Lorain Furniture ... Thank you, I will! I truly appreciate you.
I have washed 5 bulky loads, 2 being my work uniforms (4 piece, 5.11 dispatcher uniforms), everything came out great and in a short time!
It was well worth me having this pair shipped to Southern California!
Laci Greystone I got all the shirts out of my drawer to REwash them!! My 5.11s get dry cleaned.
@@Ohp880 I hope your shirts are getting clean like mine! I'm still going strong after these 3 years. I love my washer and dryer!
I bought this washer a couple weeks ago, in large part due to this review and your Speed Queen vs. Maytag review video. I love it! So much better than my terrible old FP washer that couldn't take a load of towels without getting out of balance. Thanks!
Hi Michael Winton !!!
May I please ask if you still like your Maytag MVWP575GW washer ?
@@brendame yes I do! So happy with it
@@mjdub Thanks for the fast response !!! So glad to know that you are happy with the Maytag vwmp575wg washer !!! May I please know where you found the washer or which store sold you the washer ?
Based on your reviews we purchased the Maytag Commercial washer and dryer to replace our still "working" LG HE pair. The difference is remarkable. No more 1 -2 hour wash times and constant UE (Uneven Load) error codes. No more clothes coming out of the washer with some areas still dry. The Maytag Commercial thoroughly cleans clothes with a run time under 40 minutes! I was worried that the slower spin speed would be an issue, but the clothes come out just damp. The dryer is also excellent. Thank you so much for helping us with this purchase. By the way, we bought them from ABC Warehouse (appliance chain in Michigan and northern Ohio) for $899 each and 5 year full parts & labor warranty.
Kudos to Whirlpool ! You guys did well with this ! Wash action simply doesn't get any better.....new respect for the VMW platform.
I bought the washer/dryer pair and they just arrived today. Already, I've run three loads. Based on the limited use, I'm very happy! I ran the first load (of kitchen towels) on NORMAL with the extra RINSE option. It actually gave me a deep water wash and two deep water rinses. I ran it on WARM; however it wasn't very warm. The next load was cotton bed sheets. I washed them on HOT and I selected the BULKY cycle. As far as I could tell, it filled completely with HOT water, rather than a mix. That cycle time was about 37 minutes (including fills). I added fabric softener to the dispenser and it worked as it should. The last load I ran was a load of whites on NORMAL with no options. This time, NORMAL with no options gave me a half tub with the spray rinse. I also added bleach to the wash and they came out very clean. I added fabric softener to the dispenser too. I was surprised to find that the softener got saturated through the load. The cycle lasted about 28 minutes (including fills). Just for grins, I ran the whites through RINSE & SPIN. It filled completely. The washer is fast, thorough, and quiet. The dryer works flawlessly too! With only three loads under my belt, I am very HAPPY. I would post my own video review, but I can't match Eugene's star power! LOL!
Which model dryer did you buy? Gas or Electric?
Hi Bill Ivans !!! May I please know if you still like your Maytag MVWP575GW?
Bravo, Whirlpool! I'm certainly impressed. This is definitely better than the new SQ. Thanks for the honest review, Eugene.
This is Maytag not whirlpool
@@cherylq7183 Maytag hasn't existed on it's own or had an independent engineering office since 2006 when Whirlpool Corporation bought the company. They closed Maytag's offices and factory in Newton, Iowa. The original company doesn't exist, this machine was designed by Whirlpool in Benton Harbor, MI and built at their factory in Clyde, Ohio.
@@cherylq7183don't spout ignorance. Maytag has been owned by whirlpool since 2006
I recently purchased the Maytag 575 and matching dryer. I am really happy with them. I have no problem with the spin speed, and my genes and towels have no excess water. They dried in 45 minutes on "Hot".
I take it back. For a really big load, I had to put the "Drain and Spin" cycle on for about 5 minutes to get the remaining water out, before throwing the clothes into the dryer.
I had my set delivered and installed today. I am in love!!!! I am washing load number 3 and I am just amazed how well and how fast this washer washes. There are only 3 things I do not like: it doesn't fill with the lid up, Normal cycle water is lukewarm when choosing hot, and there is no water level selection. My tub is different than the one in your video. My clothes are clean and smell great. I am so accustomed to my old LG toploader taking almost 2 hours to wash a load. This washer finishes a load in about 45 minutes or so with the Extra Rinse option selected. I love it. And the dryer is great too. It's a little smaller than my LG dryer but it dries great. As far as the extraction of the clothes in the washer, Maytag must have upped the spin speed I think. After washing a load of darks that included 2 huge bath towels, I spun the clothes in my clothes spinner that spins 3200 rpms, and not that much water came out. I am very impressed and very happy. Will not be trading this set in.
I have a 30 year old Maytag Model LA412 that was made before the government got involved and it has been a great machine and while it still works sometimes it doesn't agitate so I have to fiddle with it. I have been looking at new machines but have noticed quite a few complaints about how little water they use and don't always get the clothes clean. I came across this video and am really impressed with this machine even though it has less capacity than I had wanted. I do like the fact that it fills up with water. I am seriously considering buying this machine on the recommendation of this video but seeing as I live in Texas I won't be able to buy it at Lorain Furniture and Appliance but our Lowe's store has it available. Thanks for a great video.
Lee Mullen you should really consider fixing what you have
@@LorainFurnitureandAppliance I have replaced the belts and I have replaced the glide kit for the motor but every once and awhile when I go to use it it will fill up with water and when its time to agitate nothing happens but the motor is running because it starts squealing and burning the belt. If I set it to spin before I put in any clothes that usually helps but not always. I just wish I knew what was causing it not to agitate right away and if it wasn't cost prohibitive I would fix it. I originally bought that machine because I was so impressed with the transmission. They had a cut away transmission at the dealer and the simplicity of it sold me. I have certainly got my moneys worth out of it but like I say I don't know how to fix it and am not sure there is still anybody out there that worked on these old machines.
Found this video from Wirecutter, have never heard of Speed Queen until I read that. Sounds like it used to be great. They really messed up with their response to you, speaks volumes about the company I guess. Thanks for the reviews, this looks like a good one. 👍
Pretty impressive. You can always just use the rinse and spin option if you want a second rinse, and people who have machines like this tend to be pretty hands on about laundry anyway, so this shouldn’t be too much of an issue. Nice video!
I called you and you told me about this machine . I had never heard of it.
I love it. It's so normal!
Thanks for your advice!
Hi Mary Johnson !!! May I please know, do you still like your washer ?
FYI people, do NOT buy this machine from Lowe's (Model #MVWP576KW) which only has a ONE YEAR warranty, not the 5 offered by Maytag. Yet it looks exactly the same….. Shop carefully.
The style number is different. You have to get the G model not the K model to get the 5 year which is not sold in big box stores
I love this washer. Very durable with an old school flavor and efficiency. Thumbs up for Maytag 👍👍👍
Great review!! The washer has the best washing action I have seen in awhile. I like the commercial look.
very nice review i;d say this one is the go to for buyng a new machune
I know you like this washer but it is by far the loudest washing machine I have ever heard in my life and it's going back for that reason. I can here this machine all over the house, and I have a large house. Put this on the delicate cycle and it makes noise like something you never expected to hear out of a washing machine. Especially after paying over $800 for it. I also had to spend 40 bucks on anti hammering valves because when this is filling up, it is constantly changing from hot to cold. When it does that, it creates an enormous amount of pressure in the line and the pipes rattle throughout my house. Good washer if you have a separate building to put it in.
I have this machine and LOVE IT! I wash our queen comforter in it with no problems!! Love the simple controls. My only gripe is that it needs a water level function.
Does your spread have padding or is it flat? I have one with padding that I can't wash. Thanks
@@taramiller3236 It's kinda puffy. It's a tight fit, but the machine does a good job of agitating it.
@@ljac4147 thanks 🦃🦃🦃
Thanks for the great video :) I really miss my old Maytag, but it appears you can't get anything quite like the old ones; this comes pretty close. If anyone is worried about the "rough" washing re delicates, like, say a silk shirt, you can put them in a mesh laundry bag. I read reviews on the Speed Queen and no one likes the new one, and it's really hard to find an older one. I thought what Speed Queen did to you was really crappy; I'm glad that video is still up! It definitely took Speed Queen out of the running
What did they do to him
The new model TC5000 is a revision of the old model and reintroduces all that was good with Speed Queen.
Just wanted to let everyone know there is a 575 model sold at independent stores and a 576 model sold only at Lowe's. Prices are similar, and the unit is identical (according to a call to Maytag), but the 575 has the 5 year parts and labor warranty with hoses included. The 576 is just a 1 year warranty (so would have to buy the extended Lowe's warranty) and does not comes with hoses. So for me, I'd rather go with the 575.
You have to buy the hoses!?!
@@tiffanyguldi7564 The 575 comes with the hoses and has a 5 year warranty. The 576 doesn't come with hoses and only a 1 year warranty.
FAUguy23 I’m so torn, I want the 575 from ABC Warehouse but it could take weeks to ship. I need the washer ASAP as our front loader has mold issues and Lowe’s can have it here this week.
@@tiffanyguldi7564 Any other local shops that sell the 575? I went with it because the washer and dryer was 800 instead of 850 at Lowe's, and didn't have to spend another $250 for warranty.
FAUguy23 I’ll check around tomorrow, thanks!
I have this machine and LOVE IT!! It's one of the quietest washers I've ever owned. I had a centiennal washer before this one and that one was LOUD and if you had an off-balanced load it sounded like a bar room brawl!! If your in the market I highly suggest this unit.
Don Mckinney can you tell me if this washer when it's filing up for wash or rinse does it pause then fill pause then fill ... till the tub is completely full? I picked up a less expensive Maytag model takes forever to fill and is constantly pausing
No echoe-this machine doesn't do that and it washes loads faster than my old centennial. I know what your referring to about the pausing ! My old unit would do that but Maytag went back to their roots and got it right on this machine. I highly recommend it if your in the market for a new washer. You won't be sorry!
Does it continue to fill when the lid is raised? On my old Speed Queen, the fill would stop with the lid raised. That was always frustrating because I like to use liquid fabric softener. When the fill stops, it's hard to capture water to top off the fabric softener dispenser.
No sir it'll stop filling if you open the lid.
Don Mckinney any issues with locking ? I stupidly bought the non-commercial 4.2 Maytag I've been having issues with the locking mechanism since I purchased it . On the final spin it locks and stays locked along with the done button three or four times trying to lift the lid eventually unlocks . Early this morning he forgot he left a load of laundry in the washer from last night all of a sudden he heard a click when he was in the kitchen looked over and the washer had locked itself it had not been in use for about 7 to 8 hours . There have been other times to that if the laundry was forgotten about it locks itself back up . Other issues I've noticed is it's just not cleaning the clothes if I don't rinse it a second time they just don't smell or look clean at all
Great video , explanation of features and close ups Eugene !!
I waited in the Chat line on the Maytag website for over an hour. I was wanting to find out if this machine has the option to run a warm rinse. They said it does, which pleased me very much! Just thought I'd pass that along in case anyone else out there likes to use a warm rinse.
I was wondering about that. Thank you!
I was torn between the Maytag and the Speed Queen. Based on your reviews, I went with the Speed Queen. I like the faster agitation of the Speed Queen and believe the SQ will be a little gentler on clothes. Thanks for all your hard work posting your videos.
You made the right decision. Speed Queen is the KING of Washers in AMERICA!!! Period!!!!
@Mike Bingham When Speed Queen blacklisted this YT channel for giving an honest review on their 2018 model my respect for Speed Queen went down the drain.
I have to agree with you about the extraction. I washed a large load of bright colors with two large bath towels. It took 55 minutes to dry the load on the More Dry setting. I will time the drying time after spin-drying the load to see if it makes a big difference.
The inside of this unit reminds me of GE Profile top load washer I've had since 2006. It's also 3.5 cuft, but has digital controls and allows you to manually set the water level (5 settings).
Just got this washer. Clothes come out much cleaner .Wash load done in 30 minutes!! I've died and gone to heaven!! My other washer didnt last and took 3 times as long to finish a load. Can't be happier and plan to keep it until it breaks down and then buy the parts to fix it.😁😁😁
I have a 37 year old Maytag which seems like this new one. It has two water levels & two wash options. It has never had a service call & has the original belt. I almost bought a new one but the nice sales lady at Loews said, “don’t do it. The old Maytags were the best”. John Toronto Canada
You know what. This is going to be my first washing machine.
Just got my new Maytag Commercial washer broke it on the first wash. i got a 2nd and it was broke from the start. i got a third but it was a speed queen classic works great
Your just a hater and fuck speed queen
@@Thedonsmoney25823 you must be a very special person to have such strong feelings about a washer. 😆
Remember "The Lonely Maytag Repairman." It's no joke. Maytag makes great washers. I had one repaired to replace another I would not have bought (it lasted about 2 years). I got an old Maytag repaired to replace it. The repairman told me he loved the older top-loaders. The front loaders have to fight gravity too much and break down. He said I had one of the last ones made with all metal inside. I do a lot of laundry and I've been using it for 10 years. K.I.S.S.
Thank you so much for this review and your Speed Queen reviews as well. My repairman recommended that I purchase a Speed Queen. I was about to make that mistake, but thankfully I saw your reviews first. I appreciate you filming this machine washing various types of clothing, and even the comforter. Each video has been incredibly helpful! Half of my washes are delicate/hand wash cycles. It would be helpful if you would also film a delicate wash cycle, and perhaps review the fabric softener dispenser function as well. My reservations in purchasing this washer are: 1) Not knowing how it does on a delicate cycle, 2) Not knowing how well the fabric softener dispenser works, 3) Not having an option for less water with a delicate cycle, since many delicate loads (of mine at least) are just 1-2 items of clothing. But in spite of these unknowns, it does seem like it's the ONLY washer out there that actually washes clothes.
@@LorainFurnitureandAppliance Thank you!
I have been watching your videos for a long time and wanted to get this maytag 575 u reviewed. But havent been able to locate it anywhere! Lowes has the newer 576 model. Can u do a review on that one asap. I too wanted to see the 575 in the delicate cycle. When u do the reviews, can u please tell us if there is a way to keep lid open so we can see the different agitation on different cycles at home? My last top loader, GE profile, had a magnet which was easy to remove for this purpose. Also, i believe in one of the videos for the 575 u said that u really could not get hot water. Cant u just set water temp by the faucet that connects to hose?
Just FYI the cycles that aren’t deep fill have a rinse spin only not a deep fill rinse.
Yaaaa! It's like the vintage top load Kenmore has been resurrected!
Shut uuuuuuuuupppppp
My old washer is still running. But when it dies I will be getting one of these, been on my list for a while.
I have this exact washer but mine has the extra rinse and presoak options. They must have added that to the newer version. I purchased it with the matching dryer and have had it for a month now. I'm hoping it will last a long time. The set was a little over $2,000. One thing I noticed was that it makes some humming and whirring noises that my previous washer didn't make.
Thank you for this video. My old old Kenmore broke and I was at the appliance store trying to decide on a washer. I had initially thought I would buy a speed queen but I saw so many bad reviews of the 2018 speed queens - this video helped me make my decision .. my new Maytag will be here on Friday :-)
Exhibit A and B Contrary to your comment @7:38 sec. At 0:20 sec.... IT does HAVE an EXTRA RINSE option. Not only that, it has a soak option. If you forget, you can just set it to rinse and spin when it's done.
After 2 years of use, I started to notice the Deep Fill is about 2" less water than it use to be. Also, this week when the water drain pump is activated, it is making a very LOUD sound, but still drains. Since it's still under warranty, I have a tech coming out in 2 weeks
Keep us posted please
@@LorainFurnitureandAppliance The repair man came out on Tuesday and since they washer and dryer are in a small downstairs bathroom (townhouse) he had a real had time getting to the bump motor. When he took off the pipes, there was two rusting safety pins that were caught in the pump's blades. So he removed them, put it back together and it drained without the loud sound that started 2 weeks ago. He had a replacement pump motor with him, but I guess if it's not really damaged or not working, they won't replace it, since it was two pins caught in there.
@@LorainFurnitureandAppliance Also, when asking about the water level, he checked Normal where it fills half, and the other Deep Water where I said it looked about 1-2" less than it was new. He said there's a weight sensor, and even though you have it on deep water, it will adjust by the weight. (I think that isn't true). But I told him washing towels, you can see I needs a bit more water.
My Speed queen did that too...all of a sudden, half tub fill. I've been adding water for years. Then the water level knob, that allowed you to add water fell off, broke off, not just the knob, the metal broke, so I had to use a hose to add water. Then the gentle cycle stopped doing anything, then the soak cycle, then the transmission stop agitating correctly, especially with heavy items, now the rinse cycle takes about 15 minutes to fill and the rinse lasts about a minute. I have to turn it to wash to get the clothes rinsed. The washer is a 2016 and it hasn't worked like it should for at least 4 years. I'm looking for something better👍
@@fauguy23 No it isn't true. The deciding factor for water level is Full on The Mixed, Delicate, Powerwash, and Bulky cycles, and 1/2 tub for Normal. The new MVWP585 Model does sense but only on normal.
The machine Fills about a half inch to an inch from the very top of the basket on the Powerwash, Delicate, and Mixed cycles and fills all the way full on Bulky/Towels. If it doesn't fill all the way up on Bulky/Towels then the pressure sensor has either come out of adjustment or it is broken. It shouldn't be broken that new because if it was the machine would overfill and flood
One thing I really like about this machine is that it has the Maytag performa agitation
if you want your machine to last don't over load it,over loading wears the parts inside the agitator and it will not spin
We just ordered this. Large family with a baby in cloth diapers. Thank you so much for the video!
JM Being that u have a baby in cloth diapers, do u use hot water setting? Have u checked to see how hot water gets? I have read it gets lukewarm only. Does it even get warm???
thank you so much for your reviews. I have had the worst luck with front loaders over the past 15 years, constantly repairing them, and staining my cloths, I never want another one! I am switching back to top loaders with an agitator. Bought a GE 3 weeks ago but it spits out the fabric softener all over and stains my cloths, then after its done spinning it drips fabric softener down the agitator and into the bottom of the tub. I have tried using less and less FS, but it does the same, so its going back to Lowes in 2 days. I went to another store to purchase a speed queen but he highly recommended this maytag instead. AFter watching your 2018 vs 2017 speed queen and this video I am sold on the maytag. Thanks so much for taking the time to make this video and save us the frustration of buying a poor quality machine that needs repair every 6 months.
i am on my second ge top load with agitaor your problem is a lot better than what happens in a couple months trust me ha ha I am on my second one in 2 years after fighting with them over and over and threatening to go to attorney general it does great water level and great wash but is not reliable it breaks constantly bells rings constantly cant turn them off rings while washing etc which it shouldn't do be so happy you returned it!!!!!! I have no idea what I am going to buy next but I am sick of buying washers that dont work! or dont clean and now speed queen is off the list too. Unfortunately my 2 sisters got the 2017 model and love them I am to late ha ha
Did you get this maytag?
mo I am waiting for mine to break again I still have warranty and going to use them for all I can. The maytag looks pretty good but I do not like it does not have levels to adjust big turn off for me. I keep hoping speed queen changes their washer for 2019 fingers crossed. If nto I don't know what I am going to do grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!
Yes I didn't realize that I couldn't pick a load size. Isn't that so odd?
I want this but the lid lock might be a deal breaker. Not even that it locks during spin (fine) but that the washer will not run all with the lid open. It won't fill, wash, rinse or anything. I always like to check my soap situation and I like to make sure I have enough water for the clothes. Especially since this is new and I would not be used to water level like I am on mine. I find this very bad.
I bought a GE extra capacity washer at the local big box store and from day one it never worked right. I called warranty service after two years of frustration. They tell me to call a local repairman since the small town I live in doesn't have a service tech available. The 'repairman' I call comes out and says "yea, you do have a problem, I'll order parts and we'll have this fixed in a week." Fast forward six months and many calls later and still no second service call to repair my machine. I ended up ordering and installing the parts myself and even tho I took the hit for the cost of the parts the machine works perfectly now and I love how clean it gets my laundry. That's the only reason I kept the machine was because you can't beat a good top loader that gets laundry clean.
would have beeb nice if they added a glass top to this one so you could see like the GE washers with the agitators in them.very good washer.
I don't worry about drying speed as I tend to dry my clothes outdoors on a line anyways if the weather is good...which could be why I've went through two washers in the last 20+ years as opposed to one dryer, lol.
Well, I decided to see if others have the same issues we face. We have a family of 8 and chose this washer for our needs. We average just under 3 loads a day. We should have the repair manual out about once a month. This time he said the transmission is bad. We have the cheap plastic parts frequently strip and the tub doesn't spin. This time the clothes are coming out extremely dirty and I watched the agitator not work. We are thankful for the 5 year warranty and should be using it more frequently. I doubt anyone could start a business selling a machine that has been so unreliable. I wonder how many other thumbs down are due to similar experiences.
I bought this washer and it only lasted 6 months before the repairman was needed. After 6 return visits and having to go to the laundromat for two months, we finally convinced Maytag to replace it. So we're starting over with a new one. We're still out hundreds of dollars for laundromat expenses. Fingers crossed!
@Michele T Started off with a strange squeaking noise during high speed spin that went on for about 10 wash cycles. Like a bearing was starting to go out but it was intermittent. Then, the washer just stopped working completely. Left us with a load of soaking wet clothes. First thing he changed was a capacitor. But the one he put in was not for a "commercial" washer and was too small to handle it so it failed. Then he ordred the correct one and it then it still wouldn't work at all. At least with the weaker capacitor it ran for a load. After the weak capacitor failed, it was a search for the real problem. He changed the wiring harness twice, why, I still don't know. Changed the control board and still wouldn't run. These things aren't that complicated of a machine so the last thing was to change the motor and that's when I pulled the plug. After that and six visits, I just demanded a new machine. So far so good but time will tell. I hope you have better luck than we did. Like you, when it works, it's an amazing washer! Funny, how we call something amazing that works like they did in the 60s-80's! Good luck!
Are u sure that the model was the maytag mvwp575gw or the newer version of their commercial washer? Asking because I havent been able to find this 575gw model for a long time now! If it is that model, where were u able to purchase it?
Rosette Battista MVWP575GWO
Thanks for sharing this clip Video. It is useful for who want to buy new washing machine.
nice job on your reviews. have totally changed my direction on type of machines. great summary on the sq machines. searching out your reviews on youtube on other machines. thank for your honesty and time to put these together. wish your store was in my state.
Appreciate the video. We're coping with frustrations of the beasts of high efficiency and this looks like a good escape route
Great Video. You sold me. Would you deliver to Massachusetts ? : ) Finally a Washer that is Old School. Water and Roll over. Perfect.
Eugene, I love your reviews! Thank you! One question my husband is making me ask is “Can you wash small entrance rugs, or bath rugs in this washer?” I can’t buy a new washer until I have this answered and I HATE my washer. It’s a Maytag that is one you absolutely do not recommend. Yes I bought it for the name and the history Maytag has. Never again! Thank you again! Shelli
You should never wash any rubber backed rugs in any washer, the rubber bits detach and clog the washer. That said, you can wash any reaonably flexible rug in this washer, I would use the delicate or bulky cycle.
Do you think the complaints I read about wet clothes are actually just normal operation for this unit?
Personally I don't care if they dry a little longer. I'm asking to clarify for others that saw that as the only common theme in complaints.
It doesnt imo, you can have a bigger load with this and get clothes clean, and it dries in the same time as a HE full load - just my two cents.
Hey I just wanted to let you know, I watched this review and based on it, I bought this washer and the matching dryer. That was almost a year ago.
I love this washer. It does an incredible job, and I love its simplicity. There haven't been any problems.
I was at my parents' house a few weeks ago and my mom just got the latest Samsung. You had to choose the fabric type and the water level and the cycle. It was ridiculously over complicated. I bet mine outlasts hers by double, at least.
Seems to be a nice machine. I am considering this or the front load LG that you reviewed sorry I forgot the model number but I recall it has like spray jets on it. Does this clean as well as the LG that I am talking about in your opinion. Prefer to purchase USA made appliances when possible and this now looks like this good be the one for me being I am not sold on the 2018 SQ washers now.
Gary, did you ever get an answer to your question? I was thinking the same thing.
My 2011 Samsung front loader lasted 7 years before first problem (Drain pump)! Time to get rid of them, I'm sure its first of many more problems to come.
We have an older washer, It has this old style whirlpool Heavy duty sorta look, Works really well, about 30 years old from what I know, One complaint i have is the fact that the agitator needs to be replace, but apart form that its a really good mechanic, also what I mean by replace I mean the 4 rubber things that turn the agitator. Also my washer takes 10 minutes to finish a normal load, and 14 minutes for the heavy duty option,
Just got the Whirlpool non vended commercial version of this. So far so good. These commercial machines have the best wash action of all the vmw machines. Why couldn't Whirlpool have made them all like that ?
I've had this washer for 4 years now, and it is making a loud clicking buzzing sound before rhe motor starts to rotate the tub. Repair tech came last week and replaced the pulley and belt, but 3 days later it was still doing it. They came out today, but it doesn't do the sound when they are here. They are going to replace the motor last week. Please see the videos of it on my YT channel if you might know what rhe peoblem is. Thank you.
Just bought the Maytag MVWP575GW because of this video. Couple nobs, hit the start button, go...as it should be. Only thing, I hate that I can't watch my clothes as the agitation stops when you open the lid. Since this is a new washer, I want to see how well I loaded it, turnover and suds. Guess I could monkey with the latch thing but we'll see i guess. Other than that, it is exactly what I wanted.
Hi Michael Stahl !!! May I please know, do you still like your Maytag MVWP575GW?
Just had this wash and dry delivered. On the third wash I left the lid open so it could soak longer than the presoak cycle provides. The cycle apparently kept going and the machine drained the water. I closed the lid during that cycle and the machine did not go into spin just kept making a draining sound. Not sure I should do another load. Another issue is the extreme vibration in the spin cycle.
Also, the dryer tub turns but no heat.
The washer is taller than the dryer by a half inch. I have both units level and on solid level floor, the legs on the washer are on the lowest setting, the dryer is on a higher leg setting. Maybe I should return these units.
That's very kind of you to reply. Appreciate it. I did another load on hot water, it gave warm water. The spin cycle went into tub banging mode. Something is broken or missing in the tub attachment. I wanted as simple a washer as possible. Not sure I want to have this fixed. I agree, both units should have been tested before the guys left. Thanks again.
Thanks for the video. Is this still your go-to machine for a no frills top-load washer? And when you mentioned that it won't clean a queen-sized comforter, is there a washer that you can recommend that can? Preferably a king-sized or am I out of luck? Thanks for the content. I appreciate your honesty in the videos.
You need a front loader or Top Loader with an impeller. The agitator takes up room. That is why you go to a Laundromat for a Comforter.
When you say the capacity is puny, keep in mind that a few decades ago, that size was considered super capacity. It's perfectly fine for many.
Back then, people didn't have king sized beds.
@@Indydi Uh, there were plenty of king sized beds back in the seventies. I lived through that era. Maybe you're believing what people write on facebook.
Your videos are awesome!! Thanks for the great commentary too!
I like this machine but there are not load levels. just regular and deep. Also, I would like to get rid of the lid lock so it can fill when its open, any ideas on how to disable it or override it?
The only, ONLY kind of washer that will actually clean is this style! With an agitator with this exact motion. This the only style I would spend money on!
That's your opinion though
Zavier Of course it’s their opinion.
Why do you think they left it?
Are you an Idiot?
Ge has a 4 cb ft classic washer, I think its the biggest classic washer and it's got a basin with agitation bumps too.
The problem I have with my Maytag top loader is that after a while it starts making noise in the spin cycle no matter how I arrange the clothes
Is it just me, or does it seem that the commercial washers are the only proper washers Maytag (Whirlpool) still make since the 80's and 90's?
Hey there Eugene - thanks for your videos - very informative and balanced - just like a good washer. I still think though that an electrical mechanical timer is way better than digital ones. And here’s the reasons why: 1. the environment any washer works in is damp; 2. the detergent (whether powered or liquid) do indeed give off ions of itself into the atmosphere. These mix with the moisture in the air and voila - they get into digital contact points. Now remember, detergents are a base - they can oxidize metals quite easily. The electrical/mechanical timers last for years. The digital ones don’t . Period. They just are not isolated enough behind the control panel to avoid this deterioration; 3. Control: I can start and stop a cycle at will with an electrical mechanical timer. The digital ones are useless here. I can (if I so desire) stop a rinse fill of cold water (warm rinse not being an option on most top loaders these days) turn the control to wash/fill and fill the tub with warm or hot water. Then when it’s filled, I stop it and turn the control back to it’s rinse position. None of this can be done on any washer with digital controls. All the cycles are pre-determined. I do not like that about them. So there’s my two cents. Now - a penny for YOUR thoughts Eugene?
Absolutely
The lack of adjustable water levels would be the no go for me. I rarely wash extra large loads so I would have to fill the tub to the top on a medium or small size load. Using the normal cycle, it fills half way but does not give a deep rinse only spray rinses. I like to add softener so that’s also a no go.Other than those negatives for me it does have excellent washing ability and looks well built. There is a market for this, I’m sure you will sell plenty of these. Good luck and happy delivery’s.
How do you know the normal cycle is only a spray rinse? Was it mentioned in the video and I missed it? I agree, it ducks there are t more water level options. That’s the most important feature for me. If you could choose the level I would definitely buy this.
Katie S he said on the deep water cycles it fills for the rinses but on normal cycle it’s only spray rinses.
Did you listen to the same video I did? He said normal cycle has half tub wash fill and half tub rinse fill. No mention of spray rinse on normal.
Now that's a washer that washes clothes!!! the only thing that gets me is that why would people want a bigger tub then this??? People don't you understand that a bigger tub is not always good??? it only means that you would be allowed to fill it with more clothes and water which in turn has to put more strain on the motor causing it to break down or burn out all the more faster!!! When I was buying my washer, the salesman showed me a machine that would fit 14 pairs of jeans in one load and I told him yeah maybe dry but what happens when they all get wet? isn't that going to be kind of a strain on the motor??? and his reply was simply "Well" so I rest my case...
Robert Przybylowicz
Agreed 100% Robert. This washer has fine capacity. Whirlpool showed that they hadn't completely forgotten how to build a decent washer with great wash action .
It looks like Whirlpool is marketing these through independent dealers like speed queen does. Other places this is a special order.
I, guess more to load up to wash and more kg means more duvet size to put. I, think 🤔 that one of their reason & another more load to put more clothes to be washed easier etc. There Pros/Cons to everything.
I work out every day and I sweat a bunch. Then my clothes go in the hamper to sit for at least a day sometimes four or five days. Needless to say, they STINK!! My old LG front load could not clean them.
I just got this machine. I’m excited to see how it does.
Thanks for the video. I nearly got a SQ!! 😮
Per a recommendation for a TV show, do not PUT sweaty clothes in hamper...hang them somewhere til sweat dries...
Joseph Piazza I can see that that would definitely be the smart thing to do
@@josephpiazza97 Ieww, who wants to hang their smelly gym clothes??? My old top loader could clean ANYTHING!
@@marysmith4811 Great, this was a recommendation I heard on a TV show. Let it air out until sweat dries. You could just lie it on top of the hamper for a few hours BUT if your top loader clean it perfectly. you do not have to worry. Makes sense to me.
Can you please explain what the difference is between this model and the Maytag commercial mvwp576kw, besides the fact that the 576kw is 4 cubic feet whereas the other is 3.5? Any difference in performance at all? Thanks!
How are you bypassing the stupid lid lock on this model? I'd prefer to be able to add clothes and detergent while it's actually filling instead of it pausing the fill when I open the lid.

How are you keeping the lid open on the washer as you wash your clothes
Thats what I want to know
Does not Extract/spin enough our clothes well even after changing drain pump($pending tooo much on gas drying in dryer) I bought a new hotpoint washer which according to reviews leaves clothes "Powder dry
Hi! Will this machine fit a king sized bed comforter?
How does this washer compare with the older Speed Queen's top loaders? Are there any other model top loaders that would be comparable to the older Speed Queen's?
How can I cancel the lid lock permanently? Please help.
Better than the new Speed Queen!
This one is also belt drive. That's disappointing.
speed queen will go out of business. new regs and competition.
I agree I think the new speed queen sucks more than my washer as u see on my videos
@@Ihavetruth22 honestly I don't think regulations are the issue if this washer can get it right
Check out the new (May, 2019) new Speed Queen "Classic" TC5000WN model.
It has a Welling motor. Yes, this washer is assembled in USA, but Welling is a Chinese company. Is it any good? Will they last like the direct drives?
That's what I want to know.
Can you set the dial to 'drain and spin' at the end of a normal cycle to spin the clothes again? It might be helpful in cases of heavier clothes that require a second spin to help them dry. Thanks
You can but I'm not sure if this is an issue with my new machine but it turns the water on for a brief moment when you select that cycle, So trying to wring the clothes out more, it adds water first, pretty stupid. Other than that I really like this washer, it washes just like my old maytag which lasted me 18 years. Not bad.
0:21 you do have an extra rinse cycle.
I have to disagree with you on two things. 700RPM spin isn't very slow. My Speed Queen has a 710RPM spin my clothes comes out pretty dry. Only 30 mins in the dryer. The second one is no top loader can wash a Queen Size comforter. I have no issue washing my comforters in my machine. They roll over just fine with very little struggle. That's probably because I modified the fill knob to fill the washer to the rim of the tub.
how do you feel about the GTW685BSLWS?
Hi. I’m wondering which LG washer you are referring to in several of your videos, that you rate so well? And which direct drive washer are you referring to as well?
I’m really appreciating all your videos as seeing washers in action is what you can’t see in a store!!! And what a difference seeing that makes!!!
Can’t believe how pathetic these HE washers are, just barely wetting the few clothes in a “load” and they just SIT there, with just the drum spinning on some models!!
There must be a lot of people walking around in dirty clothes these days! 🙁🙄
I live far from you in Montreal Canada, so I can’t buy a machine from you, but thanks so much for all your videos! They are really helping me to decide which machines I don’t want, and hopefully deciding on the one I will actually buy!
(Do you do tests on dishwashers and fridges as well? I need those too!)
I love to have an new Maytag wAsher
40 gallons of water for a full load is pretty crazy. Wow!!!! That is a lot of water. Would double our water bill. Local dealer told me to "buy the Speed Queen TR5 or TR7. Either will wash your clothes really, really well" (for $1,000). With that washing action?? How????
How about 30% restocking fee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now you know why I'm nervous????? 30%!! I can't blame the guy. What does he do with customer returned machine?? He's not Lowe's or HOme Depot.
At this point, I think I'm going to try to buy the Maytag for $725 plus tax. If no go at that price, I guess I will buy LG front loader. I'm not buying another HE top loader. I have to have a machine immediately, as in tomorrow. Have to wash clothes!!
So, the Maytag is your go to machine now??? 40 gallons of water for one load is a lot of freaking water. Of course, I have no idea how much water my old Whirlpool used. It was Super Capacity, I think. When I called Whirlpool and asked the capacity of the old machine, I believe I was told something like 2.5 cubic feet. I have no idea how to calculate how much water that machine used. It had infinite water level control.
