Maytag Commercial Grade High-Efficiency Top-Load Washer & Gas Dryer Set

Basic machine not built with quality standards

We purchased The Maytag Commercial-Grade Residential Agitator Washer is a basic washer with no frills. It does clean our clothes and the tub is larger than our previous washer. There are no extras "perks" on this machine, which is what I thought I wanted. However, there are cons. The presoak feature has a set amount of time which is short and cannot be modified. If you need to soak heavily soiled items for more than the set time, there is no way to modify the time that is built into the mac...

Fast, Fills Up, Quirky Functionality

Our 1980 washer kicked the bucket recently, and we were looking for something similar to it. That narrowed it down to this model and one other, more expensive model. The cheaper models were sort of close, but missed in a few areas.If I had the money, I'd go for the SQ washer instead, after knowing what I do now. As for this washer, it looks decent. It's not the flashiest thing, but it's also not the ugliest in the showroom. It has a decent industrial look, and the tub looks fairly nice. It's al...

Owned one for 3.5 years

Positives: Great washing power due to excellent agitation. Simple controls. Five year warranty. Simple enough that you can fix it yourself if you need to. Negatives: Too costly for what it is. Cheap plastic geared parts - agitator not built to last. Maytag service was terrible - negating the warranty upside IMHO. I bought this model washer back in mid-2018. Take that as a grain of salt when reading this - if parts changed or were improved since then. I wanted a basic, no-frills top loading wa...

The Good, the Bad and the Basic

This Maytag (manufactured by Whirlpool) MVWP576KW replaced a reliable well performing 15 year-old GE Profile top loading washer which failed due to a leaky transmission. The GE could not be repaired due to replacement parts being discontinued by the manufacturer. Over 15 years and never one service call for the GE washer. While shopping for a worthy replacement it became obvious that current washers leave much to be desired in both performance, reliability and simplicity. The gist of this review...

The ONE to get. Best of the big box washers!

No washer available in the big box stores is made like your grandma's or even mom's was. However, this ONE is the best of the big box offerings. This washer has a dual action agitator. The agitator is two pieces where the top and bottom half move independently. The tub and agitator also move in separate directions. This provides the best wash experience of the top loads. Clothing is moved down, in, and through the water. Less wear and tear with clean clothes! This is different than Maytag's Pow...

1st spline hub failed then gearbox/transmission!

I purchased this machine because it’s rated as a commercial machine but in less than 18 months it wouldn’t spin out small loads of laundry it would struggle to spin and the tub would shake off balance. The only way I could get the machine to spin was to do a large heavy load of laundry the extra weight enabled the machine to spin ok. I researched it and found that the Spline Hub (which is made of cheap plastic) failed and the tiny splines which mate with the metal gear box shaft, were ground dow...

Highly Disappointed Customer

Stopped spinning out after ONLY 2 years, 2 months! This is the 3rd appliance purchased from Lowe's that I've had major issues with! The first occurred several months ago. Although I was refunded what I paid for the appliances with the extended warranties, I ended up losing money because the products are more expensive now, only 2 years later. On 09/23/2021 this washer was delivered and installed by Lowe's staff. It's only 11/2023 and the washer does not spin out and makes a loud noise. I file...

Maytag MVWP576KW1, or is it a Whirlpool

After delivery and one wash cycle (taking about 35 minutes, no extra rinse). This washer was to replace a Maytag Centennial. If the Centennial was rated a 5, as it gave many good years of service before starting to develop a transmission oil leak (and it is still functional) then the new and improved model Maytag Commercial would rate about 3.5. The wash cycle is more of a slosh cycle. The amount of water fill is adequate on "Max Fill". During fill for wash and rinse it spins the drum a lit...

Good washer, at least among the options nowadays

Overall the washer is better than the alternatives available nowadays. It fills the tub completely with water and has an effective center agitator. I love that the panel is no fuss. It's knobs, nothing digital, easy to select and understand. The lid only locks during the spin cycle, which means you can add clothes as it's filling and even as it's washing. It's not a huge washer, but because the tub fills up all the way, you can pretty much stuff the thing full and everything still comes out clea...

Doesnt do a good job of spinning water out of load

The Maytag technician arrive on time and was very good at his job. My top loader washer Model: MVWP575GW1 leaves my loads wet compared to my old Samsung. You can feel the additional dampness in the clothes as you remove them, So, I asked if he could increase the spin time to further get more water out of my load. He said that wasn’t an option because engineers programmed that into the control board which he had no power to change. In order to spin more water out of my clothes I have been s...
