Maytag 6-cu ft High Efficiency Impeller Top-Load Washer (Chrome Shadow) ENERGY STAR

Super Bummed

I purchased this until after much research, a recommendation from a friend and of course, loving the load size. I have 3 small girls and I do so much laundry each week, I needed something to make it more efficient. After the 30 days in which I could have returned to Lowes the unit went off balance when I washed a pillow in it. The unit did not correct itself so I had to call out service. Maytag sent out a company that was terrible. The man argued that it wasnt broken and then when I proved it th...

It works if you work it...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Mine has been in service for about 90 days now and I love it. It has been perfectly reliable and has made doing laundry (almost) fun! During this time I have learned several things that may help someone reading this. 1.) It does not work anything like an old-fashion agitator washer. If you buy one and try to use it in the way you're used to you'll have poor results. Read and follows the instructions for loading (critical) and cycle use. ...

Dedicated Circuit needed?!

We bought this machine in April of 2017. Worked amazing until about March of 2018. After having about 10-15 technicians out (and we have extended warranty), they told us everything from: Your using too much soap, your not using enough soap, you have too many clothes in there, you can only wash 5 pants and 5 shirts. We bought this machine because it was the largest on the market! 6.2 Family of 10. It worked amazing until about 9 months after getting it. The latest resolution they told ...

Wrinkles, wrinkles, wrinkles!

I have owned a Maytag front loader for years so when I needed a new washer for a second home, Maytag was the only brand I seriously considered. My space woildn't work for a front loader so I bought the Bravos. It works ok except for the wrinkles. No matter what cycle I choose, my clothes are tied up in knots and the wrinkles are not removed in the dryer. I am unwilling to iron everything I wash and I now pause the machine and remove shirts and tops so they can drip dry without spinning. This is...

Don't Buy

I bought this washer/dryer set and was pretty disappointed from the start. I thought the "power wash setting" was going to be a quick cycle but turns out to be one of the longest cycles. No cycle is less than 50min long. I was trying to tough it out until I removed two shirts with white stains on them. They looked like sweat stains but can only assume they are detergent stains left behind because the clothes don't fully submerge even on the deep water wash. And the dryer isn't much better! ...

Huge capacity...Disappointing wash cycle.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this washer more than 2 weeks ago and have not been impressed to say the least. The capacity is what caught my attention with this clothes washer along with the Maytag reputation. I've also never had a washer that that was high efficiency and also didn't have an agitator until now. It would appear as though the agitator really is necessary.You basically throw your laundry in, it gets a little damp or maybe a little wet, you see a li...

Great when it worked

Purchased from Lowes in September of 2016. Took two months to get in stock. It was a great washer while it worked. Now about three years into ownership the washer started having random issues shutting down. Called Maytag for that fantastic 10-year warranty that they have advertised all over the machine on badges of pride. Well, it only covers the basket and motor. They charged me $150 for a service call to only tell me for $368 they can fix the first problem and then diagnose a second problem wi...

Doesn’t Clean!!!!!!

I have had this machine for about a year and absolutely hate it!!! The cycles take soooooo painfully long and then to top it off it doesn’t clean at all!!! The whites come out dirtier then when I put them in. I have had to hand clean socks because the wash cycle did literally nothing. I have done what they recommend and not use too much detergent, do the wash cleanings cycles with affresh tablets and I even tried smaller loads (which defeats the purpose of large capacity) and it still doesn’t cl...

Biggest disappointment ever!

Does not clean the clothes at all! The minute the clothes are in the sun or get slightly damp they smell dingy and moldy. Doesn’t even agitate enough to dissolve the laundry soap that I accidentally dropped on my towels. Left bright blue stains on the clothing. Tears holes in the clothes when you use the power wash cycle. Jeans somehow get tied up into knots. I have to wash my husbands work clothes three times to get them marginally clean and this process takes at least three hours. Wors...

Marginal Design and Forget Knit Wardrobe

I purchased this washer and the matching dryer last year from a "big box store." It is my first "modern" washer. Here is what I have learned: 1. Measure the washer and the dryer and your available space carefully. The washer and dryer are not the same dimensions and they protrude much farther from the wall than the older style washer and dryer. I have a small laundry room and this is significantly cut into my space. 2. This washer is incredibly hard on clothes (yes, I know how to use t...
