Ratings & Reviews for Maytag High Efficiency Agitator Large ( 4.7-cu ft ) Top-Load Washer ( Metallic Slate )

Lasted less than 5 years

I am extremely disappointed with this Maytag washer. I purchased it in July 2021 expecting a reliable, long-lasting appliance, but less than five years later it’s already failing. It recently started making a loud, grinding noise during the agitation cycle—something you absolutely should not hear from a machine that isn’t even that old. For a brand that markets itself on durability and quality, this is unacceptable. A washer is a major household investment, and it should last far longer than a ...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am disappointed in this machine as I don't feel as if it is getting clothes clean. I never overload as there are only 2 of us and I do laundry daily so never have large loads. Not sure machine is getting enough water, have done all the suggestions the manual instructed on this issue, but still not doing a good job.

Great washer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this washer with my new house. I love it . This is by far the best one ive ever owned. I love the cleaning cycle. I love the notices and texts I get when the clothes are done. I would recommend this machine to any one in the market.

Works great

Bearing failure on 3 year old machine

My washer has recently started getting very loud when it spins. Technician said the bearings were shot and the Gearcase needs replacing. Pump wire also broke at one point, won’t be getting anything Maytag again

Great washer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Awesome washer... clothes come out clean and not as wet as previous washer

Worst washing machine ever

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine is the worst appliance I have ever purchased. It is constantly being repaired and keeps on breaking again and again... If I could I would give it a -0 star

worst machine ever

Bought the Washer in October 2025, never had I such a disappointment., most of the time it does not wring out all the water from my clothes, so I have use the spin Cycle to have it spin out the water from the clothes. My old Maytag washer was 40 years old and the only thing I ever had to replace was a belt. I'm lucky if this Maytag will last 5 years really upset in the standards of Maytag is so low, this was not a cheap machine to buy, would never recommend this to anyone, and neve buy a Maytag...

Loud and extra long cycles

I've had this machine for over a year. It's loud, and does not seem to balance heavier loads very well. It also begins to agitate before it's filled with water. Basically agitating the clothes before there is enough water to wash them. Your cant' use the WIFI unless you have a slow speed, 2.5G. Also, the cycles are very long compared to my last washer. I would not buy this again and not sure I'd buy a Maytag.

Review top load washer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very satisfied with the Maytag top load washer. I hope it lasts as long as my old one from the 80's. Only thing I will say is that its louder than the previous washer I had - not a Maytag.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have owned this washing machine over a year now It does not wash sheets …I have to take them out reload them So the washer will spin. Out Of Balance Ridiculous It also tells me to wash with Affresh after I have loaded my clothes and soap - would not recommend this washer

Unhappy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This washer was purchased in July and so far the harness , control, capacitor, valve, cam, motor, actuator, and gear case have been replaced. I think this speaks for how unhappy I am.

No more checking!

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I received the washer as a gift and I absolutely love it! It's so easy to use! And I love the fact I can get notifications on my phone when the wash is done. So no more going to the basement to check if it's done!

Less than 2 years before bearing failure

My Maytag MVW6230HW3 washer i purchased in January, 2024 already has bad bearings. The spinning out mode is now very very loud. Never buying again.

Perpetually out of balance

Advertised as 4.7 cu ft, only half the capacity of the machine can be used without it going out of balance. Further, one needs to wash like items,, such as all jeans, all tops, all sheets, all towels or the machine will go out of balance. This despite four months of following the instructions of the manufacturer on how to load the machine, etc. And do not even attempt to wash a small sofa throw---out of balance. This entire machine is out of balance.

Good machine

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the washer but I don’t like the washer cleaning procedure especially after you have loaded the clothes already

Love a Washer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very suprised to love a washer so well because it cleans everything from delicates to extremely soiled clothes.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Love my washing machine. Efficient, quiet, user friendly.
