My new washer.
In 1972 my grandmother bought a new Maytag washer. I inherited it in 1981 and used it until this March. When I needed to replace it, of course I chose another Maytag. Love it!

Super satisfied!
We just bought our washer 3 weeks ago (?) and I absolutely love it. Only thing is, I'm short, so I have to use a pair of silicone tongs to get the clothes out of the very bottom! Hoping to buy the matching dryer soon. Very happy!

swish. swish. swish. I see water in there.
You know that feeling when you need to get out of a bad relationship, but are afraid of the break-up? That’s where I’ve been. I'm coming out of a 15-year marriage with front loading washing machines (note the plural). The most recent I fell for was a 7 year old, $1200, LG. All this time I could never admit that I was matched with the wrong appliance. I convinced myself that I had clean clothes (despite their stench) and that I had the best model, despite the numerous reoccurring problems like leaks and broken button springs and bad door seals. I didn’t mind adding vinegar and the 2-1/2 hour wash cycles and clothes that came out with soap residue. After all, I was saving water!! and LG said I couldn’t do any better.
And then we started planning the remodel of our 1984 laundry room. And we saw the front loader for what it was. And it was time. It was time to get a divorce from that front loader. So I went on a mission to find the perfect replacement. I did months of research, and read reviews, and consumer report recommendations. I even watched videos (eye roll). I looked at every single brand, from Speed Queen to Electrolux. I wanted to find the closest thing to the "old fashion" machine my mom had (note the singular). So I knew I wanted a top loader with agitator; I wanted my clothes to swish in water; I wanted a soap, bleach, and softener dispenser; I wanted to be able to pause the machine and open the lid mid-cycle; and I wanted not just a rinse and spin cycle, but a spin-only cycle. We have two gigantic dogs that slobber, two kids (who also slobber), and king size sheets, so capacity was important (our LG was 3.7 cubic feet and met our needs pretty well).
After a lot of deliberation, it came down to the Maytag MVWB865. I ordered it in February (on sale) and we just installed it yesterday, June 13 (think DIY remodel). I cannot stop looking into the lid, watching all of our stuff swishing around, in water. And the capacity. Oh my gosh! I didn’t think I would appreciate the extra cubic feet, but it blows my mind. I think I could crawl inside and still have room for laundry: I washed 6 XL dog bed covers in one load with deep fill. Everything swished, in water. I did 2 weeks' worth of darks (jeans, hoodies, sweatpants, socks etc., for the whole family) with deep fill. Everything swished, in water. I did whites. I did mediums. I did blankets. And I kept staring into the lid, watching our stuff, swishing around, in water.
Who knew water and swishing could be this satisfying? But then, when you show your 12 year old his freshly laundered socks, and ask him if they seem cleaner, and his answer is a facial expression with a jaw drop, you know you married up by buying this Maytag.
All I can say is I wish I had broken up sooner…
Side bar: For those of you who are traumatized by the long cycle times and reporting loud noises, I was actually pleasantly surprised. We were so used to the exceedingly long cycles with the front loaders (never less than 90 minutes), that I found this machine’s far better at barely an hour, of which about 20 minutes were pure swishing time. And I couldn’t even tell the machine was running it was so quiet, even while extracting water on the highest setting.
