Maytag Epic MHWZ400TQ Front load Washer 3.7 cu ft
For those who don't need to wash the drapes every week in one big batch, the Maytag MHWZ400TQ may be a good choice. Though the Maytag MHWZ400 isn't as large as its 4 cu. ft. contemporaries, its 3.7 cu. ft. drum packs in a lot of features that are as effective as those found in large capacity washers.
Product Overview
Washer Highlights
The Maytag MHWZ400TQ is impressive even at first glance. This front loader has a heavy duty die-cast door hinge that makes loading easier. Its rubber-coated inset pocket handle ensures that the user has a firm grip on it as well. It has a powdercoat-on-steel Spillsaver top and a Smooth Balance suspension system that keeps everything in place during operation. The QuietSeries 300 sound package keeps the machine quiet.
Interior Highlights
The new Rainfall Clean Wash system with SensiCare technology, ensures prewash and stain cycle, dirt, stains, and odors are rinsed out during the first cycle by using only clean water. The rainfall effect lets the water cascade naturally to preserve the color and quality of fabrics better. This feature gives savings on energy and detergent. For people who prefer a clean and soap-free scent, an extra rinse cycle can be programmed.
The IntelliTemp automatic temperature control, determines the temperature of the water used to soak, wash, and rinse the load, depending on the type of fabric or the weight of the load.
The IntelliFill automatic water level sensor gauges the right amount of water for the load and adjusts this for every load.
10 different cycles (sanitary, whites, super, normal, rapid wash, delicate, handwash, spin only, rinse and spin, clean washer)
The 8-hour delay start option means you can leave the laundry soaking for a few hours before washing.
The variable speed 1/3 HP high torque motor operates at up to 1100 RPM maximum spin speed. The MaxExtract option found on selected cycles also allows users to have dryer and almost moisture-free clothes after spinning.
Exterior Highlights
Its control panel is easy to operate and decipher, even giving users an estimated time remaining display.
Users can add extra items just in time when the Add-A-Garment indicator tells them to. Though cycles are timed according to load, when users need to speed things up a little, they can use the adjustable end-of-cycle signal.
This washing machine also has a control panel lock out function that proves useful should curious toddler fingers or unassuming cat's paws land on them and change the settings.
The 3-tray dispenser drawer will help scoop in the amount that's needed for the load, dispensing it evenly throughout the cycle.

Advantages
Since it is smaller than most washers, the Maytag MHWZ400TQ, at 3.7 cu. ft. is perfect for people who live alone or have small families. It can perform most of the average laundry duties in a small household while being noise-free and space-efficient at the same time.
It is ENERGY STAR certified, which means that buyers could also get rebates (if available in the area).
Disadvantages
The main drawback is price. The retail price is at approximately $850 from most dealers and distributors.
Though it may work with other dryers, the Maytag MHWZ400TQ works better with the MEDZ400TQ dryer.
