Product Overview
The MHWE300 is part of the Performance Series Front Load washing machines offered by Maytag. A load capacity of 4.1 cubic feet means that this washer can help save more time, effort, and money by running fewer but larger loads, instead of running numerous small loads.
This washer has numerous features and technologies that help make life easier for users. As a front-loading washer, this machine takes advantage of gravity to make efficient use of water and energy. Here are its key features.
Smooth Balance System and Dynamic Off-Balance Detection
The Maytag MHWE300 uses two sensors to monitor the load size and the weight distribution of the load. With the information gathered from the Dynamic Off-Balance Detection sensors, the washer adjusts the six-spring Smooth Balance System to decrease the movement, vibration, and noise produced by the washer.
Maytag Commercial Technology
As a Performance Series washer, the MHWE300VW is made with Maytag Commercial Technology and commercial grade parts. This means that consumers can enjoy a durable, sturdy, and long-lasting build that is tough enough to handle commercial use.
Automatic Water Level and Temperature Control
The Maytag MHWE300VW has a number of sensors to keep track of the load type, water level, detergent and suds levels, temperature level, and load composition. The information collected from these sensors are then processed by the machine to make automatic adjustments to the water level and temperature.
Not only does this help consumers by taking care of the tedious task of guessing what temperature and water level to set, but it also helps achieve an optimal wash cycle while conserving water by using just the right amount.
Heating Element
To aid the Automatic Temperature Control, this washer has its own 1,000-watt heating unit that makes effective use of a step-by-step cleaning process. Water is first warmed and mixed with detergent, after which, the water is heated through to the right temperature for the rest of the wash cycle.
Sensi-Care Wash System and Smart Dispensers System
The Maytag MHWE300VW features two technologies to ensure that garments will get an optimal wash while still being gentle and sensitive on clothes.
First, the Sensi-Care Wash System ensures that 100% of the water to be used in the washing is well mixed with the laundry products. Only after the water and laundry products are mixed will the machine gently spray the mixed water from the top of the washer into the center of the load. Throughout the cycle, the Smart Dispenser System slowly distributes any bleach, detergent, or fabric softener in the the dispenser compartments.
The Sensi-Care and Smart Dispenser systems ensure that the clothes will get the best possible wash with the efficient use of water and laundry products.
Steam Clean and Clean Washer Cycle
This washer can heat up water to 157 degrees Fahrenheit to create steam that helps clean clothes well. The steam can take out sudden stains, kill bacteria, and remove dust mites from the garments.
Steam is also used in the Clean Washer Cycle, which is an automated system used to clean the drum and the inside of the washer.

After inputting the options and cycle settings with the easy to use electronic control panel and dial, there's not much to worry about.
