Maytag MHWE500 front load washer
Designed, developed, and manufactured with Maytag Commercial Technology, the Maytag MHWE500 is seen as a dependable washer that can rival the quality of other leading brands. With a quick review of its impressive features, it may seem like the perfect washer.
 Product OverviewThe MHWE500 is a Maytag Performance Series Front Load washing machine that has many of the features from a high-end washer. With a volume capacity of 4.1 cubic feet, the Maytag MHWE500VW has enough room to fit just about any type of garment that will be thrown into it. The front-loading design also means that consumers can save on water and electricity bills. Whether they want a washer for residential or commercial use, the MHWE500VW has features, options, and technologies to accommodate their needs. Sensi-Care Wash SystemThe Sensi-Care Wash System makes use of a water channeling system to ensure that 100% of the water, detergent, and laundry products are mixed properly before being added to the load. In effect, users get cleaner clothes, an efficient cleaning system, and a gentle wash for their laundry.High-Efficiency Wash SystemThe front-loading design and the 4.1 cubic feet of capacity help to save time, energy, water, and money.Heating Element and Automatic Temperature ControlThe Maytag MHWE500 comes with a built-in water heater that makes use of sensors to analyze the load and water temperature. Depending on the settings and cycle type, the washer will adjust the water temperature for optimal cleaning conditions.Smooth Balance Balance SystemThe balance system on this washer makes use of six springs to minimize the vibration and noise generated during operation.Auto Water LevelWith two sensors, the washer is able to monitor the size and composition of the load, as well as the suds level. The washer then automatically adjusts the amount of water being used in the cycle to ensure that the right amount of water is used for an effective and efficient washing.Steam CleanThe Steam Clean unit heats water to 157 degrees Fahrenheit to eliminate bacteria, remove tough stains, and sanitize the clothes. Steam is also used to raise temperatures and clean the washer itself. Dirt, residue, bacteria, and other residue is cleaned from the washer with the Clean Washer Cycle. This is an important procedure for eliminating residue that may cause odors during wash cycles (a common problem with other front-loading washers).Smart DispensersThe Maytag MHWE500VW also has a Smart Dispenser system that practically automates the entire washing procedure so users don't have to keep coming back to add bleach, fabric softener, or detergent. The washer automatically dispenses laundry products at the right time to ensure a thorough wash for the clothes. AdvantagesThe greatest advantage of the Maytag MHWE500 is its efficiency. With a front-loading washer that has a capacity of 4.1 cubic feet, consumers will be running fewer, larger loads in a washer that uses less energy and water than top-loading washers. The auto water level system helps conserve water. This washer also helps consumers save on detergent and softener because of the auto dispensing units. The dispensing units make efficient use of laundry products so clothes will come out fresh, clean, and smelling good. The extended spin cycle on this washer spins clothes until they are close to dry, meaning less time in the dryer and more savings on the electric bill. Also, users get to enjoy a wide variety of cycles, options, and settings so they can dial in the perfect configuration for every load. Another advantage is that the Maytag MHWE500VW comes in white or evergreen.  DisadvantagesConsumers who are accustomed to using fabric conditioners or other waxy laundry products may be forced to change to another type of product. Waxy laundry products may leave too much residue on the sensors, resulting in a different reading than the actual washer conditions. The rubber area around the door also requires extra maintenance to prevent build-up of residue, which often leads to a mildew smell. Wiping down the rubber with vinegar and running the self-cleaning cycle should remedy this problem. Some consumers are also disappointed to find out that the evergreen version of the washer costs $100 more than the white version.  Final ThoughtThe Maytag MHWE500 is a good washer with great features, numerous options, and a variety of useful and practical technologies. It may take consumers a while to get used to how the washer works and how to take advantage of all of its settings, but the learning curve isn't too steep. Once they get it down, this washer can handle almost any type of washing task they throw at it. The price tag may be a bit out of reach, but the great savings on the energy and water bills make it well worth it.
