Maytag MVWC300VW top load washer
The Maytag MVWC300VW is a washing machine that has a lot to offer. Made with Maytag Commercial Technology, this washer is designed for durability that will last for years. With 3.2 cubic feet of capacity, the Maytag MVWC300VW has enough room to fit most types of garments. Another advantage of the SuperSize Capacity of this washer is that you get to save on the bills by running fewer but larger loads, instead of running numerous small loads.
Although this washer has a good load capacity, it is still a top-loading washer, which means that it uses more energy and water as compared to the more recent front-loading designs.

Product Overview
Commercial-Grade Drive System
The Maytag MVWC300VW is made with the Commercial-Grade Drive System, which is made up of components that are of high quality and high durability. In fact, Maytag has gone as far as to test the system to twice the normal lifespan of the washer. This basically means that you won't have to worry about this washer breaking down as easily as other washers.
Numerous options and settings
Another great feature of the MVWC300VW is the variety of options and settings that are made available to the user. With a total of 10 cycles and four temperature levels to choose from, you have more control over your washer and your wash cycle. Throw your load in, get the right amount of laundry product in, set your wash cycle, and all you have to do is wait for your clothes to come out clean. Aside from the four temperature levels that you can choose from, the Maytag MVWC300VW also employs an Automatic Temperature Control, which adjusts the temperature automatically, depending on the load and cycle types.
Porcelain-on-Steel Basket
Maytag makes use of a Porcelain-on-Steel design for the washer basket. The advantage to using such materials is that the basket is durable, easy to clean, and smooth. The smoothness of the basket ensures that your clothes don't get snagged and ruined when loading, washing and unloading.
QuietSeries 100 Sound Package
The Maytag MVWC300VW is built with a QuietSeries 100 Sound Package that helps minimize the vibration, movement and sound produced by the washer when in operation. In effect, you won't have to worry about disturbing
clunks and bangs when you run your washer at night or when visitors are over.
Bleach and Fabric Softener Dispensers
Another great feature on this washer is the dispenser system. The Maytag MVWC300VW makes use of a bleach dispenser and a fabric softener dispenser to ensure that your load is treated with the right amount of laundry product at the right time for an optimal wash.
Advantages
While some people may think of the top-loading design of the Maytag MVWC300VW as a disadvantage, for others it can be an advantage. Those who are accustomed to working with traditional top-loading washers will probably be happy to know that this washer has a similar design. The top-loading design also means that clothes are less likely to come out with a moldy or mildew smell, which is sometimes the case with front-loading washers.
Another advantage of this washer is that it has many settings, but the controls are still simple and easy to use. Some of the new washers on the market can be a bit difficult to understand and use, but that's not the case with this easy-to-use washer.
Some of the other advantages of this washer is that it has a large tub space and it operates relatively quietly.
Disadvantages
While some people have claimed that their Maytag MVWC300VW works quietly and steadily, others complain about the washer making too much noise and movement. In some cases, the noise and movement is caused when users accidentally leave the rear metal feet of the washer on. These metal feet are normally used to keep the washer stable during shipping and delivery, but they are meant to be taken before using the washer.
Another disadvantage of this washer is that it was made by Maytag and, according to some people, Maytage doesn't have very good customer service.
It's not a front-loading washer, which means it uses more electricity and water.
Final Thought
The Maytag MVWC300VW is a decent washer with a good set of features and options to deal with regular washing needs. Built with commercial-grade components and technologies, you can be sure that this washer is going to be quite durable. Still, customers have complained about a number of issues, so be sure to test this unit out before you think of buying it. Anyone looking for a top-loading washer that has all of the basic functions will probably be happy with this washer, but those looking to save more on utility bills may want to go with a front-loading washer instead.
