    How does this washer stand out? »


    This washer comes in $200 cheaper than the more expensive bravo X (MVWX700AG), but the cheaper price obviously takes away some key features such as the power wash system and allergen cycle. It also has an inferior sound package and less cycles. On a positive note it has the same energy efficiency, size and speed.

    Consumer Opinions »


    Pros
    “good price for what you get”


    Cons
    “I didn’t realize the amount of water used would be so low”
    “seems like I have to run the cycles twice to get clothes clean

    Maytag Warranty not that great …



    Available Colors »

    Worst washer ever
    by: Sandy

    This is the worst washer I have ever purchased.Also, the most expensive. It doesn't use enough water, and sometimes some things don't even get wet. If something is real dirty, it doesn't even come clean. I feel stuck with it. I would feel guilty selling or giving it away.I want a mid price standard washer. I don't think I would buy Maytag, because of this terrible washer.It makes me wonder if things that smell like detergent, are even clean. Hate it!! I even had a repairman here a couple months after I got it, he said that is how they are now.
