Maytag Maxima - Direct Drive?
Comments (17)thanks beekat. I looked at the new whirlpool models (94hex, 95hex, 97hex) to compare to the maytag (6000 series only here in canada) ones. The inside tub for both dryer and washer look identical. With the whirlpool from last year models that were german made .. this year they all say Assembled in USA so i am not sure what that means if the parts are from germany or mexico and then assembled in us? I know there was a lot of fuss in the media about whirlpool making a lot of stuff in germany and bringing in to the us so this maybe a stunt to shut everyone up. In terms of quality i suppose whoever buys these will let us know if they are any issues. The only reason i did not go with the german made whirlpool from last years line (being cleared out now) is because the dryer is not stainless steele....See MoreWashing Down Comforters/Pillows in a Maytag Bravos washer
Comments (12)* Also, doesnt the Bravos have a soak cycle on it? Yes, it does. You can choose how long you want it to last, according to soil level. And you can let it continue until it's through, or you can Pause the washer and let laundry soak longer. * I thought in the owners manual it said it does, but it will drain and stop after the soak cycle runs. Yes, it does, when the Soak cycle finishes. * I actually wash my work jeans and T shirts on sanitary cycle in my HE3T with soak cycle. The Bravos 850 also has a sanitary cycle. * How hot does the sanitary cycle her in yours, anyone know? I've never taken its temp, but it gets REALLY hot. I think the manual tells how hot it gets. * Its nice of you to remember me Mara, Im not on here much anymore, been working a pile of mandatory overtime all summer long :( but now I can pay cash for the new set when decide on what to get. Me too, gates -- working longer hours. Glad to know you're getting overtime! The increased pay sure does help. It is SO NICE to be able to pay cash for appliances and other big purchases. * One more question..what exactly is the "deep rinse"? DOes it fill more than the wash cycle or just not the spray rinse that is on the bravos. I rarely use the spray rinse, simply because I must use the deep rinse in order to use fabric softener or vinegar (or both). I'm assuming it does use more water than the spray rinse. My dd has used the spray rinse when she's washed her clothes (usually on the Quick Wash, when she's in a hurry for a particular outfit). Her clothes came out fine. I hope this helps! And I hope you get a break from so many hours soon -- after you've paid cash for the new set, of course. ;)...See MoreMaytag Maxima
Comments (7)I am using liquid Tide Free & Gentle HE. I had used this same detergent by accident in my old TL. I used to usually use the non HE Tide Free & Gentle. I am washing mainly cottons and cotton blends, such as t-shirts and jeans or kids clothing. I am using the wrinkle control setting on my dryer. It says that it uses a heat setting of medium to low to prevent wrinkles. I wonder if it is over drying because the t shirt hems are wrinkled up and some of the collars seem puckered. I tried setting the dryer to 15% less dry, but that didn't seem to help. I am ging to try 30% less dry next. There is also an Eco setting that takes longer to dry that I haven't used yet. My hose from my washing machine goes into a laundry tub (sink). I have a lint trap on the end of the hose to prevent lint from going into my tub. There now is a lot of fine lint in the laundry tub that I did not have with my FL. I have not seen any lint in the actual washing machine. I am certain that my clothes did not have these problems prior to using these machines. I am really particular how I wash my laundry and I have owned many different washing machines and dryers including a FL washing machine....See MorePurchased a new washer - Maytag Bravos XL steam MVWB755DW
Comments (14)Perhaps that is why we haven't run into any problems. I watched videos on how to use the HE TLs and downloaded the user guide onto my phone before even buying the machine. 45 minute drive home, so plenty of time to read though it and the installation guide before we ever even unloaded it. I think reading the reviews and really paying attention to the negatives was key as well - we knew what not to do or what to figure out the proper way to do. Piling clothes in loose heaps with nothing in the middle seemed to be key. Like I say, we've done quite the variety of loads and haven't had a single problem. And I don't necessarily sort. Room in the load and I have one dirty towel - throw it in, too! Jeans with undies and dress shirt - the more the merrier! I'm going to load it properly, use the correct amount of detergent, set the machine right, and then I am not going to mess with it again until the load is done. So far, this machine is letting me do that just fine. (Doing a soak or pre-rinse is excluded - I don't mind that type of 2-step process.)...See MoreUser
