When choosing a washing machine, the consumer can become overwhelmed with the amount of choice out there. There are so many producers, which may leave your head spinning. Some of the features that have made choosing the perfect machine confusing are the combination of initial cost, efficiency, and cleaning ability. Maytag offers choices that will appeal to the consumer on any of these levels.
Some important things to consider are what features are important to you when looking for a washing machine? Do you have a large family? Then the cubic feet are going to be highly important. Do you wash delicates? If so, you will want a machine that has a reputation for washing delicates well. Do you prefer efficiency? Is space a factor? Do you have different types of laundry you wash? What colors appeal to you? What kind of connections do you have? These are all important questions to consider before you start your search.
Maytag’s Centenial Top Load Washer is the most economic version available initially. It features a wide opening lid and super size capacity. It is also made with commercial grade parts. You can pay a little more and get models that offer additional features, such as an additional rinse feature or two speed motors, as well as selecting extra options during the wash cycle. Some of the things to consider with a top loading machine with an agitator is that is uses the most water, can become unbalanced fairly easily, and because the clothes have to go around the agitator it can hold less laundry (expect about 12-16 pounds). On the plus side – it is much easier to add things to the laundry in the middle of the cycle.
