Maytag® Laundry

To choose the right appliance, consider your laundry needs and the space available in your laundry room. Top-load washers open from the top, meaning they only need clearance above the machine and don’t require extra space in front. These machines use either an impeller or an agitator to provide a powerful wash action that effectively tackles tough stains and heavily soiled clothes. Front-load washers can be narrower than top-load washers, and you can even stack some models on a dryer, making them ideal if you’re short on space. They’re also more energy efficient since they consume less water per wash cycle than top-load versions.

Washing machines with agitators use a central post that twists back and forth, rubbing against clothes to help break apart stains. In contrast, washing machines with impellers use a low-profile cone or disc that spins or rotates to rub clothes against each other and clean them. Agitator washers are typically more traditional, tend to use more water and may have shorter cycles, making them ideal for heavily soiled loads. Impeller washers often use less water and motion and may have larger capacities, making them perfect for bulky items or delicate clothing. Both offer effective cleaning, so your choice should depend on your specific preferences and laundry habits. 

Smart washers and dryers take advantage of an internet connection to help you tackle laundry, whether you’re at home or away. These appliances are available in top- and front-load configurations. You can control them remotely from an app on your phone, allowing you to monitor the progress of each load without having to go into your laundry room.
