To all other Maytag dealers and service person/s:

Please check out all the changes that are coming our way for 1966! My gosh I'm almost too excited to even flip the page! Time to meet the New Generation of Maytags.

(Warning: for all Frigidaire repairmen, I am advising that you read no further in this post, for the changes that have been made in 1966 for all new Maytags may cause jealousy or *gasp* cause an unburdening to desire to come to land of no rollers!)

Oh my, so glamorous! Love the new white push buttons on this washers. Makes the A906 look stately!

Check out this new water injector! Finally no more spillage from the old one!

Wow, what is this about 63 OPM and a 412 spin speed on the Wash 'n Wear cycle?

Finally, the listened to the complaints! Front access panel that doesn't take 20 minutes to reinstall!

Love that hinged top panel. Very handy!

Okay, okay. The swing-out water valve access may have been taken from GM, but we'll take it!

Time to meet the new dryers! Glad to see they stayed with the HOH dryer. So *cough* easy to work on...

Interesting, just one timed dry model?

Man, the new 806 pair would be stunning! Hopefully I'll be able to convince the wife that we need a new set.

Better read up on the new warranty information.

$1.50 for a repair book? They've got to be out of their minds!

So if I buy an A606, I get shorted a half minute on the wash cycle compared to the low end models? What a rip-off!

Yes, but you get the Extra Capacity tub - AND, the Power Fin agitator!

No, Not Short-Changed At All

TOL model offers both a soak and pre-wash cycle. BOL and MOL models only offer one or the other, mainly a soak cycle.

Timers only have a certian number of "slots" as it were, something has to give.

I was kidding about the half minute. Although I did find it interesting that the 806 had the shorter wash time. As Launderess said, I guess there were only so many timer increments to go around, so to speak. (Assuming that all the models except the 906 used the same basic timer mechanism.)
