Yes. They are everything that you would want from a "Dependable Care" machine. They did use the short stroke transmission introduced in 1989. BUT….the also used the Load Sensor agitator which was the best dual-action agitator ever commercially produced. Models you want to look for are the LAT2500 and and the LAV3600.
The last "REAL" Maytag came off the assembly line in Newton on the 22nd of December 2006.
It was an LAV3600 Signed inside the front cabinet by everyone involved in its manufacture. It is on display at the heritage museum in Newton. Here's a pic from my visit in 2012: |
