Not hard to see how this could mislead a somewhat older shopper. -A | ||

I dont' think we'll see Maytag dropped anytime soon. I still think the majority of Americans have no idea they don't exist as an independent company anymore. While based on the same design, it seems that WP is doing more in cosmetics to make them look different. I really like their designs actually. This commercial example aside of course. lol

 It actually is the commercial version of the washer. They use a better main seal than the home version that fits tighter around the shaft. It also comes with a full 3 years parts & labor warranty and a 10 year motor parts warranty. I have this pair on the floor, but I haven't sold one yet. The dryer is the 27" version of the typical WP dryer. I'm not overly thrilled with the looks, though.
As for SQ, I don't want to offend anyone here, but I don't get the fanboy crush on having a metal outer tub. Yes, it seems like it's built heavy duty. BUT, I've seen so many outer tubs rust through from many different brands. A coin or other piece of metal can get trapped and sit there and cause a rust hole. In fact, I just had a newer Alliance SQ in here that had a rust hole starting in the outer tub amongst a bunch of other problems. | ||

For a top loading washer the outer tub is really just a big bucket. Making it out of plastic is likely a good thing longevity wise. As long as the plastic tub doesn't have to support the spin bearing forces it will outlast everything but stainless steel.
For a front load machine I am a bit more leery of a plastic outer tub since it likely has to endure all the out of balance forces during spin. Still there are scads of front machines out there with all plastic outer tubs that have lasted more then a decade now. Its quite possible that my dislike of a plastic outer tub is unfounded. Have to ask the service people what they see failing. | ||

that agipeller design is just an add on post...for two reasons, for loading, as some people could not wrap their mind around the idea of leaving the center open while placing clothes in quadrants around the tub, and two, to house the softener dispenser in place of the downy ball.....
and probably the only video around showing it in action.... | ||

it's in the eye of the beholder you know... Poor washerdude. He starts a discussion about a machine he thinks is attractive and people start throwing rocks! I'll admit as far as appearance it does seem a little Spartan. Maybe it just needs a shot of something...

Those are the commecial units available to laundromats. Lowe's had a WP one with the coin box on it. You can order it without and they sell them to residential customers too. GE used to have a commercial set too, but I believe it's been discontinued. It was rather cool...basically a Hydrowave with an electronic control board.

Looks..
.
good from here, commercial lookin' enough. If you're fussy about lots of settings not in evidence...well maybe it's time to think about why you came to be in a laundromat in the first place and start being thankful it's a new machine yer washin' in. We do most of our washing in a laundromat btw and am so glad there is a good one on our block. This post was last edited 08/14/2015 at 16:39 | ||

Well, Whirlpool DID hijack Maytag.......
I'd give my left *ahem* to be able to waltz into an appliance store and purchase this entire lineup.

A third with clothes There are plenty of videos, even from people on here, who use HE washers with 4+ft³ and fill them up. And most say they are pretty damn OK (if used with little basic care). And if you mean the compacted down load after soaking: A traditional TL just inflates the space between the items with water, thus makeing the load seem bigger again. | ||

I don't see how that relates to the capacity question. | ||
