Hey all,
I finally quit hemming and hawing about pulling the Whirlpool Direct Drive out of service in favor of my 1993 Maytag. After much junk shifting, dryer moving, lots of swearing, and a lot of arm and lower back pain, the Whirlpool now lives under a sheet in the basement and the Maytag is sitting proudly in the laundry room where it has already done several loads of wash. I will be recording and uploading a video of the full cycle from fill to finish soon. Until then, some photos will have to do :) First pic is the Whirlpool coming out. Second is the Maytag going in. Third is the maiden spin. Fourth is the odd couple. Fifth is a glamour shot. | ||

Which do you prefer... And why? I have both an '84 'pool, and an '84 'tag, and I can't decide which one is my favorite lol. Keith | ||

This was a 2004 Direct Drive Whirlpool. Your 1984 belt drive is a much nicer machine, for sure!
I prefer the smooth silky sound of a belt drive washer to the steam engine-esque chunka-chunka-bang sound of the direct drive transmission. I also like the spin drain and spray rinses the Maytag does. In your case, Keith, neither washer is a bad choice! | ||
