It is basically a rebaged KitchenAid Ensemble set, which is now discontinued. | ||

i took a look at them
These machines are exactly like the KitchenAid set with a Maytag name on them, i never thought that I would ever see that day. They are quite smart looking. I would have to tell you that they dryer was rather troubleing, as i could not easily open and close the door. The man at Homo Depot told me that they are all like that, he did not have a good expaination as to why.

Are there tangling issues on the Duet's? The only reason I can think of is that the drum speed is to slow. But tangeld things in a frontloader? Never seen, not even sheets!! | ||

No tangles I've had a Duet HT since May, and have not had any problem with tangled items. | ||

The reduced baffle size increases capacity, but I don't know what other effect, if any, it would have on washing. When I was at Nebraska Furniture Mart last weekend, they had two models of the Maytag Epic - TOL had lots of soak, prewash, soak&wash, blah-blah features and the step down model still had "super hot" water temp and sanitary cycle. The pricing of the lower-end model was pretty good, I thought, at only $1019 and $1129 for the TOL. They are nice looking machines, as were the KitchenAid versions and sitting side by side with the Neptune (Samsung) front-loaders, look to be far and away better in quality. I've had my Duets for going on three years with no troubles. | ||

Tangling in a front loader Askomiele, Maybe because you live in Europe, you probably did not have the experience of washing in a Westinghouse Laundromat with the tub that tilted to the back. It made ropes of clothes, especially sheets. Tumbler, my Duet is one of the first machines and with a large load, it tangles. Tom | ||

My KitchenAid Ensemble has the baffles that are low-profile in the front of the tub and higher-profile in the back of the tub. I haven't seen tangling that was any worse than it was with the KitchenAid TL the Ensemble replaced, although I have noticed that in the higher water level cycles (i.e. Delicate) the low-profile baffles don't roll the clothes over if you're only washing a few items. The clothes just float there while the baffles swoosh underneath them. Luckily, I guess, I don't own too many delicates. :)

Maytag Disapointment
I was very disapointed that my Local Lowe's didn't have any Maytag Epics on display. I was extremely upset to see that the line of dryers that Maytag seems to be selling along side their matching top loaders are a bunch of bastard dryers. I checked them out, and they're Alliance Laundry [speedqueen] clones!!!!!!! Blasphamy!!!! Whirlpool better straighten this out. | ||
