I was toying with the idea of getting a 'Chairman Mao' Haier TL mentioned in another thread but OMG this Maytag for only $325? free shipping?? (Rainbow Appliance in NJ). I'm soo tempted to just go for it. Only available in yuckky 'bisque' but hey, for the price with NO shipping. Hmm...someone talk me out of this!!!

Hi Robert. It is a discontinued machine. I wonder how long parts will be available. In September, I paid $399.00 at Lowes for a Whirltag and it is a great machine. Ross |

Very cool Glen, I say use it. I have never seen one of these Neptune's in action in person. I think it was a cool design. I would say the last of the true Maytag engineering. Congratulations! Brent |

Congrats, Glenn! It's a fantastic drama washer - the very last original Maytag Corp. top-loading washer design. Top to bottom, this is a Maytag original and will certainly be a rarity someday. But what is the fun of having a washer if you can't experience the joy of washing? Use it in good health and enjoy!

Any similarity in cabinet design on the CHAIRMAN and the NEPTUNE TL? |

These were Maytag designed, made by Maytag in a plant in South Carolina (closed before Whirlpool took over). |

didn't see that the second time around, white is $100 more. Btw, went back to my local BIG Lots - the exact Mao is still there, now marked down to $279. But, a quick peek inside and I see it is missing the inner lid - so, that's a tip off it's been around the block I think - its out of the carton already,too

Interesting difference between the Maytag and the Haier models, it seems that the Haier has the plates lined up with each other while the Maytag has the plates lined up opposite to each other... With the way the transmission works in these machines, the alignment of the disks cannot be changed, Haier on the left, Maytag on the right:
