Does anyone have an opinion of or experience with this machine? This would be my choice of top loader. | ||

Maypool Is this a Whirlpool DD or the new Whirlpool electronic belt drive design underneath? Since it is 3.2 cubic feet, I'll bet it is a DD... | ||

How would this washer compare to the Maytag MVWC200XW? They're about the same price. Other than the control panel, I suspect there isn't much of a difference. Anyone care to comment? CLICK HERE TO GO TO qualin's LINK | ||

Maytag Commerical washer [ WP DD washer ] This is a WP DD washer, it is designed to look like an older MT built Commercial machine. Truth is it would be better than the old MTs it replaced, better performance, better durability and much easier to repair.
But I do not see any advantage in buying this washer for regular home use, it is far less flexible in regard to cycle settings and lacks a dual-action agitator so it will not wash as large a load and will be harder of clothing. This machine also has greatly lowered water levels and either has the VERY low rinse water level or does a spin rinse only.
At this point in time if one wants a traditional TL washer the best bet is to buy a roughly 10 year old KM or WP washer and put it back in tip top shape while all the parts are still available, or buy a new Speed Queen TL washer. | ||

ummmm...
No.
While this model is easy to repair, it is loud and rickety just like all WP DD machines. If this model has been taken over by Energy Star requirements, then it has the low water level rinse. A Newton MT is just as easy to repair and you will get a better wash -- but that is the age old WP vs. MT argument. I myself would not have it and I replaced 2 WP DD coin ops in one of my stores with Newton MTs and the customers who use these washers like them much more. The proof is in the coin box. YMMV | ||

First, there is no such thing as a commercial grade toploader. They are all domestic toploaders with a coin drop. Considering that the MAT15 is around the $600 mark, it is more expensive than a domestic model, but it is all the same under the hood.
And if a frontload looks like a domestic machine, then it is. Wascomat/Laundrylux has what looks like a domestic machine, but it has absolutely nothing in common with their Frigidaire line. I'm dubious, but they have assured me they are commercial grade and the machine is very beefy under the hood. There is absolutely no reason to have a toploader in a laundromat any more. The cost of water/sewer is enough to yank them out and put in fronts. Most new stores built today do not have them at all. Customer demand is the only reason to keep them. Very, very few (read: none) store owners will price them according the the utilities they use. I have mine priced the same as my doubleloads at $2.00, and most other owners think I am crazy for doing so (and they also think my .50 upcharge for "super cycle" is crazy). | ||

maytag commercial update The washers and dryers have broken on several occasions, on top of not filling with enough water despite there being a top row of holes. It's stupid! | ||
