Very nice! I have an Atlantis MAV6300 that's at my father in law's. It was slightly older than this model, when they had the vertical push button switches and the upper agitator didn't have all the extra spirals. Despite what many say about the Atlantis, I always have loved this washer. Huge capacity, could roll over and clean an overstuffed load of towels and have them smelling fresh afterwards. The in laws abuse the poor thing, and I'm honestly wishing it would die so I could take it back and restore it, but the thing WILL NOT QUIT. It still runs as smoothly as ever.
Replacing the pump is so easy you can almost do it one handed. Looks to be a very nice machine, although personally I was never a fan of this style control panel. I never understood why the switch, when the older one looked more sleek and modern. | ||

A glorified Norge washer. When they are working, they work very well. If you have one that the tub seal goes out on or that starts slinging transmission grease and locks up, not so much. Certainly majestic looking machines though. | ||

I spoke too soon...
Not that I'm surprised at all, nor am I disappointed or mad...at the Atlantis that is. We went over to my father in law's last night, and he took me into the laundry room to ask if I knew why the washer would be leaking oil underneath. Tipped it back and there is yellow grease all over the floor, and slung all around the underside. When I took the front panel off though, I can't see a drop that has leaked inside the cabinet. No signs of any leaking from any gaskets. I also can't tell where any of it could be coming from underneath where the pulley is. I tested it with agitation and spinning, and can't hear a single sound out of the ordinary. It still has strong agitation and spins perfectly. There's no telling how long it's been leaking like that, and they've had it for over two years now. They also don't take care of anything they own, and they overload the thing multiple times a day, and the poor baby is filthy. I'm honestly just hoping the transmission will lock up so I can get it back and attempt to restore it even remotely back to the condition it was in when we had it. I didn't take pictures; I always get so frazzled in situations like that because it's already a challenge to talk "washer or dishwasher" with people who could care less anyway, plus my hands were covered in grease. At first I had little faith in LG because the FL washer they had bit the dust in just three years, and the dryer isn't doing much better, but now I'm realizing that poor washer was trying to escape! I don't know how any modern machine would survive those people. | ||
