Interesting Maytag ad showing the various colors available at one point... Every machine a pictured has a current hot color...until we hit the BOL machine which is in boring white. Was white the only choice? Was it just chance? A thought that they needed one white machine? Or was it white to send a message it was the boring BOL machine?

 

A Maytag expert might know... I don't. But it's fun to speculate.

 

Sad thing, but actually I think white might be a better color...at least to my eyes.

Being BOL, it was only Plain Jane white availability.

My mother's first washer she and my dad bought when they married in 1966 was white but otherwise an A207. It had hot, warm, cold and large, med, and small buttons. It said "automatic washer" in one of the slots that held buttons for more features on the upper models. It survived 2 kids in cloth diapers and lasted 16 years until it began leaking oil. She replaced it with a GE filterflo in 1982.

That is my mom's first Maytag there... And I think she would had chosen white on purpose, as she did for her dryer, offered in more colors & one model, or more, up...

I've always thought the 806 with a suds-saver was the ultimate Maytag: Loads of flexibility in cycle options. It may not have the 906's clean row of one-button controls, but it has more versatility.
