Maytag Convert Here,
Ever since I got my A207 2 months ago I have been very impressed with its performance. The lint filter works fine by my estimates. It cleans well, has fine turnover and being one of the standard capacity models even handles being slightly overloaded just fine. Just today, I put probably 1-1/2 loads into one and while turnover was kind-of slow, I would say that by comparing it to a video of a slightly overloaded SQ from the '70s it handled the the load far better than the SQ with rather acceptable performance.

Yesterday's POD of what I'm assuming is a late 1950's Maytag is probably my favorite; the TOL models that debuted right after the models with the water level selector in the lid (which are my least favorite Maytags).
Someone in our neighborhood had the Maytag shown in the POD and that was my first experience with one. I was probably five or six years old. Loved how the timer sounded as it advanced. The machine was so quiet compared to our Kenmore Model 80. Hated that the lid switch was difficult to access---I used a popsicle stick, as I recall---but was fascinated with the spin-drain and how calm the top of the water was during agitation when set for Large load. Funny, no one I knew with a Maytag ever used the opening at the top of the agitator as a detergent dispenser. Later, the 806 with a suds-saver became a favorite---more flexibility for cycles and options; greater capacity; fabric softener dispenser---but have always had a soft spot in my heart for this one. | ||
