Niagara Falls Craigslist I thought hmmm not a fan of Maytag washers because they are not dramatic enough for me. Also short rinse cycle yet long spray rinse during the first spin. Anyways the washer sounded quite during the demonstration at sellers house. My question is how old is this particular model? And could it be used as a daily driver? I'm a whirlpool, sears kenmore, kitchen aid, fridgidaire jet cone, Norge, older speed queen, filter flow guy.. I like drama, splashing, and noise. Maytags are boring. I've always had bad luck with them too at other homes of ny family members. However I remember an older NICE woman across the street that had an older maytag with 4 adult children in the home. She used that maytag washer with rinso powder at leaste ten times a week. She also had a bol kenmore dryer with lots of bounce sheets in the early 80's I heard that maytag humming away a lot. I'm looking for encouragement that I made the right choice. Tell me what year this is.

It may not be dramatic, something I can fully relate to, but it will wash, rinse and spin better than most anything else and last forever......Not an orbital machine. It has the long stroke and is one speed. | ||

That was similar to my first Maytag I bought in September of 2015, but unfortunately the motor died (the motor looked liked it was replaced some time in the 90's). It had the short tub, and was standard capacity, but it did a good job at cleaning! Two speed Maytag machines were more common than the on speed.

Short rinses The clothes barely began to circulate after filling when it stopped for the spin and I never overloaded. | ||

This is the long stroke. Came out between 80 and 85. | ||
