So I had some free time today so I went to my nearby Warner's Stellian Appliances and took a look at the new Commercial MT VMW. Here are the PICS I took. Sorry my finger got in the way of 2.

Thanks for sharing the photos, Nick. To call the console utilitarian would be an understatement. Too bad there isn't a water level selector. Otherwise, it's a direct-and-to-the-point machine that offers a more traditional washer to a broader consumer base. Speed Queen still doesn't have as many dealers / outlets as Maytag.

Keep your Queen, as we all know that suspension system is like no other ever made. Dare I say better than Maytag Orbitals? Seriously, one thing that I have noticed is how much the tub vibrates during spin, but none of it seems to get transferred through the floor. On the previous DD I could feel that machine run through the entire first floor.

I know. The tub will vibrate spinning but you don't feel it through the cabinet. My washer is in a basement so it's on concrete. No problems. | ||

My MVWC415EW does load sensing on all the cycles, Bulky cycle included. The difference is that on the Powerwash, Deep Water and Bulky cycles they will fill to a higher level, but not to the top automatically, they fill to the higher level required for the size of the load. I was very skeptical of the auto load sensing too, but my experience in a year of use is that this machine fills to the required level for every size load on every cycle, if this make any sense.
The few times I’ve used the Normal cycle it seemed to fill with an appropriate amount of water too. The best way I can discribe the water levels, is that it uses enough to get the load completly saturated, with about an inch or two water covering the load, unless Bulky is selected, that cycle fills to the highest level, if the machine senses its necessary, like if I’m washing two pillows, or a comforter that fills the basket. If this new Maytag Commercial machine is using basically the same system as my Maytag I really don’t think that a water level control is necessary., I’ve come to trust that my machine will fill with enough water and I’ve not been dissapointed. And, yes, there is no doubt that these washers use more water than a new FL, and they don’t conserve water like a new FL, but they aren’t nearly as water hungry as a traditonal TL either. They basically use about the same amount of water that an old time FL, like a Westinghouse would. I really love my Maytag, And if I want the same amount of water that a traditioanal TL would use I can get it on the Bulky cycle. Its really the best of both worlds.

I think it does Eddie. There are two videos of the normal cycle with this machine and the water levels are clearly different. Here's one: The other: | ||

Probs fill time sensing Might do fill time sensing. The more absorbent, the longer the fill takes, the higher it fills. Rough load estimats without "wasted" time sensing seperatly. | ||

Patrick, it sounds like my machine, so I have a feeling that mechanically they are similar, with the Commercial machine having a 1/2 hp motor as opposed to the 1/3 hp motor in the home models. Mine doesn’t fill this much on Turbowash or Deep Water, the two cycles I use the most frequently, or on Normal. I would get a fill like this on the Bulky cycle. But the washing and rinsing performance doesn’t suffer from the slightly lower fill level.
The model in the videos probably fills more because it is geared to the commercial market. I think that Maytag and Whirlpool are moving in the right direction with their TL lineup. Eddie | ||

Maybe i shouldn't ask...but here goes. How did Whirlpool get around the 2018 restrictions ? Just a rhetorical ---I don't need to know I'm just glad they did ! LOL | ||

I was going to ask, but according to the vids, this is not the case of load sensing, like my Cabrio...once the tub lifts, that is the point of enough water, and agitation begins...
as mentioned, yeah a water level control would be a needed option....if I wanted to wash a 1/2 load of delicates, I have no choice but to fill the tub full of water...even a simple 1/2 or FULL selection would be enough... another feature needed......Soil Level.....not even a short/quick cycle but sorry, for that price tag, and for what your getting, should be closer to half... even the Cabrios had timed dispensers for all 3..... but I guess we should be thankful they didn't toss in one of those Downy Ball's like they did the first time.... the biggest question is going to Longevity.... plus the matching dryer is 100.00 more than the washer?...WTH?....it is nothing more than this one on sale at HomeDepot for 399.00....I ask you, whats inside that dryer that cost 500.00 more?

agifllow2 I'm like you; dryers seem overpriced. No doubt that the manufacturers are working to add enough dryer gimmicks to impress the kids and millenials. | ||

Chemical pollution and water usage are two very different things. What does one have to do with the other? | ||

 I just bought a new washer and I was looking at the Maytag commercial washer and it had a black agitator they called Flex vane . It reminded me of the old Maytags ,I think . I know I have seen that agitator somewhere else. It seems that everybody has taken notice of Speed queens alchemy of washers that last and there looking on with envy. | ||

These look to be high quality machines. I'd buy one if it weren't for the ugly control panel and lack of water level selector. | ||
