when Whirlpool first took over Maytag.....those machines were available with a stainless tub....colors available were a dark speckle or bright white...but I think it was limited to the Maytag only versions...
any 27 inch cabinet would all be the same size tub, largest available.....24 inch cabinet would have smaller capacity..... there are too many model numbers to list....but they would all be direct drive units... this guy seems to offer a lot of Direct drive units......preference goes to one with the speed control knob....most all models with a timer and 4 knobs are speed control units....

Direct Drive refers to the motor, which connects directly to the pump on the front side, and the rear connects via a coupler, directly to the transmission....no belts
the other direct drive your thinking is a computer controlled direct drive...also known as a VMU = Vertical Modular Unit.... the MVMP575GW is a belt drive, the motors constant reversing creates agitation, the so-called transmission is a set of orbital gears that cause the tub to rotate opposite of the agitators movements... although it does seem like a decent machine for modern technology CLICK HERE TO GO TO Yogitunes's LINK | ||

Speed queen option
There's one more option not many people know about. Speed queen still makes their LWN series commercial washers, with a transmission, no lid lock, etc. You can buy them through commercial retailers for about the price of an 8 series 2017 machine. This should still be in production for the rest of 2018. I've got an LWNE22 speed queen, which is essentially an 8 series model without the load size selector. It's The only PROPER
option for a new washer nowadays. You can buy it through some speed queen retailers, if they're willing to custom order it. I'd go for the lwne52, though, because it has a load size option... | ||
