even if you had that SQ shipped, would still be cheaper than a brand new one....and highly unlikely you would ever have to buy another washer/dryer again in your life....
by reviews, Neptunes got a bad rap as well.... then again, I had ten kids, and can easily wash king size quilts....plus I know how to care for a machine... could be why I have a fleet of them.....only one set was bought brand new, the rest were used... keep in mind, with a lot of these newer machines...the higher the Tier for energy savings, the lower the temps will be dubbed down, and less water used per fill.....add on upwards of 90+ minutes to wash one load.... |

You know I've seen your postings and read a few things about the Neptunes and am pretty handy at fixing things. I found this one cheap, I was thinking of picking it up if it's the later versions, mah5000+ is the model to look for right? CLICK HERE TO GO TO NYWasher's LINK on Watertown Craigslist

5500 were the most popular...800 rpm spin
6500 offer an internal heater... 7500 has a touch screen and 'stain brain'... these last two offer either 1000 or 1200 rpm spin... if anything, plug that unit in before purchase and set to 'spin'....it should be smooth and almost silent.....if it roars, your looking at bearings and seals, about 20.00 or so in parts....and rather a moderately easy job, done in about 2 hours... but if it does roar, then you can negotiate a lower price....technically all a repair man would do is order a whole rear outter tub replacement with bearing/seals already installed....pricing around 700.00... keep us posted as to how you make out.... |

First one must inform appliance maker of serial number and where machine was bought, this and or provide proof of purchase (receipt). Either way there is likely to be some indication of why the appliance was sold for less than MSRP. If it was on sale or whatever reduction this normally is indicated.
Nearly all or most "big box" stores here in USA have clearance/scratch and dent or whatever departments or entire stores where merchandise is on offer. lowesemployees.com/lowes-clearan... Besides most scratch and dent appliances that are "new" will carry full manufacturers warranty regardless. No need for going about the bush. In some cases the store in question will offer something in addition to, above or in place of manufacturers warranty. lowes.bstock.com/conditions/... Home Depot, Sears, etc... all have similar "clearance" or whatever that sell scratch and dent appliances. www.houzz.com/discussions... |

This is a clone of the Neptune 6500 with the heater. The buttons are just laid out differently and renamed. Attached is a closeup of the 6500 panel.

Awesome, thank you guys, this forum is the best. I agree Yogi, the price is high, but I'm planning on talking him down. I just missed a neptune for $75 locally. So just press spin only button and the start button and it should spin quietly? |

Does that Amanda really have a heater? The model tag says 10amps at 120v Wouldn’t it need to be 15amps to heat, or is it just a 800w heater |

I just looked at the door sticker on my Maytag MAH6500 and it has the same 10A rating.
I thought I read once that it's a 1000 watt heating element. For what it's worth, in operation the heater will only operate during tumbling. Even if the washer decides to add more water, it will disengage the heater, add the water, then turn the heater back on. So it may be able to have the 10A rating that way.
