Hi there again,
My brother and sister-in-law are planning on picking up a new washer tomorrow from their local home furnishing store. This is the one that they're looking into getting, seems and looks cool to me but I'm wondering if there are any better options out there for something similar to this. www.maytag.com/washers-an... Any thoughts or experience would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Thank you everyone for your feedback, I really appreciate it!
Yesterday they picked up the MVW7230HW which no surprise there. They actually got a good deal on it, it was new but it only had like a scratch on it which was why the price had dropped. So that including tax and the warranty they bought for it was like $730. We'll see what they think but seems like they're liking it so far. I think the reason they went with a top loader is because that's the type of washer they have been using for a long time, I don't think I ever recall my sister-in-law using a front loader before but I could be wrong. I will say this, I am very impressed with our new LG front load washer. But I think for my very first washer and dryer to have in my own house, I'm leaning towards on getting a Speed Queen TC5 and a DC5. I've actually seen some videos from Lorain Furniture before and he's one of the reasons why I'm interested in getting the Speed Queen TC5. Thanks again folks! |

Where did you hear the energy regulations are being updated? Your post prompted me to research whether energy regulations were being updated and the only thing I found was the DOE was seeking comments late last year whether they need to amend the current energy requirements.

Seems the industry is backsliding on water and/or energy regulations with these goofy new models that have a fill-level choices of only 1/2 or full-to-the-top. Can't do this no mo'. |

Is not going anywhere at the end of this year.
SQ is also continuing to build the traditional transmission equipped TL washers because the new style TR style TL washers will not cut it for commercial use. I still predict that SQ will have to put a mode shifter in their TL machines eventually. I have no dough that they are testing such designs. John L. |

If the TC5 was definitely going away, I'd be seriously tempted to get one and keep it "in the box" until our old reliable finally quits.
The lack of infinite water level choice doesn't thrill me though. For what they cost, you'd think they could include it. Unless big government said no. Someone here recently acquired a vintage, lower end washer and discovered a functional water level selector, hidden behind the panel. Too bad SQ couldn't sneak something like that in. Barry |
