True Maytag built washers dont use 60 gallons total, more like 40 if its the super capacity big tub. They would only use 60 if you add an extra rinse. If the Maytag you have still runs perfectly...honestly, keep it. That washer will outlast anything that Whirlpool builds today and that Maytag will preform better for you if you do all that hiking and all the grubbiness that you describe.
I had a Whirlpool 4516 washer that did use enough water if one used the Super Wash cycle and Deep Wash setting. I hated that washer since it had issues with soil removal and granted it did well spinning at 700 rpms , there was MUCH lacking. One thing is longevity and once the year warranty is up they dont know you....even if you have the extended warranties that Whirlpool tries to entice people on the Maytag since. Look at the reviews and they speak volumes and CU dont speak highly of them across the board. |

I agree with the others here, I wouldn't replace your Maytag if it still runs fine. Especially for the fact that the original Maytag company has since been long gone. And I wouldn't replace your older Maytag with either of those newer Maytags, you'll likely be disappointed with your change. I've seen both in person before and I'll tell you what, they both feel cheaply made. Honestly if you did had to replace your Maytag with a brand new washer, you're better off by getting a Speed Queen TC5 instead. In my humble opinion that is the LAST good top loader washer that's on the market as of today. But if it HAD to come down between those two other Maytags, I'd get the commercial model. Like what the other user said, I'd get the MVWP575KW over the MVWP576KW as it comes with a longer warranty and you're definitely gonna need it because unfortunately I've seen these commercial Maytags break while they're under warranty. Not good for someone like me who'd want a washer like a SQ that's designed to last 20-25 years or even longer without ever having to get it fixed. Overall, just keep using your Maytag and try to fix it when it does break. Anyways, that's my two cents here.

Your Maytag 810 uses 19 gallons per fill, that's 38 gallons plus a few gallons for the 1 minute spray rinse, puts that around 42-44 gallons.

I would replace this washer wit a new Front Load machine, doing so will reduce you per load water use down to 12-15 gallons per load compared to around 45 gallons per load. And the new machine will wash larger loads cleaner and better rinsed with much less fabric wear than your current machine.
Best new FL machine is a SQ by far but if $1800 is not in the budget consider a WP or MT FL machine in the $1000 dollar range or even an $700 Amana FL machine.

I’d keep your Maytag running for as long as possible since washers have gone down hill in quality and reliability since 2011. One you get rid of your Maytag, there’s no getting it back since utility companies along with greedy corporations will just about do everything in their power to convince you to replace perfectly working appliances with many years left with new-fangled appliances that can’t make it past 5 years with repairs and don’t work all that well either.

I echo what most others have said here. If the Maytag you have now runs fine, why ditch it?
If water conservation is your goal, then combo52 is right, you should look into getting a front loader. High efficiency top loaders don't work all that well in my opinion, and the ones that do use nearly as much water as yesterday's machines. Front loaders are meant to clean with much less water and can do it effectively because of their design--they tumble the clothes through the water horizontally so everything in the load still gets saturated. I think the high efficiency top loader design has potential but it's just not there yet, at least from what I've seen. Others may have had different experiences. The Maytag MVWP575/76 is as close to an old-school top loader as you can get these days without shelling out the cash for a Speed Queen TC5 and is a good performer from what I've heard, but is built using the VMW platform, just like it's residential cousin. If you are not familiar, VMW stands for vertical modular washer and is what replaced Whirlpool's direct drive design in 2010. These machines are easily serviceable but I've never really heard of them lasting very long before a major and expensive part gives out. My previous washer was of this design and lasted 6 years. Also, and this may just be an irritation unique to me, I can't stand the sound of the VMW machines. It's really hard to explain unless you've heard one. If your laundry is in a separate or closed-off part of the house, that may not be a big deal, but if not, well, just go on Youtube and see if you can handle listening to that noise every time you do laundry. It's definitely different, to say the least. So to sum up, my vote is keep your old Maytag. If you don't feel like that's an option do to water conservation issues or you simply feel it's time to upgrade, get a middle-of-the-line front loader. That should still serve you well. If you want traditional performance in a more modern body, and can't afford a Speed Queen, grab the commercial Maytag but be aware of durability issues with that design. Good luck. |

ryner1988: High efficiency top loaders don't work all that well in my opinion, and the ones that do use nearly as much water as yesterday's machines.The best HE toploader thus far is the Whirlpool/Kenmore Calypso, and it is more water-efficient than the impeller designs. Calypso is long discontinued, largely because ... consumers. |

I don't know much about the Calypso, only that there was a class-action suit in the early 2000's and that resulted in the machines discontinuation.
My conclusion about HE top loaders was reached using what I do know about human behavior, which is that many consumers select the deep fill option by default on these machines. And with good reason in some cases. In my experience, sometimes the auto sense works well, and sometimes it doesn't, and that largely depends on how you load the machine. As I said, these washers tend to be picky beasts, which is why I don't like them. |

"I have trouble getting my head around how they wash twice as well with half as much water and detergent"
I guess a lot of Americans who are used to traditional toploaders think that frontloaders don't use enough water. But they work better with less water in the main wash than when they would use more. In order to get the maximum out of the wash action, the laundry has to fall back on the side of the drum, not into the water. That action copies the old fashioned way of washing by beating it on a rock. Look at the rock, it is above the water level. Now if it would be under water, the wash action wouldn't be very effective. Older European front loaders used lower water levels for cottons and permanent press items. Delicates were washed in much more water so the clothes would roll around in a lot of water, preventing the laundry from falling on the side of the drum. So low water level and less detergent, but still enough to make it a concentrated solution make front loaders very effective at cleaning. |

I'm sorry I have to address the same issue again. We all know by now that you don't like modern appliances. You're beating that dead horse over and over again. Perhaps you could keep in mind that there are people who do like new appliances (including me, although I like older too) and I think it's very impolite to trample on things that other people might like.
IIRC you were the one who defriended me on Facebook after I said in a private message that I found modern European Fords dead ugly. I guess you like Fords. But one negative comment about them was already too much for you. So guess how people who like modern appliances feel like when you are bashing modern appliances over and over and over again. It gets really old now. So say something nice or say nothing at all. Rant over. |

I may have mentioned an occasion of washing several lightweight/sheer curtain panels in a (2006 Duet) frontloader with powdered detergent on Delicate, which fills higher to purposely soften the washing action. Too much water, the items floated with no falling/slapping action. Undissolved detergent in the folds. Ran again on Normal, much better with rolling and falling/slapping against the drum surface, no detergent residue. |

Not bashing on modern appliances, just mentioning to keep their machine running as long as possible. Sure, modern appliances aren’t quite my preference but I just don’t want someone to have something newer that will perform worse than their previous machine nor be reliable.
I don’t remember unfriending you on Facebook, I think you may have unfriended me since I don’t recall unfriending you on Facebook. I never unfriend people on Facebook unless if people who friended me or I friend them and they never reach out to me. |

Not bashing:
Denial is not only a river in Egypt. I found no less than 8 remarks in the last year wit the phrase "piss-poor". "Piss-poor design, piss-poor washing, piss-poor performance" and that is only with that phrase. Enough is enough. And in regard to Facebook, you should just refresh your mind, because I have a good recollection of what happened. Back to modern washers. |

Why are you bringing this stuff up? Lately I’ve been keeping to my self in a way and haven’t started anything with anyone as of late. I simply commented on how to keep your machine running as long as possible, not “You HAVE to keep you Maytag running as long as possible”, I merely just suggested to keep your machine running for as long as possible not you HAVE to keep your machine running for as long as possible.

OP, you should keep what you have. If you really want to replace, you should get the MVWP575GW MVWP575GW is the correct model number for the “good” Maytag that comes with a factory FULL parts and labor warranty for 5 YEARS. |

What agenda would that be and why? It's not like they rated all the other Maytag models so poorly nor all the other WP products. This one in particular of all makes and models got the lowest score on it's regular settings. They can't test every washer on every setting to see if diddling with something improves it so they test them according to how they are rated for their energy star performance, apples to apples. Washing performance is measurable. It can be measured scientifically with electronic equipment to see remaining dirt the human eye cannot and it must be repeatable each and every time and that's what they do. Don't think for a moment that the manufacturers don't scrutinize their reports to the nth degree looking for such conspiracy theories such as the one you just made, or just plain errors or mistakes in their testing, and you know what they can't find any. Because once again all the tests are repeatable. Besides that they invite manufacturers and the public in, and manufacturers invite them in as well. So again i ask, what are these agendas you claim they have that affects how they rate washing machines or appliances in general? As well what other credible sources are there.. certainly not a NY Times weekend journalist or JD Powers who are not even a testing organization.

I don’t trust Consumers Report anymore either, I haven’t for quite some time. I was subscriber for over 20 years. Reviews in the 70’s and 80’s used to be much more detailed. Last I looked not so much. In all honesty I haven’t looked at CR or their annual report in a few years now.
I check out the reviews online by actual owners if I’m looking for the 411 on a product. Eddie |

@PinkPower4, do you find the sound of the Maytag gearbox machine obnoxious at all? For me, that's the only thing that would be leaning me more towards the TC5 if my current washer dies. It just sounds like a washer. Those gearbox machines are noisy in my opinion. That strange whomp...whomp...whomp sound it makes during agitation, so irritating! I personally feel if one has one of those machines, they have to have a dedicated laundry room separate from the rest of the house to be able to stand it and I don't--my washer and dryer is behind a set of doors right in the hallway of my one-bedroom apartment.
I agree with @DADoES in that a front loader is probably the best way to go if one is getting a new machine. However, not everyone has the setup for it. In my case, I would be afraid I wouldn't be able to fit them in my laundry closet, depth concerns, or get the door open all the way because the closet door jam is in the way. But maybe there's more room than I think there is. |

The operational sound of the Maytag (or any VMW machine, including other brands of the same mechanical design) is largely because the motor continually turns on and off, reversing clockwise and counterclockwise each time to provide the oscillating agitation motion. SQ TC5 runs the motor continuously in one direction with agitator oscillation provided by the transmission. |

I have a Roper RTW4516FW2 with the VMW design thats in the laundry closet in the hallway between both bedrooms. I’ve never found the noise to be a problem even when I’ve run the machine after we’ve gone to bed, I just close the folding doors.
One reason that I’ve got a TL is because like ryner1988 there isn’t enough depth in the laundry closet for one of the current generation FL’s. I’d have to take off the folding doors and put up a curtain to conceal the washer and dryer and I’m not down with that at all. Or get a 2.4 cu ft capacity FL and then have to take any large items to the laundromat and I’m not about to do that either. At any rate, I’ve been very pleased with this Roper. Its dependable, simple and cleans excellently. In three years of service its never given me one single problem. Eddie |

I've had the privilege of trying out the Maytag Commercial along with the matching dryer. I was a bit disappointed when I found out that Whirlpool moved away from their traditional direct drive top load washers a while ago, the Kenmore 90 Series that I have which used to belong to my grandparents, it's my most favorite washer of all time. But I do applaud of Whirlpool for coming back out with washers that are pretty similar to the direct drive washers, though I feel that they're not quite the same. Here's what I do like about this washer compare to my Kenmore. I like that the tub is bigger, I also like with how much quieter it actually is. Though the noise on the Kenmore have never bothered me, in fact I prefer a washer to be noisy like it's doing something. And I like that when the water fills up, the tub spins around just slightly. Now here's what I don't like about it. As I've said before, the washer feels cheaply made to me. It has a stainless steel basket that can attract magnets, especially the ones that are sharp which can rip through clothes. I also could care less about the electronic control panel, I'm now having a hard time with trusting electronic control panels despite the claims that they are better than mechanical. There's only two water fill options to use. The highest ones can't quite fill all the way to the top. It tempers the water temperature. And I honestly feel like these are way too expensive for what they are. My first impressions, it really did got the job done. Especially that it uses a dual action agitator which can really deep clean but it can however wear out the laundry faster. Would I overall recommend it? Yes I would. But it wouldn't be on my top 5 choices to pick. However, I would certainly recommend it over the MVWC565FW. Anybody out there that is looking for a new Whirlpool top load washer, I would look into the WTW4816FW (Only sold at Lowe's) as I humbly believe that is the ONLY reasonable brand new Whirlpool top load washer to buy on the market today. Even more reasonable than their other cheaper models like the Amana NTW4516FW. But for anybody that wants a Whirlpool top load washer out there regardless if it's new or used, I'd buy a reconditioned direct drive model regardless if it's a Whirlpool, Kenmore, or KitchenAid brand. Same goes for Maytag, I'd buy a reconditioned direct drive Maytag over a brand new one. And for anybody that wants a brand new top load washer on the market today, I'd honestly would look into any Speed Queen model regardless if it's a household or commercial model. Anyways, that's all I wanted to say here.

Oh and one more thing that I forgot to mention about the Maytag commercial that I don't like about it compare to my Kenmore is that it has a lid lock. I get that it's a safety feature but I'm a type of person that wants to add in whatever laundry I'd put in during the cycles. Not to mention that I think it's fun to see whatever the washer can do during it's cycles.

I agree that I would buy something based on somebody's own view and experience, even when they do a thorough comparison test. And especially when they not only sell them but also repair them for a living. I wouldn't buy just the way it looks which unfortunately that's what alot of consumers out there today would buy because it looks "pretty". In fact I was very impressed with Lorain Furniture's video when he did a test between the Maytag Commercial and the Speed Queen TC5. I'll admit, at first I was leaning towards of getting the Maytag over the SQ after that comparison video. But however though, I had second thoughts when I ran across this thread a while ago on here about the Maytag Commercial. Now making me set with going for a SQ because again I want something durable, reliable, and not to mention that I want something that doesn't temper the water temperature. I already have my Kenmore that I really do love to death but I want something that I can get parts for that are still being made today so I'll be buying a SQ. Originally I planned to buy the TC5 along with it's matching dryer the DC5, but inflation unfortunately made it to where I can get a reconditioned SQ at a better price. And so far I'm waiting to hear back from a dealer that's reconditioning a SQ set for me.

I have this Whirlpool top loader, and I agree, it is the only new Whirlpool I would buy...can't remember if I bought it at Lowe's or Home Depot...it's the only model I could find with a true "dual action" agitator, not an impeller with a stem...I get a true hot wash, with a full tub of water in wash and rinse...it has a variety of cycles, some of which are redundant, but I primarily use the "Bulky" or "Delicate" cycles, on the "Light" or "Ex Light" soil level settings...it offers a 15-second pseudo spray rinse before the first spin, and a clear full tub rinse...average load is done in 35-40 minutes...prior to this, I had the current version of the Whirlpool front loader, but the shortcomings of low water levels, and inability to spin with small loads, prompted the purchase of the top loader...I modified the lid lock, so the lid remains open all the time, on every cycle...a few years back, I had a Series 90 Kenmore direct drive, which was the most flexible washer I've ever owned, but it remained with the home when I moved to St. Pete...this Whirlpool is the closest new machine I could find with a semblance of similar flexibility.

I have this Roper washer that is a Whirlpool based VMW design and is essentially the same as George’s in reply#50 above. The only real difference is the control panel and the WTW4816FW has a few more cycle selections. Everything that George stated in his post is the same experience that I’ve had with my Roper. I kept the lid latch from the prior Maytag Centennial Washer that my Roper replaced. From time to time I will place this lid latch in the lid locking slot so I can observe the washing activity and believe me this washer has plenty of turnover.
I had been primarily using the Normal/Regular cycle because it is so quick, 34 mins. But about 3 mo ago I began using the Normal/Heavy which adds about 30 to 40 mins to the cycle time depending upon whether I select hot or warm water, hot takes longer, and its tap hot not dumbed down. Its well worth the extra time. The auto sense fill always provides enough water to cover the load and give free movement and turn over of all the items being washed. I’ve never owned any other washer that cleaned any better than this machine. The ratings from actual users are high with approx. 87% satisfaction and these reviews weren’t all made by people participating in some promotional scheme. This Roper and its sister ship the Amana NTW4516FW are two of the best kept secrets for a decent well functioning washer at a price that can’t be beat. I’m glad to hear that George is as satisfied with his Whirlpool as I am with my Roper. Eddie |

PinkPower4: There is one thing I'm not sure about though. If one changes out that gear case in the Whirlpool, is that also changing out the bearings?VMW design incorporates the tub seal and spin/agitate bearings into the transmission (gearcase) assembly. The seal and spin bearing piece presses into the outer tub from beneath when the assembly is mounted. |

I had the Whirlpool version of your Roper, and unfortunately it died in 6 years, failed gear box was the cause. But there is something to be said for a washer that can clean well and only costs $500 max, even if you have to replace it every few years. As I said, I had a hard time with the noise of mine, but I'm definitely not arguing about its functionality.
As I've stated before, I still feel a good front loader or the TC5 are the best options on the market today. But for all my hollering and yammering about how much I hate the noise of the VMW machines, a middle of the line front loader or the Speed Queen are both pricy, so it's very likely I'll end up with one of these machines again if my old Maytag tanks because they are plentiful, easily affordable, generally clean well, and objectively are a good option if one is suddenly without a washer. I'd probably just buy the roper or Amana version as, like the reply above mentions, I find many of the cycles on the Whirlpool version redundant. For instance, normal with extra light soil on the Whirlpool washer is the same as quick wash, which the Roper and Amana both have. I, too, find the extra half hour of wash time worth it to make sure my clothes are both clean and rinsed well. I always used the heavy duty and bulky cycles on the Whirlpool, along with warm water, and I never bothered with the deep water option. Never found a need for it. I do find that the pray rinse isn't enough for my needs, as my wife has sensitive skin to a degree and I like to make sure all the soap is rinsed out of the clothes, so I always used a cycle with a full rinse. I've never understood why long cycle times bother people. I just walk away and do something else until it's time for clothes to go in the dryer, no big deal. I do wonder if I just had an extra loud machine for some reason, as the ones I've heard on Youtube soud much quieter than mine was. |

This is what I'd love to see again. By the time I'd need a washer and dryer for my own place, I hope SQ would be offering back their limited time offer for a full 10 year parts and labor warranty on all of their residential machines. If they do when that time comes, then I'll reconsider purchasing the TC5 and the DC5. I wished I would've known that SQ was offering this deal when we had our washer and dryer replaced because I would've jumped on it in a heart beat.

I went to Lowe's recently and saw the Maytag commercial. I saw a hole in the agitator where you'd put softener, but I didn't see a softener cup. |

Vinegar? Wouldn't clothes come out smelling like a Fish and Chip shop? |

As I pointed out, fabric softener just plain works when used properly. I don't want my clothes smelling sour using vinegar. The truth as, it will never be as good as real fabric softener. |

If you want a real commercial machine, Get Speed Queen Equipment. |

I question if that washer is really worth $1,099 given the stark contrast between Maytag and Speed Queen with the Speed Queen being about the same price:

Really makes me wonder.
