Seems like they are falling back to older designs on both the washer and dryer with their lint filter | ||

Everything Old Is New Again!
Maytag long had detergent/lint filter that were in center of agitator, this goes back to "Powerfin" days if not earlier.
Looks like what Whirlpool has done is reinvented the wheel so to speak. "With the Pet Pro washer, Utley explained that customers can select the Pet Pro option to any wash cycle. The cycle employs increased water levels to help lift pet hair off clothes and pass through a built-in pet hair filter. Utley said tests showed the Pet Pro filter removed five times more pet hair from clothes versus traditional Maytag washing machines." edition.cnn.com/2022/08/26/busin... Also: www.moodyonthemarket.com/... What they're saying in essence is this newfangled top loader washer will use higher water levels to lift and float pet hair/dander off laundry. Once that is done much or most will then be caught in filter as water circulates. Again this is not anything new. Maytag's washers with lint filters in agitator worked best at high water levels. Have a few for my Maytag wringer and works rather well. Tumble dryers usually always are good at removing lint, and this Maytag "pet" version has basically very long "Air Fluff" cycle in aid of that process. | ||

"Maytag said its Pet Pro system will be the first washer-dryer unit on the market to feature technology developed specifically to remove pet hair."
Marketing propaganda can sure be entertaining at times aka bullshit to the extreme. At first glance, I'm not impressed. The washer filter media looks coarse with very limited surface area. They pawn the 55 year old dryer filter as some overly large redesigned contraption. Not trying to negative, I would like to see the return of a well designed washer lint filter but I'm not sure this is up to par. Don't get rid of your real Maytag pitman trans/GE Filter Flo just yet. | ||

A good friend of mine just sold his house in town left his GE front load set and bought his late grandmothers house. It’s a 2015 speed queen and he says it washes out all pet hair like crazy! He said, he upgraded big time! I agree, it’s a joke with all their marketing. | ||

Maytag Nevermind, i saw another picture, it only has 3 fins, but they are bigger than other washplate designs. I wonder if they will put a lint filter in the maytag commercial washer. | ||

GE to compete with maytag What will GE do to compete with Maytag? I hope they do the filter-flo with the more efficient pump with the recirculating pump flume at the 10:00 or 2:00 position. It will run during agitation during wash and rinse. | ||
