Knowing is Half the Battle |
Our 5 yr old Maytag Bravos washer has been sounding sicker and sicker for the last couple months. The wife was researching the $75-$100 in parts it probably needed as it started to go terminal last week when she suggested we tip it over and take a pic underneath to confirm parts. I pulled it out and noticed oil drops on the tile and assumed that wasn't good. She confirmed through Google-fu that was an extinction level event. Thanks to my passive reading of SIGforum and Appliance Brad's musings on the topic along with some searches, I suggested Speed Queen, which she never heard of. One of the latest model 7 Series was delivered Friday. Now our washer and dryer don't match, but I can live with that. No more hour long wash cycles! Considered it handled washing cloth diapers for two kids' up-bringing, the Maytag served an honorable duty cycle. Thanks SIGforum! | ||

Our Maytag Bravo lasted 4 years, it sounds like ours is experiencing the same issues as yours. Really! 4 years Grrrrr! Done with Maytag. Can you please post a link to the Speed Queen you selected. “We’re in a situation where we have put together, and you guys did it for our administration…President Obama’s administration before this.

Speed Queen TR7 Slightly under $1,100 after tax delivered, installed, and old one put 6 feet under. Ouch, but hopefully she gives us a better and longer experience than the Maytag. I think the Maytag was around $600 from Lowes back in 2013 or 2014. | |||

Just in time. Not sure about top loaders but I heard they will stop making front loaders while they shift manufacturing to a huge commercial contract.

I miss the days when Maytag washer/dryer sets would last 30-40 yrs. My current Maytag set is 20+ yrs. old. | |||

For a new Maytag... he's lucky it lasted that long.  | |||

Enjoy it. Clean the filter in the cold water filler hose. I think you will be happy with the service it gives you. "Practice like you want to play in the game" | |||

We joined the others and bought a Speed Queen set at the end of last year. A bit more expensive and a few less features, but I know they will last. | |||

Two kids worth of cloth diapers? That is like running an Afresh cleaning cycle every two days, with about 20+ cloth diapers in it for 3/4 of its life. I thought it would eat itself quicker than it did. The Speed Queen laughs at our feeble attempts to foil it with such soil and trouble. | |||
