Maytag - 4.7 Cu. Ft. High Efficiency Top Load Washer with Pet Pro System - White

It's lovely. It's bigger than our last Maytag which was 2.8 capacity. The problem is this: how much detergent to use? It's gotta be HE, which I have in liquid form. Does the machine sense how big the load is and use the appropriate amount of water? So am I supposed to guess at the load size and amount of soap in this bigger capacity drum? The instruction booklet doesn't address this - actually, doesn't address much. It's very small. I scoured the internet with minimal success. This 3 star would be a 4-5 if I had answers to this question.

As a pet owner, I have to say I'm very impressed with the filtration system of this washing machine. I've had front load washing machines for years, and always had to wipe the inside lip of the rubber seal, and I never felt like I was truly getting all of the accumulated fur. The central agitator in the Maytag Pet Pro washing machine, makes it incredibly easy to capture all of your pets fur in one concentrated spot, the unit is fairly quiet, and the only thing I miss about my previous washing machine was the digital display to tell me how many minutes I had left on the cycle. A small price to pay for a top brand that even repairman will say they receive the fewest service calls on. (Yes, I had to ask when my 2-yeae old Samsung broke) Which is another reason why I wanted I Maytag/Whirlpool.

I love this thing. It fit perfectly and has a smaller profile than my previous washer, but it manages to be bigger and less heavy so getting it set up was a breeze. The pet filter is much different than I expected it to be, but in a good way. It's very easy to clean out after using it. That's super convenient because one of my two dogs sheds like crazy so our clothes are covered in fur. It works like a charm, is quiet, and cleans our clothes efficiently. I've never owned a Maytag before, now I see what the big deal is. Our only concern was worrying about the drain hose length, but we tied it down and that sucker doesn't move at all.

Good so far. Great capacity, I like the soap dispenser location and appreciate the button to run water to prespot or rinse soap from the dispenser front. The pet pro feature seems to work well to minimize pet hair from my laundry. I like the black surface for a change from the standard white.

I chose this washer for the Pet Pro feature but I am so happy for all the other features it has. Cleaning out the pet hair trap is super simple and it really works. The washer detects by weight how much laundry I have and adds just enough water to wash my clothes super clean. Where I live, we always are on drought restrictions so this helps my water bill. It has so many lid types like jeans and towels so an extra way it helps with water. Best decision I’ve ever made was to buy this Pet Pro washer by Maytag.

Worst washer I’ve ever had. Lint from previous loads washes back into the tub and gets deposited on clothes and on the side of the tub. I have to scrub the tub of gritty, linty deposits after each load—still doesn’t prevent the mess between the tub and drum from washing back in. And the clothes go into the washer in a very clean state. No children or gardeners in this family. The filter is nothing special and collects less fur than the simple silicone filter in my Samsung front loader. Photos: Compare the scum on the tub with the tiny bit of debris collected by the filter. Note: The tub had been scrubbed completely clean before this load of synthetic, non-linty garments and 3 high-quality cotton shirts. Simply unacceptable performance. This machine is poorly designed. Would return it if I could.

Best purchase I have made . Clothes are super clean, washer is quiet . Very very efficient !

Works great at removing pet hair. Solid built machine

This washer is huge. It can do all of our laundry in about 2 loads, even our king sized comforter! I love the clear top, and so far I have no complaints. It isn't loud and has settings that cover all of my needs.
