Maytag
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- This is my washer dryer. The washer turns 50 next month, the dryer turns 50 in 4 months https://www.reddit.com/r/Maytag/comments/1iwrc3w/real_maytag_set_from_its_heydays/
- Grab the Maytag !!!! Those are nice machines made in the US by Tacony. Well worth fixing whatever might be wrong.
- Buy a basic top loader from Maytag or GE (parts are readily available and repairs reasonable) for $800-$1200
- If you just need something basic, buy Maytag.
- the appliance repair guy highly recommended buying Whirlpool or Maytag bc the parts are less expensive and they are easy to repair.
Cons
- Because Maytag is what have been a nightmare for us
- the beauty of its simplicity and lack of lid lock (the bane of my existence on our Maytag that came with the house and balancing)
- My $1300 Maytag special order dishwasher died after 3 years.
- The Maytag isn’t a bad machine, same as the Riccar R30/Simplicity S30. You’ll need red collared Riccar R30 bags to go with it. If you get the opportunity, open up the handle and make sure the wires aren’t melted. That was a common issue...
- the Maytag sounded off, and I don't have a bunch of info on Maytag vacs...
