MVWP575GW Maytag Commercial Top Load Bulky Towels Cycle Deep Water Extra Rinse 5 Pairs of Jeans

[@Cooldude84343]

Wow, that is an AWESOME machine! I like that it has a regular agitator with fins on the bottom as opposed to the impeller with an auger. It did a fantastic job moving those jeans around. I wish it had more options tho as far as smaller loads. I'm assuming Normal will do a spray rinse? Any chance you could do normal with extra rinse to see if it will do a deep rinse like on the Amana models? Thanks so much for making all of these videos with jeans for me, I'm gonna owe you some new ones lol :)

[@kirkrivas8172]

Those jeans do not fit anymore. It's all good.

[@applianceman6009]

Yes, the unlike the Speed Queens from 2017 and under, the 2018 models suck! This Maytag is awesome! Just like what the Maytag Man says, "What's inside matters!"

[@Glasher1]

Kirk Rivas Fine video, sir, and the following is just my experience and opinions. I'm glad to see the Extra Rinse option. I have issues with a single rinse cycle getting enough detergent out (while use skin sensitive detergents). I've always gave loads an extra rinse cycle manually. Meanwhile, not helpful for those with limited room or funds for an additional appliance, an extractor gets bit more of that detergent baring water out of your clothing and saves money in the long run (Drying time is shorter saving energy cost and extending life of the dryer and clothing.). Living in an apartment, we fall into the not enough room reason for not having an extractor. There one more (added effort) method I've used was to put a hose splitter on the cold water source for the washer and a second hose available to run water by hand during a spin cycle. That will flush additional detergent out. You will need to run a full spin cycle afterward of course. The older the machine the easier to defeat the spin cycle stop when the lid is open as well. Being in the market for a new machine, I guess my question is if you know off the top of your head of other machines, besides this one (now on my list) in the mid range that you might suggest looking at? I am actively looking myself so please don't think I just being lazy.

I had the same experience, went to buy a speed queen 2018 with deep convection. then saw the Maytag next to the speed queen, sale lady explained the feature which she knew I was looking for 2017 model and knew I did my research, told me it had everything I was looking for and Maytag offered the same quality as speed queen as well warranty. I was sold and they built it on the same line as their commercial washer machine. bought the last one which was the floor display got $80 of the already $100 rebate. Before I bought it, went on youtube and watch video plus comments, it was the nail on the coffin. Had it for one day and so far Love it, too bad for speed queen I was looking forward to being a first-time customer. Hope Maytag continues to make them for years to come, love for people to experience what a real washing machine can do.

[@SecurityPro93]

I just got my new Maytag. I’m impressed. For those curious about if this machine lets you use true hot water-I used the powerwash cycle and used hot water. I measured 129.9 degrees after washing began. My water heater is on 135. So I’m very happy. I’m sure it may add cold on the normal cycle not sure. Will post later on. Thanks Kirk for your videos. They helped me in my decision making.

[@SecurityPro93]

I washed clothes on normal and the hot water isn’t straight hot. So if you want all hot use powerwash!! :)

[@SecurityPro93]

Just an update. I’ve washed my queen size comforter no problems. It’s a great washer. I like that on powerwash cycle it does a deep fill rinse and 3 spray rinses. Unlike other washers who spray water at the agitator this washer actually drenches your clothes then spins them out. Excellent washer.

The dual agitator and full tub of wash and rinse water washes as well if not better than my old direct drive Roper. Not a lot of options but I care more about a thoroughly cleaned wash than I do all the features. I usually only use a couple different settings anyway, I'm a simple guy.

I just like the option that my really old Maytag now has of doing a small load.

[@LMOBPRODUCTION]

@@nancymerrey1672 not to sure about small loads. That could be one of the cons of the machine. If not mistaken when the dial is set to normal the wash is shorter and I notice that when washing loads I will hear the washer add water. Not sure if it has a water/wash sensor. Over all, if you want a old style washer that deep cleans, then this Maytag is your best option. Also I seen KZbin videos that state and show that speed queen listen to their customer and went back to pre 2017 model. So now you have more options. I would search for the new speed queen after 2019 that have more options for small loads etc. the sale person should have know about the updated speed queen. Hope I was able to help. Best of luck. 😎

Everything comes out clean. Only one draw back is very loud. But what do you expect if you want clean clothes.

[@garykarczewski6678]

Curious if you were to buy a commercial grade TL machine would you go with this one or a 2017 Speed Queen? Features Benefits, build quality comparisons?

[@kirkrivas8172]

This is a very loaded question. But I will keep it short and sweet. No doubt the 2017 Speed Queen is a great machine, but the 2017 models are just about gone. While Speed Queen is transitioning their top load washer design, Whirlpool took the opportunity to introduce a true competitor. It seems Whirlpool did their home work plus has more experience in the HE style top load washers. I look at build quality two different ways. First, I love seeing metal everything and appreciate the heavy weight of an object. This makes it feel solid, secure and strong. Secondly, on the other hand, I appreciate a well engineered machine. Not all parts of a machine need to be overbuilt. A smart design can use metal and plastics together (only reinforce what needs to be reinforced) this makes it more affordable. I'm not a mechanical engineer although I studied chemical engineering at the University of Texas (dropped out after 5 years) so I do not feel qualified to talk about build quality between the two machines. Features, in the most basic sense, are easy to compare. They both use plenty of water to wash and rinse. I like the simultaneous drain and spin of the Speed Queen(2017 only). I like the dual action agitator of the Maytag. I have owned a front load washer (Frigidaire and Electrolux) for the past 18 years. I felt pressure to buy a 2017 Speed Queen top loader before they disappeared, but after the introduction of the Maytag, the pressure went away. I decided just to keep the Electrolux front loader. Sorry for the vagueness, but I'm a dealer for both brands and my videos circulate in the corporate offices.

[@Cooldude84343]

I also couldn't believe how short the wash time was, I think it was around 9 minutes. At first I was like thats not long enough, but then again I said look at how it washes, just like the direct drive machines, and that was PLENTY of time in those.

How do you remove the lid switch? I want to do that to mine. I figured out how to do it on my old MaytagLA412 but not this one yet. The way I see it if their going to make machines like that they should at least use glass lids that you can see through.

[@petermaz701]

Great washer but I feel that they made two overlooks with this washer 1 no water level control (say you want to wash a few delicate pieces why a complete deep fill) and secondly no SOIL level adjustment. That’s being frugal on there part in my opinion other then that, it washes very well. Only time will tell on its longevity.

[@BroccoliBeefed]

@ petermazbabie . After what I've been through with anemic water miser HE washers, Quite frankly I wouldn't give a rat's ass if this washer fills with more water than it needs. Because that would mean my clothes are getting thoroughly cleaned and RINSED, no matter what! Gee, what a concept.

Is that necessary by design? I don’t recall our direct drives having a basket that moved much if at all.

[@kirkrivas8172]

The direct drive washer were attached to the base (floor of the washer). The new designs are suspended by rods at each upper corner of the machine. Tub is basically hanging on the rods. The motor and drive system are attached to the bottom of the outer tub. I have not opened this machine to confirm on this model.

High LS. I'm doing the exact same comparison and I'm almost certain I'm going to get the Maytag in this video. If you Google the tc5000 and watch videos on it you can see how gentle the agitation is compared to this Maytag. There is even a comparison video between Speed Queen and Maytag commercial with white towels and ketchup that shows a drastic difference between the cleaning ability. Probably will be compromising in longevity but for me my clothes need to be good and thrashed and clean so that's more important to me.

[@LucyFisher-qh2mz]

Hello! Because SQ is still doing their 10yr warranty until the end of the year, we actually bought the SQ TC5/DC5 set yesterday! They won't be delivered until the 30th but I'm excited and can't wait to wash all the things. Where we live this Maytag is almost $1000, same as the TC5 but I was able to get the SQ set for less plus an add'l rebate through the dealer. Based on price, warranty and build I felt good going with SQ especially since I've only read good things. Let me know what you think of the Maytag if you get it! I've never been so excited or ready to wash clothes! We currently have a 2.5yr old GE front load system and despite leaving it open, bleach-cleaning it monthly and using vinegar in the rinse cycle our towels and many clothes smell musty and just ... gross. It has also had black mold issues in the detergent drawer/tunnel even when completely removing it and emptying water then letting it air dry on top of the washer. NEVER AGAIN!! I hope SQ is everything everyone says it is (except for those TR models!).

[@SB-iz2fk]

@@LucyFisher-qh2mz the warranty is a good sign for the SQ. The only thing that will probably turn me is that I wait to do a load when I have a full load and my clothes are usually good and dirty (cleaning, gardening, always spilling coffee and sometimes used instead of a napkin hehe) by the time they are being washed. If I did loads more frequently and wasn't so messy I would go w the SQ. I hope you have the experience you are hoping for. One commenter remarked that she wanted to light her washer on fire and after committing to an appliance you hope to be happy with for 10 years, I could completely feel her pain.

Kirk Rivas could you private message me then? Opening the lid STOPS ALL WASHER AND AGITATION though, so it doesn’t help for the situations I mentioned above.

[@SuperJeremi10]

You know this washer would be perfect if whirlpool could get the load sens to be more accurate and be able to determine if its a small medium or larg load and go back to the 3 water level sizes while still giving the user the option to bypass the load sensing that way it meets the government epa soeca as well. I would be okay with the auto size slect if it could more accurately determine the load size. Like with moter strain or amps instead of weight because there is a lot of items that are large but dont weigh very much sonthe weight calculations are inaccurate. If the load sensing could be better perfected with these agitator washer and havs the ability to manually select the load size the washer woukd be perfect.

Exactly what Marco said, two screws on the lid takes the whatever you call it off the lid and you stick it in the hole in the body which will let the washer run. But beware to put it back on the lid if you ever have a maintenance guy come to service the unit, because it may void the warranty.

[@irwing654]

Obviously great washing action but seems like it will beat the heck out of your clothes. Should be water level settings like the Speed Queen. Don't understand what water level is if you don't use deep water. Wash action seems far superior to the new 2018 Speed Queen top load washers. I cannot believe how hard it is to find a machine that actually washes your clothes. The new fangled top loaders don't do anything whether they have an agitator or not.

How do you set the water level for a smaller load?

[@kirkrivas8172]

The normal cycle uses less water. If you look at the dial, all of the cycles highlighted in blue are deep wash with deep rinse. The normal cycle is less wash water and only a spray rinse.

Want a great machine? Find a Whirlpool made direct drive washer. I had a Maytag 765 "HE" set that was $1900.00, couldn't deal with it's long cycles, and crappy performance, so I sold them, found a 2005 Whirlpool direct drive, rebuilt it at very little cost, and I intend to keep it going as long as I can find parts.... should parts begin to become hard to get, I'll order spares and put them aside. Today's machines are absolute garbage!

[@lakishariley7369]

Can you do presoak and extra Rinse

[@irwing654]

Spin looks really slow. Clothes come out really wet? I really want this washer but cannot afford to make $800 mistake. Also, it's going to use a lot of water!!!

[@mariacastillo5625]

That's what I'm afraid of.

You care about water you must live in a water conscious area, too bad for you because I use 10,000 gallons a day.

You too.

[@irwing654]

If you select Normal cycle, how much water does it use???

[@kirkrivas8172]

I do not know the amount of water it uses, but it will not fill as high and it will do a spray rinse. I encourage my customers to use the extra rinse if they use the Normal cycle.

[@irwing654]

I read that if you use Normal cycle, it fills the tub half full for wash and half full for rinse. I really like the wash action of the 575GW but I'm concerned that it will beat the heck out of my significant other's clothes and delicates. Also, I don't like that you only have two water level choices...full tub or 1/2 full tub. The Speed Queen machines have settings for small, med. and large loads but I don't like the wash action of the new Speed Queen machines. I'm kicking myself for not buying a 2017 Speed Queen top loader. The Maytag 565FW is going back to the store. So, I have to decide on a machine to replace it. Right now, it's going to be the Maytag 575GW or a front loading washer, probably LG. If I get the 575GW and don't like it or it's too rough on the clothes, then I'm sunk because dealers that sell the machine are not going to take it back and it costs around $900 plus tax to buy locally. This is not fun at all. I appreciate what you do, Kirk.

Can this machine handle a horse blanket?

[@kirkrivas8172]

I will throw a delivery blanket in this unit soon. I'll do the one blanket test and then the two blanket test. Even though I'm from Texas, I'm not sure how big the horse blankets are.

[@cnnw3929]

Probably a bit larger than a king-size comforter. I would especially like to see how the two GE units you tested earlier can handle a king-size comforter: The 4.6 cubic foot with the impeller, and the 4.5 cubic foot with the agitator. I really want to see if buying one of those machines would save me money over a front loader. I'm guessing it would be best to wait, and save up for the front loader.

Apparently I am losing it from watching these videos bc I keep expecting this question to go to the ridiculous like can I wash a drum full of legos or my neighbor's cat.

[@devinwhite1706]

I perfer the Maytag Washer.

[@irwing654]

Great washing action but looks like the machine tangled up those jeans pretty good. I didn't see any indication that they came out "dripping wet." Right now, my head is spinning. No clue what machine to buy. Time to sleep on it.

[@kirkrivas8172]

We sold plenty of these machines, one had a problem, the shifter was bad, but it was intermittent so it was hard to diagnose but we finally solved the problem. You can buy the Maytag with confidence.

[@irwing654]

Thanks for the input, Kirk. What really scares me about the Maytag is the slow spin speed issue. If the clothes come out of the washer "dripping wet," they will take much longer to dry and shorten the life of my dryer as well. I might spring for a Speed Queen TR7 but I just can't get past that washing action. Recently, I was told by someone in the appliance business, "I would not buy a Speed Queen and I am not selling the new Speed Queens to my customers...period." I'm ready to buy an Amana washer for $399 and call it a day. Throw it away when it breaks in a year or two.

[@nancymerrey1672]

@@irwing654 i called my plumber to make sure our old house could handle the draining from a Speed Queen and told him what I was debating between, and he told me he got a $400 Amana to do the shop blankets and he thinks it's GREAT. I'm even more confused.

[@cookiecutterable]

It doesn't have a Clean washer button/knob. I like that. What's with the other models that have a clean button? Never had one on the older machines. They seem to have come out with the clean button on the machines that only use a small amount of water.

[@irwing654]

Heck of a nice machine but uses a ton of water.

[@musicnerd72]

It uses enough water to actually CLEAN clothes! Most HE machines today couldn't wash two socks!

[@chrispixxherr4650]

Exactly as music nerd says, why are people concerned about water usage, I use a lot of water my water bill is like $45 every 3 months.

[@irwing654]

Noise level is not for faint of heart. I want to watch the wash action. Damn you magnetic lid switch.

[@kilgoretrout3875]

Somewhere on KZbin I saw someone place a magnet on another brand machine where the lid closes on top of the magnetic latch. It fooled the machine into thinking the lid was locked. But I thought on this Maytag the lock only locked during spins?
