The Most Powerful Cleaning in its class driven by the PowerWash® cycle The PowerWash® cycle boosts cleaning action with heated water to drive the Most Powerful Cleaning in its class. (Based on cleaning score of 14-lb load, among leading top load brands, 3.9 cu. ft. and below capacity agitator washers, PowerWash® cycle vs. comparable cycles.)
Deep Water Wash Option For more water when you want it, choose the Deep Water Wash option to fill the wash basket with an optimal water level. The extra water works with the PowerWash® agitator to effectively break up and rinse away crusted-on messes.
Auto Sensing Option Fight everyday stubborn stains with the Auto Sensing option, which adjusts the water level for each load to provide efficient, concentrated cleaning.
Stainless Steel Wash Basket The stainless steel wash basket wicks moisture away from clothes and is tough enough to resist wear and tear for years to come.
Nice review. You gotta reference the model to make it useful tho. Thank you for the video
Great review! I'm glad you clarified that it's actually the 4.2 cu. ft. size. Now that I know it handles a king comforter, I'm going with this exact model. Thanks so much.
No problem! Thanks for watching 🥞🥞🥞
Actually you said 5.2 cu ft in the video. Can you clarify, please? I'm ready to place the order.. A model number would also be greatly appreciated, thanks!
Did you reply to Christine’s question about the correct cubit ft size I heard same thing in video 5.2 nor 4.7
We've had ours now for three years, bought it with the matching dryer. No issues at all. I use Affresh once a month and it never smells. I don't need bells and whistles just clean clothes.
I just bought this yesterday. My 2yr old, yes, 2yr old whirlpool died and needed to be replaced. It was on sale for a good price. Seems like a nice washer. It will be here in a week and a half. I like the auto sensing. Saves water.
What model is this?
@@urbanpelon mvwc565fw. Just got it today. Did 2 loads and it did a nice job. The key is will it last a good # of years.
No appliance will last 30 years in today's world
I'm about to purchase one. My basic whirlpool washer I've had since I was single, 20 years ago, finally said 'retired'.
My advice is dont get this one. Find the ones with a actual water level knob.
@@kybblewhich would u recommend
@@davidarchangels6500 don't have the , model in front of me. But the speed queen commercial model minus the coin operations. Washers and dryers don't have to be cute, the just have to get clothes clean.
MVWB835DW1 - We’ve had our Brazos XL for just over four years. We’ve been moderately
happy, a few hiccups here and there. Last month (four years and four
months) my wife mentioned the spin cycle is “very loud”, sounds like an
airplane is taking off. The gear case/transmission bearings are going
out. So, I’m going to replace the assembly this weekend. A $250 repair
for me, about $500 for a repairman. If you research this topic, you will
discover the life span of the gear case/transmission bearings are
between three and five years. We hope you have better luck.
Nice video sir me and my wife went out and brought the same one for our new house thanks 🙏 a bunch!!!!
Thanks man!! We’ve owned it for over a year and so far I don’t have any complaints.
I'm going through this right now. Enjoyed the video!
Yeah buddy!
Would like to see what Maytag considers as "enough" water for washing. Most efficiency washers don't use nearly enough water. Also was hoping to see what kind of agitator was inside.
You have a great point. Depending on the load we'll use the "Deep Water Wash Option" which definitely adds enough water in there. At 2:13 you can see the agitator a little. In hindsight, I should've had a better view though. Here's a link to the washer on Maytag's website. Scroll down a little and you can see the agitator in full view. www.maytag.com/washers-and-dryers/washers/top-load-washers/p.top-load-washer-with-the-deep-water-wash-option-and-powerwash-cycle-4.2-cu.-ft.mvwc565fw.html?
@@gochefgo thanks! have found the deep water options usually apply only to large loads; i usually have small-medium and hate to waste *that* much water :-)
@@gochefgo The agitator in there is actually not a literal agitator it doesn't push the clothes down, by that I mean the top cork screw part turns the same way as the bottom scrubbing part which means when it's washing it will push the clothes down but then push them back up, so some of the clothes up top will never reach the scrubber at the bottom and the clothes at the bottom due to that fake agitator there won't really be rollover, they will constantly get beaten by the scrubber making them wear out faster! Not good, and machines these days are not built like the old ones there are some plastic components in there, so it lasting 30 years is kinda impossible for today's machines.
If you set it on Normal wash, with deep water wash or auto sensing, it’s not enough water to cover a medium size load of clothes being washed. If you choose deep water wash,, bulky sheets it will end up deeper than your clothes eventually.
That's what I'm talking about.. Where do you find a big washer that fills up, like the "old" washers used to! It's very frustrating.
Unfortunately it’s still a HE washer and has poor wash performance. That’s a wash plate with just a tiny clothes mother stuck onto it, it’s really not an agitator Whirlpool tried to trick consumers into thinking it’s performing like the old ones, and they couldn’t be farther than that. I recommend when that goes, if it hasn’t already, to buy a used classic set. Nothing too old if you don’t want that, they still made classic Whirlpool direct drives up until 2011 and they were very nice looking modern machines. Just a tip if you ever look for something else someday and want quick, dependable results with absolutely no electronic shit at all!
It would be nice if you identify the model number.
Ours is 6 days over 2 months in our house. It won’t drain and spin. I have to keep resetting it to get it to spin. It’s making a horrible clicking noise. It does not use enough water either. But! Yesterday it kept filling and filling. It’s a piece of crap. Broken after such a short time! We are on a WAITLIST for repair! We are two people and don’t do mountains of laundry. This should not have happened. AND it happened to my friends who bought the one up from this one. Be afraid, be very afraid and ready to lose $550.
Mine is brand new, store won’t take it back. I’m dumping it at the front door of the Brick. Piece of complete garbage.
Never buy Samsung/LG front loaders unless you like buying a new one in 5 years! The crap metals used for the Spider Arm will start to break apart after the first wash! I am a victim and will be buying a top loader!
Samsung/LG make some decent appliances but their washer/dryers just don't have the same quality as these Maytag's.
Trying to do laundry again. Bought it brand new $800 not even a month. Absolutely a piece of garbage. Can’t even explain how disgusted I am with the retailer. All sales final I’m told. Well they would have to be when you pull a con like this. Thank you to The Brick Windsor Ontario Canada.
Last week my Whirlpool washer was no longer was worth repairing but I’m not upset because it was twenty three years old. Now it has needed repairs which I always did it myself. But from what I reading while researching for another machine I am finding out so far that speed queen may not be a bad machine but cost as a beater used car .
If I may ask, what dryer do you have? And do you like your dryer? I’m in the market for a washer and dryer and overwhelmed by all the options out there
Can you give an update please?
Ummmm, would have been better to actually see you wash a load of clothes.. I just purchased the same unit and it will take some getting use to. If you think your clothes will be submerged for a thorough wash……. not going to happen. Try the ol yellow micro fiber rag trick. Start your cycle, and just before the agitator starts to spin, place a micro fiber rag on top. I guarantee you…..if you check the cycle in 10 minutes or more, that rag will still be sitting right on top where you placed it. Should’ve just had my old one repaired again. ☹️
This is model MVWC565FW for reference!

Not good, and machines these days are not built like the old ones there are some plastic components in there, so it lasting 30 years is literally impossible for today's machines. Also that maytag is not 5.2 cubic feet, it's actually 4.2 cubic. So if any of you think that your clothes are getting clean in this washer especially if it's king size comforter, think again and watch a few full cycle videos on this machine so you will know what's happening under that lid and trust me, you won't like it, and I wouldn't be surprised if you were disappointed.
Which one would you recommend? I want one with a working agitator
@@lilycastillo6491 the LG WT7305, because CR rated that agitator machine there #1 rated agitator washer.
My new washer won't drain all the water out, it sits under basket and 3.5 cubic way too small on mine. Trying to return.
MVWC465HW
30 years is a little far fetched. I would say 10 years before a major component fails
Yeah you are probably right. Although my parents have had their washer for 16 years now. Hopefully my appliances just hold out until I move.
@@gochefgo if you *ACTUALLY* want a washer that can possibly last 30 years, you'll have to go with Speed Queen if you actually want your machine to last 30 years.
Thanks for the review
I bought this washer 2 weeks ago... does yours do this annoying pause and go sound as well? And like a tick sound? Maybe I'm not using it right 🤔.
Hmmmmm ......to be honest I’m not sure if I have ever noticed. I’ll make sure to listen for it and let you know!
Mine is making that sound. That’s why I came here to see
@@tiptip706 mine is brand new. Does the same thing yours does because it stops and turns while drizzling water on the clothes like maple syrup on pancakes. Piece of garbage. Store won’t accept return. I can see why.
Nice video! I'm planning to buy those same washer/dryer! Oh by the way, your handsome😘
Thank you so much for watching Rubi, the machines don't look too bad either.😉I bet you're 'gonna love them as much as I do.
I know ! I love em❤

A washer these days especially a cheaper one like that will almost definitely not last 30 years 10-12 if you're lucky
How do I put the soap? When I do it seems to drip through the holes and not stay
30 years? Wouldn’t that be nice?
Mine lasted 6 years
holy shit that's perfect
Nice video but I've watched 11 of these videos trying to figure out what Power wash does? 😫
I like the old school ones with manual water levels no bullshit water saving crap !!
Hello!!! I think I would like to get this washer. I know this review is a few years old but could you tell me the model number? I’m having trouble googling this washer. Can’t seem to find one like this. Thank you
Please tell us about the noises the machine makes. Would love to hear/see video of various cycle sounds (wash & spin). Mine is brand new, and seems as noisy as my old machine. Grinding noise when agitating, clicking during spin, etc.
Mine 2 days old - piece of scrap. Maytag is a joke.
My landlord in the apartment building I rent from just bought a new Maytag MVWC565FW2, Commercial washer, ten year warranty. I noticed by either auto sensing or Deep water fill that amount of water filling is the same and doesn't cover the load even for a small load. I told the landlord that I had been adding extra water to it and he's freaking out on me saying adding more water will damage or strain the motor if I do ? I'll have to contact Maytag and see what they say ? I did notice with the Auto Sensing that during the wash cycle that it did add more water to basin for the Bulky clothes wash setting. Maybe it's best to use that cycle ?
I have the same problem. It doesn't fill with enough water to cover clothes.
How long does it take to wash
Model #'s Please and how ling have you owned/ used them cuz they look very new. They don't last past approx 5 yrs.
Mine lasted almost 7
Need help to fixed it
I just bought a brand new one, I'm not impressed with it. Good review though.
Can I ask what issues you have with this machine? I was considering buying this one but want something that cleans and with no hassles.
@@bethlowe8688 It does not clean the clothes thoroughly enough for me, I was not impressed, some clothes didn't seem or smell all that clean to me, and Lowe's do not honor the warranty. Quite frankly I got it off the strength of the Maytag name alone, but it seem's like their brand fell off, or at least this model.
I have a Maytag that’s about 2 years old and I absolutely HATE it! Even on deep fill, it won’t add enough water unless you have something lite in it. Washing blue jeans only is a know go as this unit determines water level by weight. Have to add water to get clothes fully wet, otherwise the same clothes ride on top and never actually wash. My unit has a glass top so I can see how this machine sucks balls! Thinking about trashing this piece and buying a roper unit that has a water level knob so I can actually select how much water I want. 👎🏿
I have the same issue. I can get enough water even when I choose the deep water wash option. I hate how washing machines decide the level of water for you.
Why dont u buy front load washer?
I find that the top load washer are the easiest to clean!💧💧💧
Hate 2 disappoint you, but this is not going 2 last you 30 years, only the old school washers do that, think of speed queen, back in the day Kenmore when sears owned them , Maytag (commercial washers.) good luck with this though, it does not have the bells and whistles and looks old school, but it's not, 4 one the agitator is totally useless, but hey as long as yo are happy with it and it cleans 2 your standards that's all that matters
Well you are certainly not the first person to let me know that my expectations are too high for these machines. It’s a bummer to hear because I really thought that this Maytag was the same unit as the old standard. Thanks for watching 🥞
kansas66204: Even my 1992 Maytag barely lasted 26 years. By then it badly leaked transmission oil and one day water all over the floor! I would have had to replace the tub bearings and tub seal, and the transmission. That would have cost probably more than a new washing machine.
What is a powerwash?
We have the same washer. Bought august 2020. Any other maintenance tips?
I would make sure that if anyone else uses the washer in your house to train them on the appropriate amount of soap. With the HE soap you really don't need a whole lot. Saves you some money in the long run.
@@gochefgo good point, thanks!
@@gochefgo I bought the same set, i was definitely using to much soap. Just started using 1 pod per load (medium load). Thanks
I have the same washer and for some reason its staining my clothes. I feel like it needs more water when is washing and rinsing, any suggestions?
We bought a MVWC565FW2 top loading washer and it is a piece of junk. Will not clean clothes, sometimes it will not spin out the clothes. Called Maytag and the assistant wanted to know if we purchased the extended warranty. We did not. the washer is 7 months old. The service tech was somewhat cocky. When I told him the problem, he said, "I have good news, and bad news. The control panel is bad, that is the bad news, good news it will take 4 to 6 months to get the part, and after the warranty is expired, I will not work on them even if you have purchased the extended warranty. Will not buy from Maytag again.
well that seems to be the world that we are living in when it comes to most of these larger corporations. That being said, my washer is operating just as it should.
Jerry Tawney: You would have been probably much better off with an Amana Top Loader. They clean clothes extremely well. Much better cleaning at a bargain price.
First off I have never rented a home where appliances were included I have always had my own and move them with me. This is why so many people fall into trouble after buying home they think every thing must be new, and on seller side why houses are so expensive because they believe you have to include appliances, but that another story.
Second These are the worst washers I have ever own. I have owned it for 3 years now. Almost nonexistent agitation I have put clothes in this washer and ran cycles with door open just to see the and have had clothes stay on top and stay dry. Unrealistic water levels. Auto sensing is a big fat joke. Same with power wash and deep water wash modes. Only way I can get it to add enough water is leave it on auto sense and wet all clothes before you put them in washer. A complete waste of near $800 for it.
There is only 1 plus I can give these machines and that is they have a great spin cycle.
My last washer was a Whirlpool it lasted me 20 years I have 4 kids and a wife. It would be still operational to this day but the city came and replace all of my neighborhoods waterlines in the street and sediment came in and clogged the pump on the washer. Still have the same dryer though 20 year still going. Have changed heating element in it once and the drum belt three times.
You have a great voice, I want to meet you in person
If you like my voice than you should follow me on Only Fans @GreaseThisBum. 🍆🍆🍆
@@gochefgo Oh I’ll take you up on that. I have an only feet if you want to get premium feet pics
Just a reminder of what a piece of junk this new washer is. Refuses to spin the clothes dry. Every bleeping time. Load done, lift the lid, clothes sopping.
It's a piece of crap. I had a Maytag for 25 years it was awesome. It cleaned the clothes completely... I had to replace the belt a couple times but other than that no issues. This Maytag no matter what cycle you use the clothes come out terrible. I wish I'd never given up my old Maytag. HE stands for I don't clean.....
or wash clothes before washing.
Do you recommended Maytag over Samsung? should I avoid Samsung completely?
In my personal experience Samsung makes great electronics, but their appliances aren't that great.
YES! Avoid Samsung!!!
model number ?
Look in the description!
I don’t see the model number in the description...?
Washer is not accepting water 💦 and won't agitate.
What model is this washer?
Large Capacity Top Load Washer with the Deep Fill Option - 3.8 cu. ft.
Maytag MVWC465HW
Maytag MVWC465HW Is 3.8 cu feet but your video stated 5.2 cu ft! 1:41 Please clarify!
Yes please clarify. I found your video when I was looking up the model number of the washer I was interested in. One main concern is a washer that can wash king size comforters. The one I was looking at is a 4.2 so I'm wondering if maybe you just misspoke? If so, this washer is exactly what I'm looking for as long as it washes king size comforters.
@@joslin2005 Our washer is the 4.2 cubic foot model and it is huge! When we were shopping for a new washer at Home Depot, having the capability to wash a king size comforter was a necessity.
Thanks for clarifying the size. That was my question to because we need one for Lv comforters. We in nc and I’m trying to find this one in a store. I looked at the link you had on here and I’m hoping I can find it that way. I like the simplicity of it. Thanks for the info!
This washer is terrible. Can't stand it, taking it back, slow , takes forever to come to a complete stop. Pass hard on this one.
Damn!! Y'all really hate this washer!! I haven't had one hiccup yet.
30 years? Please!
Yeah I know it's a looooong time....But I think that with proper routine maintenance we might be able to make it happen!!!
@@gochefgo Highly unlikely without several repairs. This mechanical design was introduced by Whirlpool in 2010. The bearings are part of the transmission and are going bad in as little as 3 years, 7 to 10 years depending on usage habits. I changed the transmission for bad bearings in May 2019 on a friend's 2012 model. Wishing you best of luck for longer usage.
@@gochefgo no, not happening with today's machines. Today's machines lasting 30 years is actually an impossibility no matter how you maintain them, that's just the way they are built!
@@Blurain727 😢 But I don’t want to buy these expensive things again!!!
@@gochefgo I'm sorry, that just the way these are built these days and they do it for cost cutting.
Maytag has poor factory quality control and no warranty support. mine died after 2 months. They have done nothing for 5 weeks and won't offer an exchange unit I wait 9 weeks for service and parts... never ever ever every buy this brand.
Maytag brand new - complete piece of garbage. Forget 16 weeks waiting because of COVID-19. Wash cycle is just as long. Joke. Fire everyone involved in its design.
Yo compre una lavadora mayteg tienes tres años y ya he gastado 700 dólares en respiraciones siempre el mismos problemas, la peor lavadora que he tenido en mi vida.
Ahora cuan lavadora tienes? Estoy por comprar una lavadora y no se cual. Tengo una secadora de marca Maytag y ha salido muy buena.
