Overview

Maytag Epic Series is comprised of front load washers. These are the latest offerings of Maytag Appliance Company. When it comes to washing machines, Maytag knows its way in and out. Its founder was one of those first washer distributors. Today, Maytag is known globally.

They have also extended in their area of expertise. Other than washing machines, they are also selling kitchen and household appliances. All of which can help make life a lot more convenient. This way, people have more time on their hands to do more important things.

Some of the washing machine models from this line are the MHWZ400T, MHWZ600T and the Epic Z. What makes Maytag a cut above the rest is that they have been in this business for quite some time now and they know what to do and what not to do. Let me tell you more about the features of these washing machines.

Main Features

Since Maytag Epic washers are front loaders, expect them to be more energy efficient. These machines are incorporated with h-axis engineering. Instead of dumping your laundry vertical, you use a front door where the tub will tumble in a gravity-defying motion instead of spinning which is the usual case from top loaders. Because of the tumbling action, they consume less energy, water and detergent.

In these series of washers, you can find features such as Spin Speeds (where it can let you control how fast it is supposed to spin), temperature settings (to control the water temperature), and a delay start option (so you can program the washer to start when you want it to start). In addition to this, the following features can also be found:

• IntelliTemp Automatic Temperature Control—This allows the machine to measure the right temperature needed to clean your clothes. If warm water setting is unnecessary, it will choose the right temperature. This way, you can save more energy.
• Rainfall Clean Wash System—The drum is incorporated with tiny holes that will allow better cleaning and rinsing cycle. No need to use extra rinse option if you have this feature.
• MaxExtract extended Spin—You have the option of using the MaxExtract extended Spin which basically prolongs the last spin cycle in order to get rid of more moisture from your clothes. This way, you do not need to dry your clothes up in your dryer far too long.

Likes/Dislikes/Price/Rating

Likes: The features are quite spiffy. This is expected from a front loader but Maytag did a good job in making the features a lot more unique and modern. Nearly all the features aim to reduce energy and water consumption. Its efficiency in cleaning clothes is also remarkable. Clothes come out clean.

I think this is the real essence of using a washer. It should really produce cleaner and fresher clothes. For a front loader, it is also a cheaper choice. Usually, front loaders cost more than $1,300. There is also a reduction of noise. Maytag Epic washers produce less noise compared to other front loaders. Consumers living in small spaces might like this benefit.

Dislikes: It does have its share of machine failures. There are consumers who report of programming error. The advanced features and the fast spin cycle might compromise the durability of the machine. But the good news is, you can always use the warranty given by Maytag.

Price: $500-$700

Rating: 4 stars

Summary Review

The price for the Maytag Epic washers is surprisingly low for a front load washer. You should expect more like $1,300 or so. But who are we to complain about cheap front loaders?

The features of this series of washer are also a winner. The noise reduction system allows you to operate without waking up sleeping neighbours. Its energy efficiency is also commendable. Other than being naturally energy efficient, its sensors and intelligent washer features can help you cut back on energy consumption. This is a good choice not only for those people looking for ways on how to lessen energy bills but also for people who want eco-friendlier washers.

Its water and detergent-saving efficiency makes way for a reliable washing machine. Its durability is something to be tested. It did receive some complaints about washer errors and faults. However, those complaints are only minimal. In addition to that, you can take advantage of its warranty. This will assure you that can make the most out of your purchase.

I am sure you can find a lot of front load washers out there but do look for Maytag Epic washing machines. It’s a real value for your money.
