Overview

When it comes to front load washers, the Maytag Neptune series of washers always come into the picture. Washing machines are the expertise of Maytag Appliance Company. In fact, this is the very first appliance its founder has produced. They are also currently selling appliances such as kitchen appliances but their washers still stand out.

Aside from Maytag Neptune, you can also find other washer series such as Performa, Atlantis and Epic. The Neptune series offer front load and top load washers that can help lessen the burden of washing clothes especially to those who have large clothes washing needs weekly.

Main Features

A typical Maytag Neptune front loader is much more energy efficient because of its H-axis design. Because it does not have the agitator usually found in top loaders, its laundry capacity is bigger. The MAH6700A model, for instance, has about 3.3 cubic feet of capacity. But it is surprising to find that this company also produces top loaders with tub capacity that can rival that of a front load washer. If you take a look at the FAV6800A top loader model, you will find that it has a bigger capacity of 3.5 cubic feet.

Their washers are complete with the nifty features you should expect in modern washing machines such as time indicator, end of cycle signal, extra rinse cycles, quick wash option and temperature options. But in addition to this, you can also find the following extra features that may prove to be beneficial for your clothes washing needs:

• Wrinkle-Free Guard—It ensures that your clothes will come out free from wrinkles. This way, there is no need for you to press your clothes. It saves you more on energy.
• Self-Cleaning Lint Filter—Lint is the collection of fiber that came off your clothes. If your washer has a dryer and lint is not removed, it can clog vent exhaust and cause overheated dryer. With a self-cleaning lint filter, you don’t have to go to the extra trouble of removing tiny lint.
• Direct Drive Motor—it uses direct drive motor. This is a new technology that allows the machine to spin without producing too much annoying sounds. The parts remain intact while the tub fluidly spins.

Likes/Dislikes

Likes

Many people like how clean their clothes come out. Because of its fast spin speed of 1,100, it can remove stains, dirt and mud from your clothes with a hitch. Despite the fast spin speed, it does not produce too much noise. That is thanks to its direct drive motor technology. Many consumers who are living on small spaces appreciate how quiet it is.

Its large capacity is also something to like. You can wash more clothes that you can wash in average washers. But despite that, you need only to use a few scoops of detergent. A little goes a long way for your detergent. This machine works well in removing dirt without using too much of your high efficiency detergent.

Dislikes

Like all other washing machines out there, Maytag Neptune washer series is not exempted from complaints. Some of consumers complain that its end-of-cycle signal is too weak to be heard over the volume of the television. You might need to check on it to see if it has finished cleaning the load. There are a few that complain of the fabric softener not being used or emptied.

There are also some that complain of vibration. Despite its direct drive motor, this washer has to be placed on even surface in order to perform perfectly. You have to balance laundry when you are using the top loader so it will not vibrate.

Price: $700-$1,200
