Overview

The Maytag Performa washing machines are more popular in other countries such as Australia and New Zealand. However, it is also growing more and more popular in the US leading to its very good sales rate. This is one of the latest developments of Maytag Company.

Maytag is known as an appliance company. It was founded by Frederick L. Maytag. He first developed washer lines which is why they are specializing more on this appliance. But you can also find kitchen and other household appliances introduced by this company.

Maytag Performa is better known for its efficient performance. This has been aptly named because most of its consumers are happy with its ability to clean clothes in an efficient and reliable manner.

Main Features

The Maytag Perform washers are no ordinary top load washing machines. Their features can rival, even surpass, that of front load washing machines which is why they are still making it big in the laundry industry despite the availability of more efficient front load washers. The capacity of these washers is big. Take the PAV3855AAW for instance. Users can wash up to 8 kilograms of clothes.

Its cleaning ability is also a good point to consider. Because of its 728 RPM speed, it can remove stains, mud, dirty and grime out of your clothes easily. There are higher spin speed in the market today but I personally think a spin speed no more than 1,100 RPM is better because it is does not put too much impact on the motor. This means it will not break down easily. Here are some more of the features you can find in Maytag Performa:

• FlexiCare agitator—The agitator is a propeller-like object found inside the washer drum. This is what allows a churning and spinning action to facilitate in the drum. In many comparisons between top loaders and front loaders, the agitator always comes out as a caveat. This is because it takes up space in the drum and it is usually harsh on clothes. But with a FlexiCare agitator, it takes good care of the fabric of your clothes. It does not ruin delicates so you can wash them with ease.
• 5 soil level selections—You can program the machine in such a way that it will clean your clothes depending on how dirty it is. The soil level selection will allow you to control the water and detergent needed to clean clothes.
• Load Balance—Imbalance of clothes can lead to vibrations. This machine will tell you when there is an imbalance of load.

Likes: If you usually have large clothes washing needs, you will surely like this washing machine. Some users can even wash three huge pillows using this washer. It does a great job in cleaning clothes too. According to its many users, you do not need to use a lot of detergent in order to get rid of stains in your laundry. Many consumers also like how quietly this machine works. Because of the engineering methods of Maytag, vibrations and noise are reduced.

Dislikes: If you are a picky consumer, you might find the features a little lacking. No bells and whistles, so to speak. But let us go back to the fact that this is a top loader so it lacks the impressive features one can usually see in front loaders. But despite that, its features are pretty much sufficient to get the job done.
