We bought a Maytag centennial about a year ago. I previously had Maytags and loved them. Not this one.
A couple of things I do not like about it. It’s noisier than all heck. Throughout the entire cycle. You also cannot choose your own water level. Many of the new appliances are like state nannies. They do not want you to waste water so the unit senses the size of the load. If you forget to add something and lift the lid it will override itself and fill it to the top regardless of how much laundry you have in there. I can’t figure out how to fix this problem.
We have a Whirlpool Cabrio top loader (without the agitator) and we need to add water manually in order for it to get the clothes clean. Also, the lack of an agitator causes the clothes to constantly bunch up and the machine to stall.
The government has required that washers use less water and no warm or hot water rinses.
That is right, the government.
