Whirlpool then purchased this former icon for a mere pittance and smartly shuttered the factory. The new Maytag is now the same as the Whirlpool Duet...
So it should be the price....right?
Alas it is not. The best Maytag the MFW9800 with steam, better spin and heat boost is the same as the basic Whirlpool at $1599 after rebate and almost $400 cheaper than the comparably featured Duet
Steve, I am buying a condo which has a Maytag Neptune washer and dryer (front loading - no window - stackable) system. Is there anything I should be aware of? I have heard there were issues around this product. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThe Neptune had a problem insofar as the outer and inner tanks were not sealed. This created a musty smell due to the inevitable build up of mildew.
ReplyDeleteThats the bad news.
The stackable was manufactured well after the original problems, so it should be exempted. If you are having mildew issues, it is a simple fix. The machine can be rectified by installing a ph kit
The Neptune sans mildew was actually a good machine for its time. There are better machines presently, but it is still worth keeping...
