Maytag Neptune - Front Load Washer Model #MAH9700 Review

Nice design and quite. it takes a lot of space but is water efficient. cleans well, especially whites. Uses little soap. It is good to get extended warranty as this new technology can break down due to the high cost of electronics. This washer like many of it competitors take lots of space. Not good in a small apartment. They also must be planned on a solid foundation as they vibrated if not. Also the water pipes must be tightly fitted along the walls as they can vibrate when the machine starts. When it starts the water starts and stop often in the pre soak and this causes the pipes to vibrate and make lots of noise.

Make sure that the heavy items like pants not get washed with shirts as the machine can get out of balance and vibrate. Also separate the colors and fabric type because the high speed of the spinning can rub the items and discolor some of them. Do not put items on the machine when it is in use as this can dis-balance the machine and cause vibration.

You do not need to buy the sister dryer if yours is still good. This will save you lots of money and space. If you have back problems you can buy the optional stand. This will make it higher and you do not need to lean down as much.

You will save money in electricity. You will also consume less water which makes this more environmental sound. Also do not use the amount of soap this is suggested by the manufacturer or the soap company. They also suggest more.
