Favorable Review

Great top loader with good endurance

NOV

2007

My husband bought this machine when my wringer washer died. I was thrilled, as it washed the clothes very well, and could be stuffed with a lot before it wouldn't do the job. Has been very dependable, like the Maytag commercial states, just didn't like the small cone shaped softner dispenser as it... read full review »

Critical Review

Performa was a big disappointment. Wouldn't buy it again.

MAY

2008

After having a great set of Maytags that worked beautifully for more than a decade, I bought the Performa set a few years ago. I can't wait to get rid of them. They still run, but they also shake, vibrate, sound like freight trains and tie my clothes into knotted ropes. We have adjusted the legs repeatedly...

This washing machine is great for the money. I found it a good buy and it washes clothes pretty good. My only thing was that it can get out of balance easy if you put to many clothes or if they aren't put in evenly. I would recommend this product to people even though it gets out of balance easy because still does wash pretty well. Like I said, for the price it is a good deal.

Machine description says it's large load capacity but it is not!

appreciate reliability

MAY

2008

I have a large family, four children, my husband and I. I was told by the appliance salesman that this model had a large capacity load capability. I have found that the machine can only handle five or six towels at a time. It will also only handle 4 pairs of jeans and will not even hold anything above a full size blanket or comforter. If you try to put any more in the machine than the amount mentioned the machine goes off balance. The inside of the machine is deeper instead of wider so you have to bend over pretty far to get clothes out.
I spend my money very wisely especially... read full review »

the delicate cycle stopped working; perm press full of wrinkles

appreciate reliability, picking up after pets

the delicate cycle stopped working; permanent press cycle is full of wrinkles. The delicate cycle is probably the most important cycle to me....so it's hard to "love" this washer. The other 2 cycles work fine, but the permanent press cycle leaves clothes all wrinkled....

Bad Machine - qualifies for Lemon Policy by Sears.

2008

I purchased my Matag Model A8557AWW washing machine two years ago and I have had a repair man out over six times during this period. The repair man replaced the transmission on the last appointment and I just called to schedule another repair because the drum is cutting into something and leaving strips of white plastic in my wash. It is also making a horrible noise when it spins out and it is not off balance. Fortunately I have the master protection plan on this product because I would have had to replace it at my own expense if I didn't. The manufacturer's warranty is useless. We...

I love my Magtag--first time ever had one. The basin is extra large and has alot of different cycles to choose from. It also has many different many water levels. It has warm, cold and a mixer of both water temperatures. The cycles are from mini to extrs large. You can also choose a light wash which saves power. This is the best washer I have owned in over 30 years. I would highly recommend this washer,

This is a very neat machine, it washes my clothes very well and doesnt take long at all. It comes in handy, i havnt had any trouble out of this washing machine. The dails on the washing machine are very easy to read and come in handy, it doesnt hurt my back to bend over becuase it seems to be sitting up higher than my other washing machine did. It cleans most of my clothes very well. You can put alot of clothes in one load at a time.

Gets the stains out!

not very handy

This is a great machine. I love it. It gets stains out where the ones at the laundry mats sometimes don't. When I put my clothes in I wondered if they would get clean and they did. I was amazed. It worked beautifully. Better than expected. Much better than the machine I owned in the past. Great product. Would recommend to family and friends definitely.

Good but not great

This machine does a good job but not a great job. Usually the clothes are clean but they do get knotted up, and stretched out. It usually doesn't come unbalanced but does make loud noises when it is over full. Usually the machines runs effeciently and quietly. It good on the water bill and doesn't take alot of electricity. For the price it is pretty cost effecient.

I purchased the Maytag Performa a while ago and have loved it every since. I've probably already washed 500 or more loads of laundry in this machine and it has worked perfectly. It was a little noisy at first, but once all the bugs go worked out it has been great. I would definately recommend this product to anyone who is looking to purchase a washing machine.

This machine has done me wonders over the past 4 years and hasn't let me down yet. It does it's job and has paid for itself more than enough. I recomend this product to anyone and any family. Five stars out of five (5/5). If you are looking for a great way to clean your laundry and get what u pay for then this product is for you.

This washer is awesome for the money. Plenty of options for what you pay. It has a hand-wash option on the dial. This is wonderful . . . it's such a delicate cycle that you can wash pantyhose without putting them in a garment bag. I have had mine for 3 years now and not one problem.

Broke in less than three years

This maytag machine was average at best while we owned it, but the kicker was when it started to squeel and stink and just stopped working in less than three years of owning it. Of course it cost almost a third of the machine to get it fixed and we chose to get a different brand. wish us luck.
