scottshell4 says "Well worth the money I spent." about Maytag Washer - Epic Z Model #MHWZ600TW

Our dryer went last year. We decided to get a new washer and dryer set. I have always owned the top loading washers. My husband told me we should go with the front loading machine. I wasn't sure how I would like it. The salesman at the store showed us the Maytag Epic Z set that was on sale. It was still a little more then I wanted to spend. He said it was Energy Star and would save me money that way. It was a little getting used to having to bend down but, I loved the front loader better then any other washer I have owned. It has a larger capacity so I can put more clothes in it. It has quite a few different settings on it. It has the time remaining displayed on it so, you know when it will be done. You can easily add a garment once it has started washing. I did have a problem when I first put it on the cleaning cycle. I used bleach in it like it said to and it leaked out onto my carpet and bleached it. I called the company and they were not sure why it did it. I later found out that it...

MrsKleen50 says "too much vibration!" about Maytag Washer - Epic Z Model #MHWZ600TW

MrsKleen50 — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 15:53:05 GMT

Since installation 4 service calls have been made on my Maytag Epic z washer. I love the cleaning. But the vibration (it is on the high pedestals) is horrible. The next step (after tightening the leg nuts up against the washer) and putting pads under the front feet to keep it from walking is to replace the shocks. Has anyone else had this happen? I'm worried I chose the wrong washer even though Consumer Reports rated it "low vibration". The shocks are supposed to be here on Monday. Hope this is the ticket to get it to stop shaking the whole house. Customer service has been timely and very courteous but that is not helping the problem.

today is April 6 09 and the A&E repair tech installed new shocks and tightened legs AGAIN and of course with the load almost dry the vibration wasn't too bad. He left and I added soap and washed the load. Well, the washer is now setting right up against the dryer in the front (it was 2 inches aways from the dryer) and the back is about 4 inches...

ladywith5kids says "Do Not Buy a Maytag or GE appliance!" about Maytag Washer - Epic Z Model #MHWZ600TW

After doing much research to find an energy efficient quality washing machine, I bought a Maytag Epic Z model MHWZ600TW in late November, 2007. By the summer of 2008 I began noticing noises during the spin cycle. By fall 2008 I realized my machine had a problem and was going to need repairs. I also realized my warranty was about to expire and so purchased the extended warranty (which I never do). I first requested service on 12/19/2008 and a repair person came to my house and removed my washing machine on 12/26/2008. Shortly after picking up my machine the repair person called to let us know that the bearings were gone as water had leaked into the sealed compartment that holds the bearings (a problem that would be covered even without the extended warranty). It seems this has been a problem with these machines and I had lots of company. Parts were back ordered with no estimated time of arrival. I called GE (owner of Maytag now) to express my concern that I had a fairly...

SouthernHome says "I love the way this washer cleans my clothes" about Maytag Washer - Epic Z Model #MHWZ600TW

I love my Maytag Epic Z front loading washing machine.
It's great to be able to wash large loads and comforters. My only complaint is the noise and movement during the spin cycles. It is balanced according to the person that installed it, but it is very noisy and moves 3 to 4 feet during the spin cycle.

CssReb — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 14:08:17 GMT

The Maytag Epic is awesome. Even clothes that have been washed a thousand times in my old washer came out as clean as they were when they were brand new. Love the 4.0 cu.ft. capacity. I can wash one big load of colored, white or dark clothes in 40 minutes and the spin cycle is so powerful clothes take less time to dry....

I always like the Maytag commercials that remind us that their washing machines never need a repairman, and to my surprise, it's true... REALLY! Even though this is the only front-load washer i have ever owned, i have little to complain about, literally. Hopefully it'll run on & on & on:)

I have had nothing but problems with the Epic Z 600TW - it leaks, it's already failed 2x and we are on our 2nd unit in 12months. I will never buy from them again

I will never go back to a top loader again. This front loader not only saves me money by using less soap, less water and less energy. I would recommend this to anyone.

darkridedp says "Whirlpool in sheep's clothing" about Maytag Washer - Epic Z Model #MHWZ600TW

darkridedp — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 01:03:19 GMT

This is my third Neptune, and replaced the second one, a Maytag-branded Samsung machine that caught fire. It does OK, but now that Whirlpool owns Maytag, they need to do some work on the computer logic that controls the machine. Many times, it just won't spin because it can't get the load balanced. It just gives up and leaves the clothes sopping wet. The logic in my original US-built Maytag Neptune was flawless, and would just keep trying until it got the clothes spun out. I wish I had not left that machine behind when I moved.

It also takes MUCH longer to do a load and the clothes don't come out as clean as they did from the original Neptune. The machine is also MUCH rougher on the clothes. I find tons more lint in the dryer lint trap than with the original Neptune.

The big kicker, though, is that Whirlpool hasn't figured out that some people need to reverse the door on the washing machine. They now control a huge proportion of the market with Whirlpool/Kenmore and now Maytag, and they're...

AussieNana3 says "Not so sure on this one!" about Maytag Washer - Epic Z Model #MHWZ600TW

AussieNana3 — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 01:45:54 GMT

I love Maytag and have used the brand for over 40 years. But my most recnt front loader, the 2006 model is not the best. So now I am afraid of this as well. They came with drawers that go underneath. Not a good idea! The floor shakes and it dances after 2 repairmen came out and said it was balanced. I wrote Maytag and never got an answer and the hotline never responds because it's an answering machine that doesn't return messages. I paid over $2000.00 for the washer and matching dryer. I love a lot of things about both but the 'Wrinkle Release' and 'Wrinkle Reducer" have not proved to be good things yet. I am a perfectionist when it comes to laundry. I raised 4 kids and I am now on grandchildren. Did my husbands LT FF uniforms for years with great compliments. ALL in a MAYTAG. But not this newer model.Dryer has problems with the timer that only happens when the repairman is not looking at it. On the plus, the water saving happens and is great. But the electrical bill. well with all the......
