People, do yourself and your family a favor and DO NOT
NOT
NOT
buy this machine.
Bottom line, it does not get your clothes clean because it does not allow adequate water for ANY CYCLES.
I must wash each load, twice to even get close to getting them clean.
Also, I discovered that I can only put in about 4 to 6 items MAX per load or they simply will not be adequately saturated (forget
being submerged) with water.
They don't smell clean even after a complete cycle, right out of the washer.

2. I have gone to work several times only to start smelling a moldy smell on my clothes about 1-2 hours into the day.
If I use fabric softener, it only MASKS the odors left in the clothes.
I finally decided to use regular and color safe bleach in EVERY load to try to get them truly clean, and remember, each load gets
washed TWICE !!!
The LARGE CAPACITY is a JOKE because you should never, NEVER, put more than a few items in at a time.
This machine DOES NOT save time, water, money or anything.
The only positive thing I have to say is that the high speed spin gets a great deal of moisture out of the clothes (not that there was a
great deal to begin with) and so the drying time is less.
Keep searching people.
Do not assume, like I did, that the negative reviews were from competitors or "less than tech savvy" people who simply could not
operate modern machinery properly.
THIS ONE IS A REAL LEMON.
I would give it NO STARS, OR NEGATIVE STARS if I could but this particular site doesn't allow that.

The WORST washer I have ever used. Uses too little water, Harsh
on clothes, Annoying functionality, No delicates, Wrings items, June 10, 2012

I absolutely hate this washer. I've owned it for 18 months now and every time I use it I regret the purchase. Here are some of the
reasons I hate it.1. It uses waaaaay too little water. When I bought it the salesman told me that the machine fills to the top of the
clothes plus 1 gallon. That is simply not true. The clothes stick out above the top of the water by 9 inches. The water level is slightly
adjustable by the soil level setting but this only changes the level by an inch or two. I have experimented for hours to try to increase
the water level - the machine is determined to keep the level low probably so that they can get their highest-level energy star rating.
Now you may think that it is a good thing for it to use too little water but when you see how harsh it is on your clothes (item 2
below) and how wrinkled the clothes get (item 4 below) you will change your mind.2. It is extremely harsh on clothes. When I
bought it the salesman told me that the machine is more gentle than older style agitator machines. That is completely untrue. This
washer pills clothes visibly with every single wash. Brand new towels appear old and worn after a few washes. Here is why it is so
harsh. The clothes throughout the load are wet but they are not submerged in water. Only the bottom of the load is submerged in
water. The washer tries to pull the clothes up and down into and out of the water at the bottom. It does so by twisting and spinning
them, similar to the way clothes are twisted when you wring them out. This is harmful for clothes. When clothes are submerged in
water (as in older washers) the water acts as a cushion against rubbing. The water is moved by the agitator and the clothes glide
around in it. The higher the water-to-clothes ratio the more gentle it is on the clothes. The lower the water-to-clothes ratio, the more
tightly the clothes are packed and the more abrasive the rubbing is. This washer is the most extreme case of a low water-to-clothes
ratio because the clothes aren't even submerged at all. They are wet and rubbing hard against one another. To make matters worse
the wringing action, which is done very tightly, is very harmful for anything but the sturdiest of fabrics. Imagine taking a wet shirt
and twisting it as hard as you can from end to end in a wringing action. This is what clothes endure during each load.3. There is no
way to wash delicates in this washer. For all the reasons mentioned in 2, there is no setting on this washer that is acceptable for
delicate clothes. The handwash cycle on this washer is much harsher than the normal cycle was on my old washer. None of my work
clothes can tolerate it.4. Clothes come out incredibly wrinkled, twisted, and knotted. As mentioned in 2, this washer needs to twist
and knot items to move them in and out of the water. When the load is done they remain this way. Bras are all knotted together in
one giant mess that takes forever to undo. I have to first shake items out to untwist them and then dry them on a higher heat setting
than I would otherwise use to get the wrinkling out. Use of the lower-speed spin cycle doesn't really help much because the problem
is largely due to the washing portion of the cycle. The high-speed spin cycle only sets the twisting in even harder.5. There is no way
to change washer settings after the load has started. How many times have you started a load and then decided, "oops I'd rather use
handwash" or "I'd rather use high-speed spin after all". Well forget about changing your mind on this washer. This washer goes
through an extensive calibration cycle at the beginning of each load to figure out how much water to use. The calculations it does
during this time are based on the cycle settings such as soil level, load type, etc. It can't let you change settings once the calibration
cycle has started because its calculations will get messed up. Maytag says that all you need to do is press cancel and restart but what
makes this so incredibly annoying is that cancel drains all the water from the washer. It often happens to me that I want to change
settings after the washer is partly full of water plus soap. To make a setting change I have to throw away the entire load of water and

3. soap. You wouldn't believe the amount of water I've wasted because of needing to press cancel.6. The soak cycle wastes water and
soap because once the soak cycle is complete there is no way to continue using the same water to complete a wash. It gives you no
option but to drain the entire tub after the soak cycle. Then when you want to wash you have to refill it again and add more soap.7.
The calibration cycle takes a long time. As mentioned in 5, this washer goes through an extensive calibration cycle at the beginning
of each load to figure out how much water to use. It takes about 5 minutes and makes the cycle take that much longer with the only
benefit that it is...

With Great Fear and
Trepidation, January 16, 2012

This review is from: Maytag 4.6 Cu Ft. White Bravos XL HE Top Load Washer - MVWB750YW
Our old agitator died with a spurt of smoke and the smell of burning electrics!
So we were off looking for a new machine.
Our memory of our past experience with the Maytag Neptune mold incubator left us wary of buying another HE frontloader.
We decided to look into HE top loaders, since that is what is mostly available at the retail stores.
I read reviews rather extensively on the Internet and took a look at the available YouTube videos.
The comments and complaints were simply dreadful.
YET, my local retailer said that the Maytag Bravos MVWB705YW was the best model out there.
And the model was rated highly by Consumer Reports.
So with great fear and trepidation, we purchased it despite the complaints of various noises, breakdowns, poor cleaning, frequent
unbalanced loads, leaking, premature end of lifespan, electronics failures, discolorations, scum cakings, moldy smells, and on and
on.
It simply amazed me that a major corporation could manufacture such a modern appliance that caused so much agony among its
users.
In the final analysis, most consumers felt that the machine was a waste of money.
When I asked him about all this, my brother-in-law said that buying a new HE machine was a "crap-shoot" today.
You had a 50-50 chance of getting a lemon.
He wished me luck and said to let him know how we made out.
So TODAY, the new Maytag Bravos MVWB750YW was delivered and installed; and it underwent its "maiden voyage."
The first load consisted of towels.
This became unbalanced, and the instruction manual said to let the machine run a "balancing" program.
Well, it never stopped.
So I powered the machine down, which emptied the tub.
Then I restarted the machine on a RINSE/DRAIN/SPIN cycle.
This worked fine, and the clothes eventually came out of the dryer with a clean look and fresh smell.
The second load consisted of colored clothes; the third load consisted of whites.
Both loads ran without incident and the outcome was fine for both.
The tub of the machine is very spacious.
The machine did not make much noise when it washed.
It used a half-capful of HE detergent per load.
We did not use fabric softener because people complained that it left scum in the tub.
So we added fabric softener sheets to the dryer.
After every 30 loads, you must use Affresh tablets on a special clean cycle to eliminate mold, bacteria, and scum.
The retailer told me that the machine should last 7 to 10 years under normal use.
However, if you have a big family and use the machine several times each day, the lifespan could be cut short.

4. I could tell when I looked at the construction of the machine that it wasn't as robust as the outgoing machine.
YET, OVERALL, I am quite pleased so far.
We'll see how it goes.
The best video on YouTube was the one that explained how HE toploaders work.
Please remember to read and follow all the directions for the HE machine; this will give you the best opportunity for success!
