MTW5605RW0 not smart, bad design, but WOKE for the green crowd
I bought a Maytag washer with the pet hair cleaning system. Sounded good as I have 3 GSDs. They problem is it does not, under any water level settings, add enough water. After putting a small amount in the tub it starts agitating while adding water. This is supposed to be the soak cycle but less that 1/2 of the clothes ar wet during this. Eventually it start adding more. When it goes to the wash cycle, same issue, not enough water. After agitating for 5 minutes the clothes on top are still on top and are not wet. At the end of the wash cycle they are wet but still on top. Rinse is the same problem. My clothes are not getting clean and the soap is not being rinsed out even with the extra rinse.
The problem seems to be some pin head decided how much water I load needs. Even on MAX fill, not enough. Since when does some engineer type tell me what I NEED? The auto, med, high and max setting are the same not enough water. I spent close to $900 for a washer I need to babysit with a hose from the faucet to add enough water. And seeing that this "smart" machine is so slow to do anything, I'm required to monitor so I can add the water when it starts a new cycle. Like I have nothing better to do with my life than to babysit it due to a poor design. " - This site won't allow me to post the pics.
Close to $900 for a washer and I need a water hose to fill it adequately.
I like the dog hair filter and it spins the clothes very dry. It is quiet but takes FOREVER to do a load and then there are issues with the cleanliness and residual soap both from inadequate water level.
Recommendation: Don't buy a Maytag
