Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Couldn't be happier!

I actually enjoy doing laundry now! 6/26/2016

We finally broke down after 14 years with our last set, (a mid-grade whirlpool set that was great), and decided to shop the holiday sales for a new set. I had done TONS of research and asked TONS of ppl for opinions. We were on a budget and I'd almost resigned myself to getting a brand I wasn't 100% in love with because of the price. Our last stop was RC Willey and the sales rep listened to my wish list and concerns and told me they were clearing out this model to bring in next years. It had everything I "had" to have and a few bells and whistles I'd resigned myself to going without... All within my price range. I could not be happier!!! Extra quiet, efficient and lived completely up to the hype, I feel incredibly spoiled by my new Maytag set... (And my husband who helped me pick them )

Great Washer

5/28/2016

Love our washer. The first washer that was delivered made a nocking noise so a technician came over to checked it out and could not fix the problem so they replaced it. The new one did the same so they said we could pick out another set., After they left I leveled the washer myself front to back and left to right it was off at least an inch. WOW imagine that no more noise. The first washer they installed was probably just fine! You would think there installers would know better. Every thing is great now!! So we decided to keep them. Always level your washer

Not Satisfied

Willing To Give Maytag Another Shot. 2/5/2016

We bought this model on 12/12/15. It was delivered on 12/19/15. Shortly after use, we found it would slowly spin dry a "small" 2'x4' quilted baby's bed blanket. It was literally "dripping wet" when the cycle was complete. Later we found the same situation on bedding, and washing a pillow. We called service. They came out, diagnosed it stating "something" read "not right". After ordering the part and returning to replace it, the next load experienced the same condition - "dripping wet" after the cycle was completed. We've contacted the original place of purchase who is beginning the process to talk with Maytag. Whether it is "by design" or a "product" defect, we do not want occasional "dripping wet" loads for the next 20 years. We're planning on giving the "next model up (7100)" Maytag washer a chance. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a better experience.

Very good washer, knobs are sentive as if you bump washer sings to you. Does an excellent jobof washing, only thing if you need to run an extra spin cycle cannot do without having to run through a whole cycle. Otherwise great job.

Love this washer. Easy enough for my teenagers to use. Good to have a fresh washed load when I get home from work so it doesn't sit all day and I don't have to wait for it to wash when I get home. Cleans delicates nicely and even my mechanic's greasy "don't mix with other laundry" clothes nicely.

Purchased this unit 3 weeks ago and wouldn't change a thing! Quiet, efficent, and my clothes smell amazing. I had no idea that laundry could be exciting...yes I said exciting! Sheets, blankets, curtains, I am literally creating things to wash and dry because everything comes out looking and smelling like new. And I love that it's made in the USA! Thanks Maytag

I bought this front loader to replace my 12 year old front loader. It uses less water than my old one. I love the time delay start for mid week loads to save on electricity cost (can load and have it start in off peak time). This washer has xlg capacity. Can't wait to try the steam feature.

Very quiet, clothes come out clean and it looks nice. Love the steam feature, never thought I would need it, but now that I have it, I love it! The only thing I don't like, is that the control panel is extremely sensitive, so you brush up against it and turn it on/off when you don't want to. More of an annoyance, I can live with it as it doesn't affect how well the machine works.
