The Maytag Performa Washer
It is like a reflex when people instantly gravitate towards brands like GE and Whirlpool when purchasing washing machines. That leaves equally good brands like Maytag with not enough attention and admiration as they deserve.
The Maytag Performa Washer, for instance, is a relatively affordable machine that has better features than most other brands’ washers, but because people are not entirely aware of its capabilities, they base their decisions on the recommendations of salesmen who generally push other brands.
As a solution to this, below is a list of pros and cons of the Maytag Performa Washer for the benefit of those who are open to brand exploration.
Thumbs Up Qualities:
Affordable for a normal-sized washer
Washes quietly when loaded with appropriate amount of clothes
Big tub – delivers its promise of a big load capacity
Does not leave lint on clothes and washes them properly – can get stains out
Has detergent and fabric softener dispenser
Heavy-duty with ¾ horsepower motor
Has good features like extra rinse option, four water levels, combinations of spin cycles and rinses temperatures and speeds
Safety measures include self-steadying and self-shut off when encountering plugging or motor problems
Does not use too much water or electricity – great value for the price plus utility bill savings
Thumbs Down Qualities:
Emits loud noise when washing large loads
Some featured cycles may stop working or not deliver their promised results, i.e. permanent press still leaves clothes wrinkled
Lifespan is unsure – could break down any time from 6 months into using it or 5 years
Maytag has been churning out quality washing machines and other appliances for over 100 years. Because of the dominant brand bias, a consumer may not even know that a Maytag Performa Washer is exactly what he needs.
Hopefully, with the information stated above, the prospective buyer could now make an informed decision.
