Maytag Neptuneâ„¢ MAH6500A Front Load Washer

Pros: A wonderful well oiled machine!
Cons: none!

Ok, so you think that there are two types of washing machines right? The top load and the front load. Well in my opinion these are not the two types. The two types of washing machines are the one that does work and the one that does not work! This ...

Pros: Efficiency, convenience, ease of use, attractiveness
Cons: Cost, possible need for extended service contract

The History I had found myself stuck in what seemed like a never-ending laundry cycle when our 12+ year old Whirlpool dryer stopped working. Having invested in several previous repairs, we decided to replace both the dryer and matching top loading ...

Pros: Quiet, cheap to run, water efficient and very clean clothes!
Cons: Buzzer quiet. Machine is wide (pay attention to the space/room the washer will be going).

I'm accustomed to using front loaders (raised in the UK where they are standard) but I was very cautious of buying a front loader in the US due to their relative newness on the market. Plus, I don't know anyone with a front loader so I was left in the ...

Pros: Large loads; Auto dispensing of detergent, bleach, etc; Quiet.
Cons: High failure rate; Expensive repair; General lack of care for customer

If you've researched this machine at all, you will know that it has major defects with the controller cards - both the motor controller and the master controller cards. However, these machines are deeply discounted and some have coupons for years worth ...

Pros: Very large tilted tub, easy-to-use controls.
Cons: Too many problems - doesn't live up to it's name. 6/20/07 - still awful.

UPDATE: I still have this machine, and it is worse now than ever. It has become very noisy and leaves a smell in the clothes if you don't run bleach-water through it at least once a week, and you have to be sure to take the clothes out as soon as it is ...

Pros: Water efficiency, ultra quiet, looks great, well lit interior, cleaning ability
Cons: Absolutely NONE!

OK, despite negative reviews of the Maytag Neptunes, I decided to take the plunge. I initially looked at the Whirlpool Duets, but they were too deep to fit in my laundry "closet". The Neptune was a perfect fit. Additionally, since my piping is ...

Pros: Scrap metal, black mold can be used as a science experiment
Cons: Horrific customer service, nightmare reliability, black mold, circuit board failure, expensive

If your considering a Maytag Neptune front-loading washer, DON'T, STOP, CAUTION, ALERT!!! We purchased a MayTag Neptune washer and have had nothing but TROUBLE. (The problems that I have been having are not an isolated event, they are inherent in ...

Pros: Clothes come out dry. Quiet running. Less water used.
Cons: OK: small pain to make sure the door is opened right after every load.

I was very very anxious about picking this wash machine due to the class action lawsuit. I looked at a number of models and asked a lot of questions. With the class action law suit as my guide I grilled a number of sales people at a 3 different stores, ...

Pros: None.
Cons: Expensive. Has ruined our clothes repeatedly. Extremely high maintenance. Unbelievably bad service.

My wife and I bought a Maytag Neptune washer and dryer because we felt it was a quality product and would be backed by excellent service. WRONG on both counts. Our machine has never worked correctly, and it has ruined hundreds of dollars worth of our ...

Pros: Much less wear on clothes! Jeans... last MUCH longer! Less fading!
Cons: Low washing.../dependability rating. Follow my cleaning suggestions!

The major con I HAD with the Neptune, was that it didn't get the clothes as clean as my old Kenmore with agitator! I finally figured out what the problem was- I took a load of large bathroom rugs to the local laundromat, that also had Maytag front ...

Pros: It will wash your clothes
Cons: Horrible Customer Service, Defective electrical parts will cost hundreds more to repair, Defective moisture seals...

Let me start with this: I have received one correspondence from Maytag a couple of years ago saying that if the seal around the front was moldy, they would repair it. Thankfully, I was one of the very few who didn't have this problem. I tossed the letter ...

Pros: A great example of what a cleaning machine should NOT be!
Cons: Black mold, black mold, black mold, and black mold.

I would HIGHLY advise against purchasing the Maytag Neptune washer! My mom had an old top-loading Maytag for 20 plus years, and then bought a new one that she still uses today. When I bought my first home four years ago, I never shopped around or ...

Pros: Works as it should, quiet and dependable
Cons: In 4 years of use, I still have'nt found any

I purchased this washer four years ago, and it's never had a problem or repair in that time. The only dissappointment I have had is that the price has came down since then, meaning I paid almost $300 more than it costs now. This is my first ...

Pros: NONE
Cons: EVERYTHING

In 2003 my mother bought me the set washer and dryer. WIthin 2 years all the bars that flip clothes in the dryer broke off, I found a place online called repairclinic.com and ordered the parts myself and fixed it no big deal only they don't come with ...

Pros: Efficient front loader, flexible controls, high speed spin, can open door during cycle
Cons: Ripped gasket, mold problems, motor problems, circuit board problems

I've been very happy with this washing machine for the last three months, its quiet, efficient and has lots of high tech functions: the extra delicate handwash setting + the usuals. It has the efficiency of a side loader, but the convenience of a top ...
