Performa by Maytag - A Great Washing Machine!

by neldaintexas , Feb 07 '03
Pros: It has a huge wash tub, a strong motor and many features...and it's quiet, too!
Cons: none
Is the Performa by Maytag a "real" Maytag?...The fact that it isn't was mentioned to me by several appliance salesmen as they tried to talk me into purchasing a different brand. But would Maytag put their good name and reputation on the line if the...

Maytag Performa PAV2300--It's A Maytag and It's Cheap, Isn't That Enough?

by erinrounds Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Mar 30 '02
Pros: Value priced, oversized load capacity, multiple size and water options.
Cons: None for us.
I am one of those rare freaks, the kind that actually like to do laundry. It might even be my favorite household chore. Now, as much as I love doing my laundry, there comes a time when it becomes apparent to the main laundry-doer (me), that the...

Figures I bought the defective one in the store!

by mrssmoopy Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Nov 18 '01
Pros: Large Polymer drum for large loads, washed flawlessly, appealing to the eye!
Cons: Bucked like a bronco & took a full size adult to hold it still!
Along with other Epinionators, I too had a 14 year old Whirlpool washer that went to the big recycling center in the sky. The motor went, and I immediately started my computer and went to Epinions.com to see what other members recommended as far as a...

A washer that fits my family needs.

by Misticke , Oct 07 '01
Pros: Super large capacity, great price.
Cons: NONE
We bought this house just a year and a half ago and with it came the oldest washer and dryer I believe I have ever seen. For a year and a half, I have been kicking myself in the butt for not bringing along MY brand new washer and dryer. I sold my home...

Not what I thought it would be

by asaucy23 , Feb 18 '03
Pros: Large tub size
Cons: Broke down already
When my family and I moved a little over 2 years ago, the house we moved into did not have a washer and dryer. Not knowing too much about appliances, I basically decided on the Maytag brand because my mother-in-law has had one forever and swears by it....

Simply Great

by melleg , Feb 11 '01
Pros: Huge capacity, simple operation, decent price for the brand one gets
Cons: Not as energy efficient as other Maytag models
In the market for a new washer? Don't overlook the Maytag PAV2300 as an option just because of its low price tag.

Our 11 year old White-Westinghouse was done. The stabilizing brackets had given way so the darn thing would shake wildly and...

I can't really complain

by brenda5008 , Jan 23 '01
Pros: Attractive,Lots of settings,extra large capacity.
Cons: The price,and mine has made my faith in it alter a couple of times.
When me and my husband and son moved into our very own place for the first time in July of 1999,my grandmother asked me to let her buy me a washer.
Well,how could I say no to such a generous gift? Washers are expensive and I really did need one (I...

The pilgrims came in on the Maytag, right?

by Igus , Dec 24 '02
Pros: Maytag quality, good capacity, simple to use.
Cons: Possibly the plastic tub- we shall see
As I become settled into older age, I appreciate how inflexible I've become. I tend to be less adventurous, more investigative, and less likely to be swayed by the newest and coolest on the market.

Replacing my 20 year-old Maytag with a new...

by mkecollins , Mar 12 '03
Pros: Quiet, solid, washes well
Cons: poor reliability
Well, after 3 washers in 30 years, which I think is pretty good, I decided to get a Maytag, owing to their reputation for high quality and reliability. Well, I bought a Performa three years ago, and while I believe the quality is good, the reliability...

This Machine Not For Use In A Laundry Room On The Second Floor!

by TShire , Jan 26 '02
Pros: Price, large load capacity, not a lot of extra bells & whistles you don't need.
Cons: Spin cycle very unstable.
When my 13 year old GE washer finally stopped working I headed straight to Lowes to replace it. There was so much to choose from! I decided on a Maytag largely due to its reputation. The price was acceptable - mid 400's & I was thrilled to be told...

Works Great, for a little while.....

by mr_3putt , Dec 09 '04
Pros: Uh, nice knobs?
Cons: Maytag Customer Service it terrible. They lost me as a customer forever.
Ok, So I'm not the head laundry honcho in the house, but for household purchases and acquisitions, I'm the man. When it came time to replace our 14 year old Whirlpool, I borrowed a pickup and headed to Loews. At that point, I didn't ask, nor care why ...

A solid washer.

by vogner , Jul 10 '02
Pros: Large capacity. Stable. Reasonable price.
Cons: A little loud when filling.
I have had this washer for over 6 months and have had no problems (knock on wood). It does what I bought it to do and it does it well. My clothes are clean. The tub is "oversized" which in a family of 5 is important. That translates into fewer...

So far so good, but not great.

by eyager , Oct 30 '04
Pros: Durable (maybe), Quiet, extra rinse feature.
Cons: You have to select the speed manually. No overflow protection, no unbalanced load buzzer.
After a couple of years doing laundry for a household of 3 years this machine hasn't broke down yet. According to a couple of repair men we asked this washer is more durable than newer maytag washers and all kenmore and GE products due to more parts ...

by bnic , Oct 03 '00
Pros: large barrel,bleach and fabric softner dispensers,noise reduction,cleans well
Cons: high price tag
I received this washer as a baby gift from my parents. I was expecting baby #4 and they had run out of gift ideas, and fate had it that my washer was ready for the scrap pile.

The first noticeable feature of the Maytag Performa is how great...
