Maytag Neptune™ MAH5500B Front Load Washer

Pros: Holds a lot of clothes; many settings
Cons: can not over-stuff

I came to epinions looking to research front loading washers and dryers. I knew I wanted a front load b/c I'm extremely short and using normal washer and dryers just didn't work well.
I am so glad I came and researched the many washers and dryers....

Pros: Easy on water, energy, and soap. $20.00 bucket cleaned clothes for 7 months
Cons: washcloths and socks always slip into the rubber gasket, then I have to rewash

Pros: less water, less energy, very quiet. elegant looking. All electronic dial face.
Cons: If you forget something your SOL until next load once it starts washing

Well after seeing all the videos and T.V shows about the Neptune washer, I dove in and paid the big bucks. I figured I would like to try and make my wife's day a little easier and a little more pleasant while doing laundry if thats possible. Well ...

Pros: Energy efficient and gets cloths very clean.
Cons: Too expensive

I had decided to buy a front load washer instead of the top loading washer because of energy efficiency. With the high cost of electricity, energy efficiency was very impotant to me. Front load washers also uses less water than top load and less...

Pros: Energy efficient, quiet, easy to use!
Cons: None

We have owned our Maytag Neptune Washer for a little over a year now. With a hefty price tag of $1499 it wasn't an easy decision to go through with the actual purchase. Who in their right mind would spend $1499 on a washing machine? Weellll, I ...

Pros: Energy savings and water usage, PLUS superior cleaning
Cons: What's not to like? Maybe the price?

This machine was purchased in April of 2002. Doesn't matter where you buy it, since everyone sells them for $999. Look for savings on delivery (should be free), and taking away your old appliance.

Why choose this particular machine?
...

Pros: Quiet and efficient!
Cons: Price

This machine is efficient in detergent use, water usage, and electricity. Not to mention quiet...very quiet. When we first heard the washer running we wondered how it could possibly be cleaning our laundry - it does, and very good! HE detergent is...

Pros: High Capacity - Energy Efficient
Cons: Too Quiet?

I never thought I'd ever consider doing laundry fun, in fact fifteen years ago or so I'd have thought someone who did think so really needed to get out of the house more. But since my new Maytag Neptune washer and dryer arrived in my home, I can...

Pros: Saving water; works well; quiet; great frills
Cons: Expensive

We bought our first house not all that long ago, and so for the first time we had to face buying things like a washer & dryer. We've tried (where we have the budget) to buy things for the new house that will last. This means that sometimes we buy the...

Pros: $$ saving, easy to understand, quick, and does the job great!
Cons: Pricey, would like the washer to be a little larger

Update:
Boy, as a person that is new to giving reviews, I am finding epinions very tough to swallow. I am not a professional spec writer, I am an average person, who is just typing off the top of my head my experiences. The things that are...

Pros: Clean clothes, trouble-free. Actually fun to use.
Cons: Expensive

When we sold our house we left all of the appliances, so we had to buy new ones when we moved into our new house. My husband saw the Maytag Neptune Washer and Dryer and had to have them. I thought he was nuts given the price. I also feared that with...

Pros: Quiet, simple to use, efficient, cleaner clothes
Cons: none

After reading the many reviews for this particular model, I wasn't going to write anything simp ...

Pros: Quiet, gental, clean clothes, and clean clothes. :-)
Cons: none.

We went shopping for a new washer and dryer to retire our old "Hand-me-down" Kenmore product.. It was a good machine, but washer was starting to act up, and we had to put it to rest before we end up spending alot of money for parts, and mainly WATER usag ...

Pros: Dependable, uses less water and less energy, gentle, takes large loads
Cons: Near top of the line is expensive

IN THE BEGINNING: I found my self in the interesting position of being required to replace my washer, stove and refrigerator all at the same time. (You might check out my other reviews of the refrigerator and stove). So, I bit the bullet ...

Pros: QUIET! easy to use, saves on the amount of water used.
Cons: Becomes easily unbalanced, lengthy cycle times

The reason I call this a "1 load a day washer" is the amount of time consumed to wash a load of clothes. Also, the main reason I bought this machine is because I thought it was cool and innovative.

The machine itself is easier to use than a...
