Maytag Neptune™ MAH5500B Front Load Washer

Review: This is our 3rd washing machine in 10 years and it has held up the best. It holds just as much as our extra capacity Kenmore which had a motor blow-out at 2 years old which was not covered in the warranty. Everything is noticibly cleaner in the...

Review: Terrible Quality - Basis of Class Action suit for Maytag due to numerous serious quality control issues...Had three major repairs in less than 3 years of service...still malfunctions...ready to sell & buy LG ....

The Bottom Line: Jury still out. Hope I can fix it for a reasonable cost & that it stays fixed. All the problems described on the internet do not provide much hope.

Review: I have a MAH5500BWW with the same extractor spin problem other users have mentioned. There is at least 3 class action lawsuits involving these machines.
My washer is about 3 years and as of 2 days ago it will not spin up to speed.
I opened...

The Bottom Line: After going front-loading I'll never go back. Huge capacity, great savings on energy and water bills, and even detergent costs, plus clean clothes.

Review: I am giving a background to my purchase of the MAYTAG NEPTUNE because I want to illustrate the differences between our washer experiences.

While waiting for our house to be completed we moved from a large rental into a much smaller duplex...

The Bottom Line: Never buy Maytag. The company is now putting out bad products and treating their customers like garbage.

Review: Although my machine is not an MAH5500B, I'm posting it in this section to warn you all not to purchase a new Maytag based on my experience with the company and their product. I am furious with Maytag! I bought my MAH3000 Neptune in 1999 expecting a...

The Bottom Line: Will definitely do more homework before purchasing another Maytag washer.

Review: We purchased a new Maytag Neptune MAH5500B almost four years ago. With a price tag of $1049, and the Maytag reputation for quality, we thought we would be set for the next 15-20 years. We were pretty happy with the machine, it had a large capacity,...

The Bottom Line: The durability of the washer has been a big let down. Even though I was reimbursed $30 the service is lacking. For the price, one would expect better.

Review: I purchased a Maytag Neptune from Lowes on 4-07-01 for 999.00. This was a super-duper machine that could outperform any non-commercial washer on the market, plus it looked neato also and would save me on water and electric. I was so excited and...

The Bottom Line: So far, the Maytag Neptune seems to live up to its hype. An update may be called for in about 6 months.

Review: Updated

It was an inauspicious beginning to the New Year. My old reliable washing machine quit in mid rinse cycle, leaving me high and dry (and my clothes soggy wet). The obvious solution, of course, was to call a repair service and have...

Review: Purchased the "top of the line" when I spent $1000 for a Maytag front loader. After only a year I had problems with a very smelly mold growing around the door seal. Now after only 2 years, the motor and control board burned up. It is not under...

Review: After reading several other reviews,and correlating with personal experience, it is obvious that Maytag has forgotten about quality control. It appears that Maytag can no longer make a competitive product. My first Maytag washer was going strong at...
