An Epic To Last
That clever Maytag Man--he thinks of everything. Not only does he want your washing machine innards to last forever, he also wants the visible parts of your high-efficiency front-load washer and all your clothes to stay just as pristine as the day you bought them. That's why the Maytag Epic MFW9600SQ front-loading washer includes a tilted stainless steel wash basket. Chip and scratch resistant, the wash basket is constructed of super tough stainless steel that remains smooth, protecting fabrics from snagging or pilling. The durable painted steel top resists scratches from pocket change, buttons, and keys, so your washer looks newer longer. And galvanized, zinc-coated steel panels prevent ugly rust and and corrosion from creeping up the sides of the washer.
Control Your Destiny . . . Or At Least Your Washing Machine
The control panel on the MFW9600SQ is made so anyone can use it--unless you want to lock someone out (like a child). Then you can use the Control Lockout, a child safety door latch and locked controls to keep little hands from running the washer. Wonder what Dr. Spock would think of that? The Estimated Time Remaining display will tell you how much time is left in your wash cycle. The end-of-cycle signal is adjustable, so you can choose what volume you want it set to, or you can turn it off completely. The self-cleaning four-tray dispenser drawer lets you measure your detergent, bleach, and fabric softener to exact amounts. Flexible electronic controls make it easy to use the washer, and easy to change your mind about which cycle you want to use.
Wash More In Every Load
Who has time to wash clothes these days? By time you're down to your last pair of unmentionables, you've got a stack to the ceiling of dirty laundry. It's just easier to go buy more clothes than to wash the ones you have. Until you get the MFW9600SQ. With SuperSize Capacity plus, you can wash more in every load than you would in a conventional top-load washer--even king-sized bedding! With IntelliFill Automatic Water Level sensing, the machine uses built-in sensors to regulate the amount of water used, automatically matching the size of the load. This minimizes the amount of water used, saving water and money. The sensors also know what speed to use for each load. With the Sensi-Care Wash System, the wash basket moves at a faster rotation when washing the largest loads to assure continuous laundry rollover for maximum cleaning effectiveness. For smaller, more delicate loads, the wash basket gently rocks. But don't worry that your giant loads of laundry will set the machine to walking across the floor like your old top-load model might. The Smooth Balance Suspension System has four gap dampers and two additional springs which work as shock abosorbers, reducing vibration and noise, and keeping the load balanced.
A Cycling Champ
No matter what kind of clothes you have, the MFW9600SQ can handle them with ease. That's probably because it offers nine types of cycles, not to mention drain/spin, rinse/spin, and soak. The sanitary cycle will kill 99.999% of three common infectious bacteria, even without bleach. Whitest whites is just the step below sanitary and comes with an additional rinse. Heavy duty works for your standard serious soils. Normal/Casual is for, strangely enough, normally soiled cottons and linens. Rapid wash washes small loads of lightly soiled garments that you need in a hurry. Don't be afraid to wash your delicates in their very own dedicated cycle. Silk and wool also get their own cycles. Handwash lets you clean hand washable and special-care garments in your machine. Soak lets you remove small spots of set-in stains. Each cycle comes with its own set of temperature and spin speed instructions to most efficiently wash your laundry without damaging your favorite items.
It's What's On The Inside That Counts
It's great to have a pretty washing machine, but beauty is only skin deep. The true beauty of the MFW9600SQ lies with its outstanding ability to perform amazing feats of laundry. It starts with a built-in-heater. Thermal optimization gradually heats the water throughout the cycle, and the IntelliTemp Automatic Temperature Control monitors incoming water for the correct temperature. The washer fills only after the optimal temperature has been reached. From there, the Time Release Shower System takes over, evenly distributing laundry detergent on the load by channeling water through the dispenser and spraying detergent from the top as the load is tumbled. As your clothes are washed and rinsed, the variable speed motor prepares to do its job. Operating at a speed up to 1000 RPM, the spin cycle can extract more water from clothes than a conventional model, leaving them nearly dry by the time you put them in the dryer. Of course, the spin speed depends on the cycle as well. Delicate items will be delicately spun. All of these intelligent sensors and automatic systems lead to one great aspect of the washer--it's ENERGY STAR Qualified. The high-efficiency washer uses 65% less water and 46% less energy than an average conventional top-load washer. (Based on 10 cycles per week and cycle adjustment per basket sizes).
A Strong Foundation
All of the wonderful features of the MFW9600SQ are set on top of a strong foundation. The solid steel baseframe provides added support to all key components, even while washing heavy loads. The durable, heavy-duty, die-cast door hinge provides structural strength for years of dependability. The QuietSeries 300 Sound Package features additional sound dampening for increased quietness. And, should any tragedy ever befall your washing machine, it is serviceable through the front. Some people prefer to put their front-loading machines on a pedestal (literally and figuratively). A 15.5" Pedestal Drawer (sold separately) eases loading and unloading by elevating the washer and providing 2.8 cu. ft. of storage space for laundry essentials.
