The Maytag MHW5630HW has a stellar warranty and is one of only a handful of washers that cleans with steam for less than $1,000, making it one of the best front load washers out there. The Steam for Stains wash option can be added to select cycles, and will be a great tool for removing tough stains.
The Maytag MHW5630HW runs a cleaning cycle every 30 washes. Simply add an affresh washer cleaner tablet and sit back. How thoughtful. There’s also a late add feature, perfect for adding in a last-minute item mid-wash.
Maytag MHW5630HW review: Features
Maytag has crammed the MHW5630HW full of extra features, including a 12-hour fresh spin option to keep just-washed clothes wrinkle-free and fresh when you’re not able to take them out immediately. There’s also a 15 minute quick wash cycle for lightly soiled loads. There’s also an extra power button for tackling stains with a dual-temperature use, utilising the internal heater to make the most of your detergent.
In total, there’s ten wash and rinse cycles including wrinkle control, heavy duty and even an option for towels. The Maytag MHW5630HW also features a steam setting which is great for stains, penetrating deep into fibers. It’s rare to get a steam washer for under $1000, making the Maytag MHW5630HW a well-priced front-load washer. If ten cycles isn’t enough, the Maytag MHW5630HW memorizes the settings of your last wash and gives you the chance to run this again, perfect for custom settings when you’ve got a specific need.
