Advantages: Powerful Suction Disadvantages: A bit on the heavy side
everything in its way. That was 2 years and some 5 months ago and I haven?t looked back since.
The Maytag can be used at 3 carpet levels, I have found if I keep it on the lowest carpet pile setting it cleans both tiled floor and carpets without the need to continually change the setting. I use the cleaning tool setting when I am doing the patio door frames, window frames, tops of the curtains and poles. The Maytag comes with the following tools included:-
Dusting Brush
Furniture Nozzle
Crevice Wand
Extension Wand
All are very easy to attach and detach and can be washed in warm water with a mild detergent, rinsed in clean water and air dried.
The clear Dust Collector, Maytag call it a Dirt Cup. Consists of:-

Dirt Inlet Opening
Emptying is very easy by lifting the cup, pulling ...

I bought this machine a year ago because of the Maytag reputation and the economy of the machine (which is one of the most economical on the market).
The Maytag brand is very big in the USA where I would say they are the equivalent of the Meile brand over there.
As expected, the machine has lived up to its billing as a king among washing machines- its bomb proof- very heavy and welll designed as its fully clad in stainless steal. The wash results are superb and does wonders on the 30 degree cycle too.
Its fully controllable- you can use the factory presets or create your own wash cycles. I would suggest the eco mode every time.
Downsides are that it is expensive- over £1000 but you get what you pay for- you get the impression that the machine will go on for years! ...

Advantages: Quiet, large inside, easy to clean Disadvantages: Intermittant fault that doesn't seem to be fixable, expensive
I have had the Maytag for nearly two years now. I bought it to match with new appliances in my refitted kitchen.
The machine holds a lot, more than our previous model. It was so quiet that when we first used it we didn't think it was working!
It is easy to use, with lots of programmes. It has a low salt and low rinse aid indicator.
It has an economy programme as well as all the usual programmes that you would expect for a top of the range dishwasher.
About a year ago it suddenly started tripping the electric off and we needed to get an engineer. I bought the machine on line and I looked up Maytag and phoned them, they then arranged for a firm of engineers to send someone round. The engineer arrived, tried the dishwasher but it was fine, so said he couldn't do anything but let Maytag know if it happened again. He noticed ...
