| Washer Pros and Cons | ||
| Cleaning | Cleans with a high-efficiency (HE) wash system, but does not employ an internal heater. HE wash systems use gentle wash motions that are easier on your clothing, require less water, and have more internal space without a central agitator. | |
| Spin | Maximum washer spin rate is 7% higher than average. Higher spin RPM wrings more water out of clothing, shortens dryer time, and saves on overall washer-dryer energy use. Ranks in the top 45% of new clothes washers for BETTER moisture removal. | ✔ |
| Energy | Energy Factor is 27% lower than average. Clothes washers with lower Energy Factors are less efficient and will cost more to operate because they use more energy. Ranks in the lower 10% of new washers for FAIR energy efficiency. | |
| Water | The MHWC7500YW Water Factor is 51% higher than the average new washer. Higher Water Factors indicate the washer is less efficient and will use more water to operate. Ranks in the lower 10% of new washers for POOR water efficiency. | |
| Cycles | Cycles and options are about average for a new washing machine. The more flexibility you have with program selection, the better the chance of meeting your family's unique clothing care needs. Helps with diverse fabrics and children. | |
| Price | Price per cubic foot is 60% higher than average. Based on the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP), each cubic foot costs about $149 more than the average new washer. Ranks in the lower 5% of new washers for POOR price efficiency. | |

Maytag MHWC7500YW |
| Performance Ratings | ||
| Steam | No Steam Cleaning - Does not have the capability to produce high-temperature steam. Steam can gently penetrate fabrics and is very effective on soil removal. Steam cycles are now available on about 50% of newly manufactured washers. | |
| Sanitize | No Sanitize Cycle - Does not have the option to sanitize clothing by raising water temperatures to high levels that kill many types of bacteria. Bleach or OxiClean may be a partial alternative depending on your chemical sensitivity. | |
| Allergen | No Allergen Certification - The MHWC7500YW is not certified by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) or the Asthma & Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) to reduce allergens such as dust mite and dander with high temperature water. | |
| Temp Control |
Auto Temp Control - Automatically regulates the hot and cold water supply to ensure that the wash water is at the proper temperature for the cycle selected. On cold winter days the hot water runs longer or more often to compensate. | ✔ |
| Heater | No Internal Water Heater - Water temperatures cannot be increased beyond your home's hot water tank supply. Internal heaters are necessary for steam cleaning capability and are the preferred method to sanitize clothes with high temp water. | |
| Water Level |
Automatic Water Level - Designed with sensors that detect the load size and then adjust the water level to achieve the best cleaning and rinsing performance. Convenient feature that eliminates guessing and saves water costs. | ✔ |
| Drum | Stainless Steel Wash Drum - Stainless steel is a durable wash basket material that resists corrosion, stains, and chipping. It is superior to porcelain or plastic. Over 90% of new washers produced today have stainless steel drums. | ✔ |
| Vibration | Standard Vibration Control - The Maytag MHWC7500YW is designed with a standard spring suspension to help reduce vibrations. Effectiveness of this system compared to other washers with advanced anti-vibration is unknown. | |
| Wash Type |
Drum w Paddles - Front load washer with a rotating drum and paddles that lift and drop clothes. Very effective washing mechanism compared to the older agitating machines. Gentle on clothing and uses significantly less water. | ✔ |
| MSRP | $799 - Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is 25% lower than average. You should save about $266 compared to the average-priced washer. Ranks in the top 15% of new washers for BEST overall price. Also check the cost per cubic foot. | ✔ |
| Motor | 10 Year Warranty - Maytag currently has one of the best drive motor warranties available with 10 years parts and one-year labor. The washer drive motor is one of the more expensive components to replace. Manufacturer warranties are subject to change. | ✔ |
| Convenience Ratings | ||
| Capacity | 2 cu ft - Interior capacity is 49% lower than average. Smaller washers generally cost less up-front, but if you want to do your laundry less often, a larger washer saves time and money. Ranks in the lower 1% of new washers for SMALLEST load size. | |
| Periodic Tumble |
No Periodic Tumble - After the wash cycle completes there is no extended tumbling of the clothes. Periodic tumbling, especially with circulating air, keeps the clothes fresh if you are delayed in transferring them to the dryer. | |
| Time | Remaining Time Display - The Maytag MHWC7500YW includes a digital time display at the top of the washer that shows estimated remaining cycle time. Just glance at the display while you're working and plan your time accordingly. | ✔ |
| Delay | Delay Start / End - You can program the wash cycle to start or end several hours later when you wake up or arrive home. Allows you to organize laundry chores around your schedule, or take advantage of lower, off-peak, utility rates. | ✔ |
| Dispenser | Detergent, Softener, Bleach Dispenser - Bleach, fabric softener, and detergent can be preloaded into the Maytag MHWC7500YW dispensing trays and automatically released by the washer at the optimum time in the wash cycle. | ✔ |
| Settings | 5 Temp-Soil-Spin Settings - 3 Temperature, 0 Soil, and 2 Spin settings. Lower than average number of settings for these key items on a new washer. Fewer settings limit your flexibility in caring for a wide range of fabrics, stains, and conditions. | |
| Quick Wash |
Quick Wash - In a hurry? Forget to wash a garment for today's special event? This washing machine has a fast wash cycle that can have your clothing ready in much less time than regular cycles. | ✔ |
| Wash-Dry | No Overnight Wash & Dry - Like most washers, this model does not have the unique capability to both wash and dry your clothes overnight. A few washers can continue to tumble the clothes and circulate drying air after the wash cycle has ended. | |
| Drum Light |
No Drum Light - There is no internal lighting of the wash drum area when loading or unloading clothes. Sometimes shadows or an unlit laundry room can hide a stray sock that remains missing until the next wash cycle. | |
| ADA | ADA Compliant - Complies with Federal American Disabilities Act (ADA) regulations. Controls and operating mechanisms are within 48 in and 15 in defined reach distances, and can be easily operated with one hand. | ✔ |
| Wi-Fi | No Wi-Fi - This washing machine is not Wi-Fi Enabled or Wi-Fi Ready. It cannot be remotely programmed, operated, or diagnosed through a home Wi-Fi Internet connection or Smartphone. It is not Smart Grid or Smart Meter capable. | |
| Detergent Supply |
No Detergent Reservoir - Like most washers, this machine does not have a reservoir that holds a large supply of detergent. A Few brands such as GE, Maytag, and Whirlpool offer new washers with multi-day detergent and fabric softener storage. | |
| Reverse Door |
No Reversible Door - Like most front load clothes washers, the door is fixed and cannot be changed to open from the other side. Only a few brands such as Electrolux and Kenmore offer washers with reversible door capability. | |
| Stackable | Stackable - Front load washers can be stacked vertically with a companion front load dryer. If you have a small laundry area this is a very convenient feature. It also places the dryer at shoulder level for easier loading. | ✔ |
