Magnum Powers or Maytag?
The contenders:


PRO's:
MP: Blows hard for cheap
MT: My wife will continue to blow hard and cheap
MP: Great price for a kick-butt blower
MT: Great price for a washer my grandkids will be using 60 years from now
CON's
MP: Not a Whipple
MT: Not a Magnum Powers
MP: Extra $$$ required to get the C/L plenum and throttle body, if your going to do it, do it right
MT: Extra $$$ required to buy the #$!@ dryer, cause you can't have one without the other
Any more?

I got roped with the maytag deal last christmas for my wife. The dryer is great. The washer is a POS.
Before you spend your money on a Maytag washer be aware that there is a huge class action suit against them on the neptune models.
Ours has developed a stench that will not go away. Service has been out to fix it twice. There suggestion.... wipe it down with bleach after every use. WTF.... Off the record the service man even admitted his own personal machine has the same problem.
Search google for maytag and mildew. Youll get the picture.
Sorry for my off topic rant...... GET THE BLOWER and a cheap regular old washer for your wife.

Buy the washer... The class-action suit is on the Neptune front-loaders only. I got the exact model, including the matching dryer. With the new agitator system, this one is super quiet. The missus loves it...
Hell, buy the MP too... Not too quiet, though... Different kind of "agitator", LOL!!!

MayTag sucks. Just get a Kenmore from Sears. I've had my washer and dryer 8 years with no problems. My sister in law saw the maytag commercials and bought into the maytag hype. She is on her 2nd washer and third dryer in 7 years...
I bought a maytag double oven last month with a ceramic stove top. In less than 1 week the computer went bad. The maytag man took 3 days to show up and fix it. Two days later the oven stopped working. I took it back and bought a Kenmore...
Good thing maytag isn't a tuner or this could start a war.

Sorry you've had bad luck. If you need parts, let me know. I can get them at my cost.
M.O.P. Now, back to Lightings. Why not get a KB?

The secret to all of this is to get just as excited about W/D's as you are about L's...
