Maytag Neptune MAH5500B

Date Published: 7/23/08

Maytag's line of Neptune washers leads the way in upgrades, as American-made washing machines become increasingly efficient and technologically advanced. This washer, the MAH500B, like the other washers in the Neptune line, is a front-load design without an agitator.

The result is less wear and tear on clothing and improved cleaning and stain removal. This machine also offers remarkable energy and water savings and meets or exceeds the recent federal Energy Star's guidelines for efficiency.

The Neptune boasts an automatic detergent dispenser and a bleach dispenser, ensuring that these additives enter the cycle at the optimum time. It has a large tub that can handle the cleaning of bulky items such as bedspreads and rugs. The tremendous variety of cycles ensures that this unit can handle almost any job.

The durable stainless-steel washtub will last a lifetime and will cut down on pilling the surfaces of garments. The controls are of the LED touchpad style and are easy to operate.

If you don't mind the price, Maytag also offers a similar Neptune unit with touch screen controls. This washer is available in a bisque or white finish.

Of the many features included in the Maytag Neptune MAH5500B is an automatic water level selector, which saves energy by matching the amount of water to the load size. Additional workhorse features include an infinite-speed motor and infinite-speed combinations.
