Maytag MHW5630HW vs. Maytag MVWP575GW

Posted on May 5th, 2021

Maytag has been at the forefront of the washing machine since it was founded in 1893. As one of the original brands to enter the commercial laundry field in the 1950s with self-service laundries and commercial operators, Maytag has become synonymous with commercial-grade washers and dryers. Today the brand manufactures residential laundry appliances inspired by commercial laundry features. With so many options available, it can be difficult to choose which washer and dryer are right for you. Here we compare two popular washer models: the front load MHW5630HW with modern features, and the top load MVWP575GW with commercial-grade features.

The Maytag MHW5630HW
This front load washer is perfect for any modern home. Featuring a robust front door and smooth angles, the Maytag MHW5630HW is as beautiful as it is convenient. It features a large Extra Power button in the middle of the dial for when you need an extra boost. This feature boosts stain-fighting performance on any wash cycle (hot or cold) by pre-mixing the laundry detergent with hot water. The Maytag MHW5630HW also features a Heavy Duty cycle to provide the most powerful cleaning compared to similar washers in its field. When loads can't be moved to the dryer right away, the 12 Hr Fresh Spin™ Option keeps your clothes fresh with additional tumbling to prevent mildew and wrinkles. Other features include a Quick Wash cycle that cleans small, lightly soiled loads in 14 minutes, and an internal heater to give detergent a powerful boost against stubborn stains. This robust washer features 4.5 cubic feet to help you tackle extra large loads and even has the option for steam to penetrate deep into fibers for potent cleaning action. You will find the Maytag MHW5630HW in the mid price-range of under $1000 (and at the lowest price available at Bray & Scarff!).

The Maytag MVWP575GW
Quite different from the above washer, the MVWP575GW is a top-load, commercial-grade washer. This washer may not be as exciting-looking as its front-load counterpart, but it is built to last much longer. It is considered “commercial-grade” because it is engineered from extra durable parts, including a ½ horsepower motor, ultra-sturdy knobs, and galvanized steel panels that are truly built to last. It also features a dual-action agitator to optimize wash action for fast rollover. The result is robust cleaning in short cycle times. Get the maximum water level needed for a deep water wash clean with the Delicates, Bulky/Towel, Mixed, or PowerWash® cycle. Other features include Spin Fill to ensure your loads get completely drenched, and commercial-grade water fill hoses. The Maytag MVWP575GW does have a smaller capacity of only 3.5 cubic feet so it may not be ideal for very large families but is still a great option for a family of 4 who is looking for a washer that lasts. You will find the Maytag MVWP575GW similarly priced as the Maytag MHW5630HW, coming in under $1000 (and again, at the lowest price available at Bray & Scarff!).
