Why Maytag earned a C
About Maytag
That 'dependable' reputation is decades in the making - Maytag has been a mainstream American major-appliance brand for generations, now owned by Whirlpool, known for washers, dryers, and dishwashers built for durability over flashy features. It's a legacy manufacturer, not a boutique brand, so you're buying into a long service and parts history rather than a trendy design story. Homeowners replacing a broken workhorse appliance rather than upgrading for looks are the typical buyer. Just know the return window is short for something this expensive - 15 days before a real restocking fee applies is tighter than a lot of shoppers expect for a $900 washer.
What they sell
- Washers and dryers
- Refrigerators and dishwashers
