Maytag Performance MHWE300VW

The Maytag Performance MHWE300VW is a 4.0 Cu.Ft. front loading washer featuring commercial-grade components and a smooth balance suspension system for quiet, durable performance.  The washer has a built-in 1000-watt water heater along with 9 wash cycles, 3 options, 4 water temperature settings, and 3 soil level settings for custom washing.  It also includes an NSF certified sanitization cycle that raises the water temperature to eliminate 99.9% of bacteria as well as a clean washer cycle with Affresh.  The Performance MHWE300VW has a convenient 3-tray dispenser drawer with timed release settings for detergent, bleach, and fabric softener and an 8-hour delay start option.  It also includes additional features such as an intelligent temperature control and water level sensor and a MaxExtract spin option.  The washer is available in a white or crimson finish, is Energy Star Qualified and comes with a 1 year warranty.  Compared to Maytag's MHWE500VW, the Performance MHWE300VW is lacking the SteamClean option and steam sanitization cycles that come with the MHWE500VW.
