Maytag Centennial Laundry Pair - Design Features:

If you're not sold on a front-load laundry team, you may want to take a look at Maytag's latest Centennial top-load pair. Rather than a high focus on low energy preset functions, this super capacity washer and dryer builds on the familiar top-load platform, but boasts some pretty impressive durability features, along with loads of settings that the consumer can select at will. The washer even has a viewing window if you want to monitor what's happening to your wash. The Centennial dryer is available in electric (MEDC700V) or gas (MGDC700V) models and if you don't like white appliances, they also come in Oxide.

Centennial Top-Load Washer Model MVWC700VW:

With a massive 18 cycles, 4 temperature settings, multi water levels including extra small, (that's more than its predecessor MVWC500VW), you can't get bored with this washer and can customize each load to your heart's content. There's also an emphasis on vibration reduction, which is a plus for apartment dwellers. And, you can still save on energy by selecting just the right water level and temperature for your load. Durability features include Maytag's Commercial Technology™, commercial-grade components and a stainless steel wash drum.

Centennial Dryer Model MEDC700V (Gas Dryer MGDC700V):

This dryer is as big on fabric care features as it is in capacity, with a GentleBreeze™ drying system that includes lots of drying options. There are even sensors, to shorten the drying time and an enhanced sound package. If you're the type that usually forgets to rescue your shirts before wrinkles set in, you'll have a whopping 90 minutes with this dryer.

Fabric Care Features:

Because the washer has such a variety of cycles along with two spin options, you can choose the one that's best for the type of fabric you wash. Unlike typical agitators, the washer has a gentler spiral design with flex fins to move and circulate the washload. With numerous temperature selections, drying sensors and wrinkle prevention - that means less ironing and better care for your clothing.

Energy Saving Features:

The washer is EnergyStar rated, plus this set has some good energy-saving features. Since you can choose low water levels and temperatures, you can lower electricity and water use. The dryer sensors are also a big help - they'll stop the drying when the load is done. There's also a fair amount of drying cycles to choose from and that can help too.
