Maytag MVWP586GW Top Load Washer vs Maytag 4.2 cu. ft. Top-Load Washer

Both are Maytag top-load agitator washers with stainless steel drums and no steam. The 2-in-1 Removable Agitator model is the better all-round pick: more capacity, a removable agitator for bulky items, sanitize and quick wash cycles, auto sensing and a 10-year limited parts warranty on the motor and basket. The MVWP586GW is the simpler, more traditional machine with dial controls, selectable water levels and deep water wash, and it suits people who want straightforward operation. Owners of both praise the cleaning power; the smaller drum and lack of a sanitize cycle are the main knocks on the MVWP586GW.

• Choose the Maytag MVWP586GW if you want a basic dial-controlled washer with manual water-level selection and deep water wash, and a smaller footprint suits your space.
• Choose the Maytag 2-in-1 Removable Agitator if you want more capacity, a removable agitator for bulky loads, sanitize and quick wash cycles, and auto sensing.
