Does the Maytag MTW5605RU have an agitator?

Yes. It uses a traditional center agitator rather than an impeller plate, which helps with stain removal but is rougher on delicate fabrics.

How does the Pet Pro feature work?

The Pet Pro option adds extra water and a deep rinse while a built-in filter captures pet hair, so hair is lifted off fabrics instead of redeposited.

Can I soak or pretreat clothes in this washer?

Yes. The built-in water faucet lets you rinse, spot treat or soak items in the drum, and water drains automatically after three hours.

How big is the 4.7 cu ft drum in practice?

Maytag rates it for about 19 towels in one load, which covers a queen comforter or a week of family laundry.

Does it have smart features or a window in the lid?

No. Controls are digital and knob-based at the rear, with no Wi-Fi app support and no viewing window.

Is it good for delicate fabrics?

It has a Delicate cycle, but the agitator is less gentle than an impeller washer, so hand-washing or a mesh bag is safer for fragile items.
