B.P.
I wouldn't recommend the Maytag top loader washer. I find that my towels and heavy things do not come out smelling fresh and clean. I don't what it is. I tried using more HE detergent, to no avail. I just feel either its the machine or the fact that the new machines don't use as much water and if you have heavy soiled clothes maybe its not as thorough of a wash. Just my opinion. Good luck
