Maytag MVWB850WQ 28 5 cu. Ft. Top-Loader Washer - White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Unlike the first review of this product, I actually own it and will be rating this actual model rather than a model from years ago.
This Bravos washer does a great job of washing clothes even with a very limited amount of water. Further, since it has a huge tub, you can actually wash comforters with no problem. Our queen comforter came out as good as the laundromat that we used to have to take it to. A typical load takes about the same time as I recall for our old washer (traditional agitator Sears/Whirlpool), but the high spin rate actually makes drying times faster because so much water is removed in the spin cycle.
Using different cycles and options you can raise wash time to over an hour(!) but the typical "normal" setting is just over 30 minutes; sheets are about 40 max. And this model is so quiet even when spinning, it is almost eerie.
So far I am impressed. I'll update this if my opinion changes (I've only been using it two weeks so far as of 1/4/10)

Better than Down All-Season Comforter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received this comforter just before the weather hit 15 degrees in Seattle the week before Thanksgiving - Nice timing! I was looking for an oversized king which this one is close to being. It is very warm! (I have another alternative down comforter that is even heavier on fill than this one that is not nearly as warm once you are under it.) The microfiber cover is super, super soft and the fluffy fill material really feels like its down inside - even though its not. The box stitching however, leaves much to be desired. Because it is microfiber, it doesn't slide against other blankets or sheets well. On one hand, this is good as it stays put (doesn't end up sliding to the floor); on the other hand, its only barely single-stiched, so some of the "rugged, double-needle stitching" has already torn by just trying to pull the blanket up when making the bed. The one I received is NOT double-stitched for the baffle-boxes but it is double stitched around the outer edges. I also wish it was offered in other colors - its only in White and I would have preferred cream or beige. Overall, $50 for a warm, soft, over-sized king duvet is a pretty darn good deal!
