June, 2009 -- The Maytag® Bravos® high-efficiency, top-load laundry pair now has an even larger capacity of 5.0 cubic feet (International Electrotechnical Commission), enabling it to wash up to 18 pounds of laundry per load. The larger capacity washer also has an increased spin speed of 1100-RPM to extract more water for faster drying and commercial grade components, such as a stainless steel wash basket and double balancing rings, to ensure Bravos laundry pairs provide dependable service for years to come.
Maytag's Bravos Top-Load Laundry Pair
Maytag brand homeowners look for both dependability and efficiency in their appliances. According to a recent Whirlpool Corporation survey, 84 percent of consumers said that energy, not water or time, is most important to them when it comes to home appliance efficiency. As the first top-load to meet Tier III Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE) energy specifications, Maytag Bravos uses up to 67 percent less energy and 70 percent less water than traditional top-load washers. Additionally, its larger capacity allows for larger loads of laundry to be washed, reducing the number of loads of laundry per week, which leads to further energy savings.
Durable components and dependable features make up the Bravos pair. A Smooth Balance™ Hung Suspension System with Superior Vibration Control allows the washer to operate smoothly and minimize vibration, while double balancing rings counter-balance off-balance loads, even during an 1100-RPM spin. An impeller wash system with Sensi-Care™ technology effectively cleans clothes and the Gentle Breeze™ drying system with IntelliDry® sensors quickly and efficiently dries clothing.
Select Bravos models offer steam and sanitization features. The sanitary and the super wash cycle are proven to remove at least 95 percent of dust mites and pet dander from clothing, and are an effective alternative to bleach. The Bravos steam dryer offers a variety of cycles to quickly rejuvenate a single item or outfit, to relax wrinkles from clothes left overnight in the dryer, or to refresh and deodorize throw pillows, comforters or curtains.
