Maytag has launched Pet Pro features in a front load laundry pair, and Village Home Stores has them on display and at your local Low Price Guaranteed! The launch of Maytag’s top-load Pet Pro laundry last Spring was an exciting time at Village Home Stores. Pet Pro Laundry models offer our customers a powerful and reliable laundry pair packed full of practical features at a great price. The top load 6500 series of washers and dryers are a customer favorite, and we have continued to keep them in stock ever since launch. A dependable Maytag washer and dryer with great options and Pet Pro features seems to be the perfect laundry option for many households in our service area. And now, that same performance is available in a front-load pair!
Introducing Maytag’s Front Load Pet Pro Laundry
Maytag’s front load washer and dryer, “Pets Pair,” has officially launched and is shipping to our warehouse. For this exciting new launch, we hired an influencer to help showcase the features and benefits for you. Stella belongs to our appliance service administrator, Abby, and while Stella is a gorgeous girl… she does have a FULL coat of very beautiful dog fur. Yes, a beautiful coat, but…. Girl! You shed like crazy. So, who better to show you this new Maytag series than Stella? Here is her review of the Maytag 7020 series Washers and Dryers fit with Extra Power and Maytag’s Pet Pro System.
Pet Pro Washers
Let’s begin with the front-load Pet Pro washing machine. This washer is built in Clyde, Ohio, and has a direct drive motor that is powerful enough to handle large loads. No matter what size load you put in, this washer will match the right amount of water and attention to it. Auto-sensing in the washer adjusts the levels of the water used to the size of the load it senses inside the drum. There is an internal heater to fight stains with increased water temperatures, and you can even add Steam.
Selecting the Pet Pro option with a wash cycle on the MFW7020 washer adds more water and a deep rinse cycle to lift and remove pet hair from your clothing and trap it in the Pet Pro filter. This washer also comes with the option to select the “Extra Power” button for a pre-wash and extra agitation. Extra Power is available on many of the Maytag laundry models we offer. It boosts stain-fighting on any wash cycle you are running. Plus, it is fun to select this option and see the ring light up. Think of it as a way of adding a secret weapon or skill to the cycle you have selected.
Forget something after you started a load? You can press the start button to pause the washer and use the “Late Add” feature to toss in more items before the load gets fully going. Plus, you can save your most used cycle combinations as “Custom Cycles” to make laundry loads even easier to tackle.
Pet Pro Dryers
When you purchase them as a pair, these front-load units can truly get to work together for you. Pet Pro Dryers are also made in the Clyde, Ohio plant. When you unload items from the washer, they will have already spun out a large percentage of the water from your load. A high RPM spin speed on the washer removes so much of the water from your items in the spin cycle. This helps to reduce the drying time you need. Selecting the Pet Pro Option on the MED7020 dryer lifts and captures pet hair in the lint trap using extended cycle times with reduced heat. This added dry time without the heat protects your clothing from shrinking while lifting as much hair off it as possible.
The Pet Pro dryer evenly dries large loads using an Advanced Moisture Sensor that can even add a spray of water if needed while the Pet Pro cycle is still at work. The Pet Pro driers also come with steam-enhanced options to help prevent wrinkles and refresh your clothing. Forget the load was left in the dryer too long? Use steam-enhanced settings to give a quick refresh and release wrinkles. Our service technicians see enough lint buildup to know that even a little bit of lint building up can be dangerous. As an added piece of mind, this dryer also comes with a ”Check Vent” notification to tell you when the lint trap or the home vent needs your attention.
New Midnight Steel Laundry Finish
The new Pet Pro series is available in White, Volcano Black, and the new Midnight Steel finish. Midnight Steel will only be a finish option within this Pet Pro series from Maytag. It is a moody dark blue hue in a matte finish. If you are furnishing a main-level laundry room or adding laundry to a mudroom space visible to guests, consider a color for your laundry units. Instead of “Oh, there’s the laundry room,” aim for “OH! Look at that laundry room”. Rest assured, this isn’t a bold blue color. Midnight Steel is a finish that can lean very neutral in a cabinet setting. Come see it in person in the Village Home Stores showroom.
When an innovative new product rolls out with an exclusive color, you know it’s a luxury look. But this Pet Pro series does not fall at the top of the price lineup from Maytag. The 7020’s price is a very approachable number for a large-capacity pair. Just like our best-selling top-load Pet Pro Maytag units, you can wash fewer loads while conquering pet hair like a pro.
Stella has picked her top five features of this new 7 series of Pet Pro laundry. She is an official online influencer, and we trust her opinion. Check out her list of favorite features:
1: Pet Pro Filter
Anyone with even one pet at home can relate to how much pet hair can accumulate on your clothing and home surfaces. Every time you sweep, Swiffer, or vacuum, you begin to question how any hair could still be left on your beloved pets. Most are familiar with clearing the dryer filter after every load, but Pet Pro washers include a filter that works in the washing stage of your laundry. An impressive amount of pet hair can be removed during the wash cycles with these units with the built-in Pet Pro Filters.
In top-load Pet Pro washers, this filter is accessed easily within the center agitator. The new front load washers with the removable filter are located in one of the washer’s baffles. It is easy to access and unload every time you run the washer. You will be surprised how much ends up in the washer filter ahead of the dryer cycle. SENSORY NOTE: If touching the pet hair build-up gives you the “ick,” know that both Pet Pro washer filters are designed to be removed and emptied without touching the hair buildup. You can simply remove the filter and tap it into the trash to empty it. Perhaps you don’t have pets... but do have a lot of hair building up from the humans in your home? This laundry pair may be a great choice for your household in that case, too.
2: 16 Hour Fresh Hold OR Quick Wash + Dry Cycles
Need something washed overnight or while you are at work and don’t want to come home to a wet pile of laundry in your washer? Select the 16-hour “Fresh Hold” option. This option is designed to wash just a few items and then switch to intermittent tumbling and a fan action. Your load comes out clean and stays smelling fresh for you whenever you make it to the machine and unload.
Need just a few things clean like NOW!? Toss them in and select the “Quick Wash” Cycle. There is also a “Quick Dry” cycle designed to tag in for these small loads. These cycles are meant to adjust the water used and provide a quicker algorithm of spins and rinses to help you wash a few items fast.
3: WiFi Connected Features
Stella is really excited about some of the connected features this laundry pair has. She loves that mom and dad don’t have to get up to check on the laundry status. With the Maytag App*, you can get notifications on your phone when a cycle is ended and even send a push notification to someone else at home to switch the laundry to the dryer. You can also use voice controls with an Alexa or Google Assistant if you have one connected.
One of the best benefits of connecting your appliance to the app is that you can access added features for your unit when you have it connected. You can select and run specialty cycles like “Activewear,” “Swimwear,” and even “Sleeping Bags.” These cycles are specifically engineered to get you great results and protect your clothing. The Maytag app also gives you step-by-step pre-treating info in the Stain Guide. *WiFi + App is required for the connected features. Find more info about connecting your Maytag units to features here.
4: Sanitize Cycle
Stella is very happy that this washer also includes water temperature options and a sanitize cycle. If her family needs it, this cycle can use the hottest water temps for a thorough cleaning that removes 99.9% of common household bacteria! Some added peace of mind that she won’t be in the doghouse if she has an accident that needs to be toweled up or if her stuffy toys come in from the backyard dirty.
Sanitize cycles can be so important to help stop the spread of sickness when cold and flu season hit your household. The Sanitize cycle removes 99.9% of three common household bacteria and uses the hottest water temperatures available in the washer. With a 5.0 cu. ft. capacity on the washer and 7.4 cu. ft. on the dryer, you can load up bedding and blankets as needed.
5: Backed With a 10-Year Limited Parts Warranty
Maytag laundry units also come with a 10-year limited parts warranty. That is a decade of dependability for Stella’s household (more money in the budget for treats). Maytag laundry is confidently backed with a 10-year warranty on the parts that matter. The washer’s Direct Drive motor and stainless wash basket, as well as the motor and drum of the dryers, are all covered by this part warranty. This is a laundry pair our sales team and service team can endorse. Want to watch a quick tour? Stella helped us make this quick video tour of the laundry pair:
