Available in four hot colors—crimson, evergreen, white and oxide—and three levels of features, the Maytag Performance Series combines smart energy technology with practical utility and commercial-grade parts. The washer’s front-load design uses 70 percent less water and energy than a topload, and the 5000 and 9000 series offer steam cleaning. The 5000 and 9000 dryers boast a no-fill steam function for hard-to-clean items such as stuffed animals and pillows. Maytag
