The Maytag MTW5605RU top-load washer is designed for busy, pet‑friendly households that demand powerful cleaning and everyday convenience. With a generous 5.4 cu. ft. IEC (Canadian) capacity in a compact 27.25"‑wide cabinet, it easily handles large family loads, from bulky bedding to big batches of towels, while still fitting comfortably into most laundry spaces. At the heart of this model is the innovative Pet Pro System, a standout feature that sets it apart from many standard top-load washers. The built-in Pet Pro filter works in tandem with a dedicated Pet Pro wash option to actively lift and capture pet hair from clothing, blankets, and linens, helping keep fabrics cleaner and reducing the amount of hair that would otherwise circulate through your home or plumbing.
Another signature advantage of the Maytag MTW5605RU is the powerful Extra Power option, which boosts stain-fighting performance on any cycle. By adding an intense pre-wash and extra agitation, it helps break down stubborn soils like mud, food spills, and ground-in workwear grime without requiring multiple rewashes or heavy pre-treating. This washer also features a robust Power™ Agitator that delivers 360-degree wash action, keeping clothes moving through the water and detergent for a deep, thorough clean that many impeller-only designs struggle to match. For added convenience, the integrated Built-In Water Faucet lets you rinse, spot-treat, or soak items right inside the tub, eliminating the need to pre-treat in a sink and then transfer dripping garments back to the washer.
Thoughtful details make day-to-day use more comfortable and reliable. Auto Sensing technology adjusts the water level to the size of each load, while optional Deep Fill and Extra Rinse settings give you more control when you want extra water or a more thorough rinse. The stainless steel wash basket is engineered for long-term durability and resists chipping, snagging, and staining, and it’s backed by a 10-year limited parts warranty on the basket and direct drive motor for added peace of mind. A slow-close glass lid offers a clear view of the wash action and closes quietly, while intuitive rear-console knob controls make cycle selection straightforward for every member of the household. Combining pet-focused innovation, heavy-duty cleaning power, and family-sized capacity, the Maytag MTW5605RU is an excellent choice for anyone who wants a hardworking washer that goes beyond the basics.
