Introducing the Maytag® Centennial™ top load
washer and dryer series. This new line-up marks the

steel lid to the Smooth Balance™ suspension system,
these top load washers and dryers offer uncompromising,
commercial-grade strength that withstands the test of
time. Plus, an all-new console design and center control
knob delivers quality you can see, feel and rely on. That’s
why, for over a quarter of a century, Maytag® washers
have lasted longer than any other leading brand.*
Depend on quality. Depend on Maytag.
