This baby is the more premium Top Loader Maytag offers. It has more cycles, 1 more temperature setting and soil levels, a delay start thrown in, and one more premium feature than its closest rival in this series. It does come in $200 more expensive but the features it adds are extremely useful in life. The delay start and Oxi treat stains options are nice additions. NOTE in the POWER WASH SYSTEM feature Model MVWB950Y includes a built-in water heater, increasing wash temperatures to ensure better soil and stain removal.
