Maytag has launched a new range of ‘designer’ washing machines created specifically for the local market; the new washers offer 6.5kg, 7.5kg and 8.5kg capacities.

Ideal for those who prioritise “durability, style, and excellent washing results,” the new range includes three models all with a 60cm footprint, says the company.

The Italian company is marketing the range as ‘designer’, and the models include modern features such as silver buttons, door and draw trim, and LED or premium LCD displays.

Each model reaches a 4-star WELS water rating due to a technology called Intellisense which uses less water to wash large loads.
