FYI, Consumer Reports gave one model of Maytag Commercial units a dismal rating. May not be indicative of other models.

Consumer Reports weighs heavily on features and initial quality but it seems to me their ratings care not at all about longevity.

They are not water efficient at ALL, which Consumer Reports weighs very heavily.

However, most of the energy from washing clothes comes from hot water, but modern good detergents are designed to clean with cold water. I run nothing but a cold water (or cool, in the winter, via the Maytag) wash and have no issues with stains whatsoever (I have three small children).
