Signaling a return to the heritage of quality production and performance for which the Maytag brand is known, Whirlpool Canada LP announced today the launch of the Maytag(R) Epic(TM) Front Load washer and dryer. With more than 20 powerful engineering elements available in both the washer and dryer, families can be assured that this line of front load washers and dryers delivers on the rich heritage of the Maytag brand. The Maytag(R) Epic(TM) line is now available at all Sears Canada stores nationwide and will be sold at additional appliance centers and home improvement stores across Canada.
The powerful engineering and intuitive technology in the pair are readily apparent. The Maytag(R) Epic(TM) line features a Smooth Balance(TM) Suspension System that works like shock absorbers to help reduce noise and vibrations. The washer’s tilted stainless steel wash basket is constructed of super tough steel yet remains smooth to help protect fabrics. The dryer’s DuraCushion(TM) Dryer Drum offers a durable cushion finish that resists scratches and chips but allows clothes to gently glide off its surface helping to prevent snagging. Design features like these are what Maytag brand loyalists have come to expect from their washers and dryers throughout the brand’s 99-year history, and what have made Maytag the laundry brand rated most dependable by Canadian Consumers.(*)
“Five generations of families have trusted the Maytag brand to help clean their toughest soils and care for their most delicate washables,” says Warrington Ellacott, Senior Marketing Manager,Whirlpool Canada. “With the new Maytag(R) Epic(TM) line, we are building a product that lives up to the Whirlpool brand manufacturing standard and the Maytag brand credo of durability and dependability.”
