Can you tell me if there is any difference between the ISE 10 washing machine and the identical looking Maytag?
ThanksRe: ISE 10/Maytag – is it the same machine?
Hi
Thanks for the prompt reply. No offence intended. I have the ISE machine on order then saw the Maytag in a local kitchen showroom. Couldn’t understand how the ISE sales literature about being designed by UK washing machine engineers fitted with finding an identical looking machine under a different brand name.
By the time you factored in an extended warranty for the Maytag the ISE was cheaper.Re: ISE 10/Maytag – is it the same machine?
There’s no secret about it – both machines are built by ASKO to the specification required by both brand names – they are very different.

Re: ISE 10/Maytag – is it the same machine?
I thought they both used the same drive system as the maytag has the suspension system and the drum is mounted to the door the same way.
They also use brushless motors from what I can tell. One thing I do notice is the programming the ISE 10 seems to complete a wash in 60minutes there abouts but the Maytag whilst looking the same and having the same drum seems to take 1:50minutes?
So whats been done to the programming? Does it tumble more and faster to get the clothes moving about the drum with more force?
Re: ISE 10/Maytag – is it the same machine?
Simbo – Perhaps an analogy is in order, you go to Tesco to buy a tin of beans. Once down the aisle you find Heinz or their own brand. Its whats in the tin thats important – they both have beans and sauce. In this case the ISE design team went out to Sweden looked at the options and then told the manufacturer what they wanted – the tin box that its housed in will probably be much the same, its what is in it that is different, very very different 8)
What is different inside it as looking at the maytag page, the suspension is the same, the motor is also brushless. SO that covers the moving parts.

I know you get a 10 yr warranty with the ISE but what is actually different.
A lot of manufacturers use someone elses product with their own name on.
Im asking what exactly are the different parts inside?
Re: ISE 10/Maytag – is it the same machine?
Since they come out the same factory there will be some commonality in the components. What I can tell you is that we requested the best possible components be used.
What choice of components and software Maytag use, I’ve no clue and I doubt anyone else will as they won’t be privy to that information I’d expect.
You could of course ask Maytag who would be able to tell you I should think. Although, I doubt they will.

Very interesting thread and the various correspondents, so far at least, have used the ‘tin of beans analogy’ and ‘ethos’ to describe the difference between ISE and Maytag. That the internal components differ in certain respects and that therefore direct comparison is hard to fully define. But there are subtle differences and that’s why the ISE is an overall better choice, better machine and better value for money.
Interestingly “ethos” plays a greater part in the whole ‘ISE concept’. And forms the basis of what the brand name is all about. Namely the very best product made to the very best specification at very comparative and competitive price levels throughout the range of appliances they offer.
Culminating in the ‘top of the range’ ISE10 that leaves the competition way way behind. Appropriately that includes the Maytag machine and it is to be hoped that that point has been brought home by this stage? If not? Then rather than asking further questions on each internal component, be it brushless motor, programme software configuration or whatever. Take a closer look at what the ISE10 as a complete ‘package’ offers you the prospective purchaser?
Here’s a few to be going on with: –
Top spec product
10 years comprehensive service guarantee
Local delivery
Local installation service
Local and rapid after sales service
Website support
Cheap repairs costs out of warranty
User advice on-lineThere must be more but that’ll do for now…..:wink:
Now!……the very point I’m attempting to convey here……is….try getting all of the above benefits from a Maytag machine and you’ll be sadly dissappointed…..now or more importantly in the ensuing years to come when, as the machine gets older and is more likely to fail, having done thousands of tonnes of washing meanwhile, trying getting a Maytag fixed….just you try, brushless motor or not my friend..and you’ll see where I’m coming from, albeit too late by then!:wink:
Re: ISE 10/Maytag – is it the same machine?
Ok I understand! Great piece of kit!
IM tied up between the ISE10 and the other model though, I live one other adult do about 5 washes per week.
Its prob worth spending the extra couple of hundred and getting the ISE10.
I would like to ask though how it does a wash in 60minutes without tilting the drum and also if the design is the same as the maytag pretty much albeit better components that it beats the wash time of the maytag, is the drum tumble faster when in the wash cycle so more vigorous?
Re: ISE 10/Maytag – is it the same machine?
I would also like to know the answer to this, is the wash more vigorous and drum speed faster to complete the wash time quicker?
Does it tumble more times each way with shorter pauses between each tumble
Please can someone answer this question as inside the drum looks identical to the maytag also and the paddles are the same.
I am this close to buying the ISE10 just theres these questions that I need to ask for my own interest so I can build up the picture inside my head of why the ISE10 is the better choice etc.
The aftercare support is top notch I know but some people like to know whats going on inside also to say the ISE10 washes better than the maytag equivalent.
Re: ISE 10/Maytag – is it the same machine?
Tell you what Richard, you get the information from Maytag about the techie things you want and I’ll sit in my utility room infront of my ISE10 and note down what mine does. This way we both learn something 😀
Not sure how to take that.
But surely you guys know this? Is it an unreasonable question to ask? I think not.
Im a customer and it would be nice to know how the wash cycle works, there are no videos on youtube and I have searched lots.
Is the tumbling action fast paced.
Thanks Kwatt
Ok if you look at 2 different machines then for example dont even have to be maytag or the ISE machine but any random 2
Both A rated wash and one does it in half the time of the other.
What would you say is needed in the wash program to make it wash quicker but with great results still to get that A rated wash? Speaking from your own experience in the appliance world, you guys know how these machines work etc
