Maytag Performance Kitchen Lineup blends aesthetics and performance, backed by a 10-year limited part warranty.

New survey reveals durability and performance in large kitchen appliances are very important to homeowners.

BENTON HARBOR, Mich., Nov. 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Maytag brand introduced its Performance Lineup today, a new collection of large appliances and performance powerhouses in the kitchen. The lineup includes a large capacity cooling fridge, a range that simmers and sears with precision, a microwave that handles splatters and spills, and a dishwasher with serious cleaning strength.

From taking on mealtime with power and performance to tackling tough messes, Maytag gets the job done and gets it done right, because Maytag knows durability, functionality, and performance are non-negotiables when it comes to large kitchen appliances. A recent survey¹ conducted on behalf of Maytag shows nearly three-fourths of homeowners say durability (73%), functionality (72%), and performance (70%) are very important when it comes to home appliances like refrigerators, ovens, and dishwashers.

"Not only is this lineup stacked with power, it touts a new Maytag badge with elevated touch points such as handles and knobs," said Lauren Bigger, Maytag Senior Brand Manager. "While we prioritize performance, we know appliance aesthetics and overall kitchen design is very important to homeowners. This kitchen collection has the same Maytag dependability our shoppers know and trust, but now with a new modern look and feel."

The survey¹ also found that while most respondents were happy with the current status of their kitchens, over half (53%) have future plans to renovate with the desire to achieve a new look (59%), create more space (42%), and update appliances (40%).

"Maytag works tirelessly to get the job done and the new performance lineup is no different," said Bigger. "We're offering quality, attractive kitchen appliances at an affordable price for homeowners looking to enhance their kitchen space and experience."

The Maytag^® Performance Lineup brings the power to cooking, cleaning, and cooling in the kitchen. The new lineup comes in a stainless steel finish and is designed with key features, including:

• 36-Inch Wide Side-by-Side Refrigerator - 25 cu. ft.: (MRSF4036PZ/B/W)
