Hi!

The only two differences that I have noticed between the Bravos MTW6600TQ and the Bravos MTW6700TQ is that instead of the pre-soak option on the MTW6600, the MTW6700 has a fabric softener dispenser option that is to be pressed when using fabric softener.

The other difference was the design of the impeller. It's a bit different in the 6700 than in the 6600. I'm assuming that it was redesigned in the 6700 (the newer model) to address the tangling problem that some had with the impeller of the 6600 model. I could be wrong, though. I am not sure of any other differences. Maybe somebody else knows of others that I don't.

Yes, you are correct in that the Maytag website is very inaccurate and the info on the Bravos is pretty scarce.

By the way, my grandmother has a Bravos 6600 and absolutely loves it!! She has had no tangling problems with it at all.

As for the Bravos dryer, I or my grandmother do not own one (we just got her the washer). If I were buying, I would get the MED6400TQ model. I do not desire to spend extra money for the steam feature of the MED6600TQ model, but that's just me. Others here on this forum love the steam feature with their washer/dryer. Hope this info. helps! :o)

Anyone willing to comment on whether their clothes come out of the Bravos washer all tangled and wrinkled? That is something I have heard and want to know before purchasing one. Thanks.

I recently bought the Maytag Bravos MTW6700TQ (instead of the 6600 model) washer because the 6700 model is said to be even better, eliminating a problem which the 6600 model had with the impeller. So far, I'm extremely happy with mine.

pluckymama, I haven't had any problem with my Maytag Bravos MTW6700TQ washer tangling my laundry, or with the Bravos MTW6400 dryer wrinkling them.

I did read the booklets thoroughly and carefully before using them, for they are so (wonderfully!) different from my old machines.

I've washed towels and 'hot' white clothes, sheets, jeans and work clothes, and I haven't had any problem yet.

In fact, the sheets were MUCH less tangled than they were after I had washed them in my old washer. I do make it a point to get the laundry out of both machines as soon as they are done, I shake out items before putting them in the dryer, and I fold or hang clothes immediately when taking them out of the dryer - things I've always done. I really like it that both machines 'beep' when done - noise level can be set at LO or MED or HI - as my laundry room is off the garage.

My laundry is noticeably cleaner - so far, I've used liquid Tide HE w/Dawn Stain Scrubbers (a sample packet came in my washer) on a king-size comforter which was dirty/stained/ badly in need of washing, I've used liquid Tide HE w/bleach (w/a bit of baking soda and some Clorox) on the 'hot' whites, and I've used Sears Kenmore HE Ultra Stain-Lifting detergent on the jeans and work clothes. I've been very impressed with the cleanliness of my laundry - AND the gentle treatment they get, even with the high-speed spin. The lack of an agitator definitely makes a difference.

I should mention I very much appreciate the soak cycle on the washer, for I've always soaked really dirty clothes, and my guys work outdoor jobs. When I used it for white clothes today, I chose the 'extra-dirty' option, and the soak cycle lasted 99 minutes - more than an hour and a half, which was great. The machine did not spin, all the detergent was still in there, then I ran it through the Whites wash cycle.

I really, really like it that the dryer is through usually about 10 minutes before the washer is done - that gives me time to get the laundry out of the dryer and squared away before the washer stops.

At this point, there are no negatives - only positives. :-)
