Team work

Our busy daily schedules make the chance to relax at home a rarity, so it's no wonder we resent spending precious family time doing chores. But the right household appliances can free us up to do more enjoyable things.

Popular in America, Maytag appliances are now available throughout Australia.

Among the company's latest offerings is the recently launched dual-door fridge and freezer. Its special zig-zag door design means the doors open to easily accommodate wider items such as party platters and salad bowls in the fridge, while providing ample space for frozen turkeys and pizzas in the freezer.

The Maytag Wide by Side refrigerator has an 800-litre capacity and ensures food is kept fresh and easily accessible.

Whether you're entertaining or simply catering for the family, the fridge has numerous convenient features to aid the smooth-running of your kitchen.

For example, the PuriClean water filtration system in the rear of the fridge delivers clean, great-tasting ice and water. An interior shelf in the fridge can be moved up and down at the turn of a handle with Maytag's Elevator Shelf system. This eliminates the need to remove shelves when storing larger items.

After the meal, there's no need to spend hours in the kitchen doing the dishes. Full of easy-to-use features, the Maytag Jet Clean dishwasher will do the job for you.

Each of the two models offers a range of programmes and useful economy features designed to reduce running costs.

For example, lightly soiled items can be quickly and efficiently cleaned using the 29-minute speed wash. A separate flexi-load option allows you to wash items on the top or bottom basket only, depending on your needs.

Ultra-quiet operation is a key feature of the Maytag Jet Clean MJD3000 model. Seven panels of layered insulation reduce noise to a whisper.

Maytag's Total Dry technology then removes all moisture from dishes so they're ready to put away as soon as the cycle ends.

In the laundry, the Maytag New Century Neptune washer and dryer are designed to neatly work side by side.

This large-capacity washer and dryer combination easily accommodates the week's laundry, including curtains, which previously would have needed professional cleaning.

The New Century Neptune washing machine's frontload design features an angled drum for easy loading and unloading. With the dryer positioned to the right, and doors designed to swing out to oppositesides, each load can be transferred from washer to dryer in one quick action.

Touchscreen controls let you choose the best programme for each load. A special stain-removal feature provides a step-by-step guide to removing stains such as grass, red wine, lipstick or chocolate.

The washer's customisation feature also allows you to create, name and store your favourite cycles.
