You may have seen the new Maytag man commercials where they are testing and showing off the new pet pro washer and dryer systems and wondered if they are worth the high price tag.  I have done tons of research and put it all together in this review video. 
 I hope you enjoy the bonus part of this video where I see three ways of how to remove pet hair from clothes these pet hair removal. I also hope these life hacks will have your black clothes spotless again.
My wife was a dog groomer and I know exactly how bad it can be to remove pet hair from black clothes and towels. Even when you can’t see the pet hair on lighter colored clothes, it’s still there and can cause allergy problems.
 my wife or her coworkers have tried all the different products, including for zapper, laundry hair, and lint catcher, and the bounce pet hair, and it went guard. They all help, but the biggest thing is to make sure your dryer is not stopped up so it has plenty of airflow to pull the pet hair away from the clothes and into the filter.

Damn it Gabe, you're giving up all of their fake marketing tactics.

The concept of running clothes through the dryer with a pet fabric softener sheet BEFORE washing and then re-drying? Friggin brilliant. Thanks.

I actually have this washer. It is great for catching all kinds of things, not just pet hair. My grandkids often leave paper and various other items in their pockets that I miss. I also had thrown in a jacket with chunky vomit dried on it. The filter caught all of that and made it easier about cleaning the washer out. BTW, I have a Maytag dryer but not the matching Pet Pro.

[ErikaPatriciaGarza-rssh]

I have had these since August. I love them. I have 2 cats that shed quite a bit. Whatever fur is left after washing, the dryer gets the rest.

[jeanlucdrion]

How lovely. I have to make the washer add more water and to remove any lint and pet hair. How thoughtful.

[petermaz]

Anybody who is old enough to know the vintage washing machines such as Maytag and GE filter flow already know how great those filters in those machines worked at removing all kinds of lint hair and everything else so this is nothing new. This is old that is being made new.

[KillerGameDev]

Okay. You win. I just watched their ad which made me laugh when they said "and a lint trap so big, we call it extra large!" But now I kinda feel like they tried to swindle me. Thanks for explaining the way the washer agitator works. I was very curious.

[wendyward]

Thank you for the info. I just ordered these after my kenmore dryer of 23 years died. You're right the filter on top has been around for years, which is why these appealed to me matching my dead Kenmore. Plus, the agitator seems to have the best turnover I've seen, including removing pet hair. 🙂

Great video! The lid latch on that machine has already been recalled, BTW. We've already bought/replaced them and noticed Whirlpool already swapped new part#'s on them because of how insanely flimsy they are. They may be the worst yet.

[t.davidthomas]

We bought these about a year ago and I'm curious if anyone else has noticed an increase in the amount of dust and lint in your laundry room? We've been in our home for about 3 years and we noticed a big increase over our previous dryer. I had the dryer vent hose checked to confirm it wasn't restricted and also had the vent pipes cleaned. No improvement so I'm wondering if it's the dryer?

[MrNathaneasterling]

Great video! It's crazy to walk around Lowe's, they are advertising that machine set everywhere! I'm talking at the checkout, in the lawn and garden section, and of course, where they actually have them on display front and center with a huge display set up.

[jeanlucdrion]

Whatever, GE washers had the active recirculating filter flow for EVERY wash and rinse cycle. Kemores had the recirculating lint filters as well. Some stationary so- so lint trap is no prize.

[Mattyswelldivers]

I understand what you mean about the price. That being said, there are lots of opportunities to get this set on sale now that they have been on the market for a while. Just picked the set up for 700 a piece this weekend.

[ashtonchilds]

Thanks for making this and (probably) saving us money. Going to make a bet with the wife on using these dog-hair reduction methods before we drop the cash on these machines she's been getting ad-served. <3 Will update in a few months.

That Kenmore dryer at the 3:27 minute mark is from 1961, the 1960 and older Whirlpool 29” dryers (1948 to 1960) uses a series of v-belts and pulleys for the drum drive and blower similar to the Maytag Halo Of Heat dryers, in 1961 they tweaked the design slightly since the v-belts and pulleys were eliminated but was a poly stretch belt for the blower which sat directly behind the perforated drum back and used the same belt around the drum setup as malt current dryers, in 1966 is the last major redesign for Whirlpool 29” top filter dryers and pretty much has stated unchanged other than variations in drum size the the door opening.

Thank you, Gabe. I like the Maytag Pet Pro Washer and may purchase it. As you pointed out, the dryer is not worth the money. Oh, by the way, your insight & recommendations are top-tier! You are absolutely 100 percent on point with your analysis and recommendations for anyone dealing with pets that continuously shed... like our border collie mix! To illustrate my point, my wife already uses the Bounce Pet, Hair, & Lint Guard 3X Mega Sheet. In addition, before putting anything in the dryer, using the dryer's 20-minute "Air Fluff" cycle, she "air fluffs" our clothing and linens and all (I mean all) dog stuff, too. Also, between washings (as required/sometimes daily), she uses the "Air Fluff" cycle to remove dog hair from couch throws, rugs, and other stuff. Admittedly, in the past, she did not use the "Air Fluff" cycle after the normal drying cycle had ended--so she's going to give it a try. Again, thank you, Gabe. Sincerely, the Bishop Family of Flaherty, Kentucky

Ended up getting this washer model. Definitely doesn't capture anywhere near as advertised and my clothes are still full of hair. But I mean, there is some hair in the capture. So, I guess that's something. Just hate this agitator having the large fins at the top, so the clothes are pretty much not moving. Which also means the clothes end up sticking out and never getting wet.

[justinmattox]

Do you have any other recommendations for washer/dryers for pet owners?

[pdxcorgidad]

Family member got this (I'm waiting dor a front load version), and it works *really* well. Two corgis, and you wouldn't know it.
The dryer's Pet Pro option which runs the end of the cycle w/o heat is pretty cool. 4.5⭐ from me. Only reason it isn't 5: not front load.

[jimgallagher]

Thanks for this video! We're In the market for a new washer and dryer and saw this set at Lowes today along with the same priced Whirlpool set with a removable agitator. Our top of the line GE front loader only lasted 3 years before the motor went and $500 to fix. Is Maytag's warranty 10 years? Would they cover something like a failed motor? Also looking at Speed Queen but there washer is only 3.2 cubic feet.
