Every bullet in this section is linked to articles that are related in name-only. It's really annoying. If it's going to be a link, then link to a page about the brand. An article that's subject-related rather than just name-related. If there's going to be a link at all, then make it to a dedicated wiki page about that business brand. But until those pages exist (or even if they don't get large enough to justify not getting merged into this article 5 years down the line), then don't link anything. tldr remove the links, and just leave a simple straitforward text-only list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.127.213.188 ( talk) 20:58, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
RESPONSE: As far as I can tell, these problems have ALL been fully resolved in the rewrites done since the author's unsigned comment in October 2007. Dellant ( talk) 21:26, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
Retail partners, seetlements and recalls
Though Maytag had product recalls which affected many, and were publicized, it does not seem to be encyclopedic. Take as an example, Ford Motor Company recalls millions of vehicles a year, but their Wiki article does not mention this. It's a slippery slope; if we're going to start devoting sections to every product recall a company carries out, we're going to end up with a lot of very bloated articles. If there is a product recall which is significant enough, it may warrant its own article, i.e. Ford/Firestone, Hydroxycut. But for now, these are gone. I figure it's been a long time coming.

Image:Maytag logo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 03:55, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
Various quality issues, poor PR, recalls, internal financial problems and external competition, etc, all added up to giving up on their own assembly line and having the Neptune name put on Samsung machines. In a sense, this was Maytag throwing in the towel on Neptune, while still profiting from whatever remaining value the brand had. The Neptune brand was retired when Whirlpool purchased the company. Maytag machines made by Whirlpool use the brand name Epic. Nospamtodd ( talk) 04:47, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

In 2014 Maytag replaced the "old, bored" repairman with a younger, "can-do, more macho repairman, according to the article. But the "new" repairman was actually much older - the actor is older than the man who had had the role for seven years. 119.224.13.116 ( talk) 03:32, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
