Maytag

Control for connected Maytag appliances

Maytag is a companion app for people with compatible Maytag smart laundry or kitchen appliances. It lets you check and manage certain appliance tasks from a phone, which can be useful when you want to know whether a wash has finished or prepare an oven before you reach the kitchen. The available controls depend on the appliance model.

Useful at the end of a cycle

For supported appliances, the app can send an alert when a cycle ends and offer remote start or stop. Laundry users can schedule a wash, save customized cycles as favorites and, on select models, choose specialty cycles. A stain guide provides steps for treating common stains, while an option to assign a laundry task can send a text to a family member.

Kitchen controls vary by model

For compatible kitchen appliances, Smart Presets can set cooking temperatures for tasks such as simmering or searing. Supported ovens can also be preheated remotely. These features are tied to particular connected appliances, so the app is not a general-purpose remote for every Maytag machine. Appliances must be enabled for remote use, and the connection requires a 2.4 GHz router.

A practical fit, with compatibility checks

Maytag is best suited to households that already own supported smart appliances and want a few task-focused controls, rather than a broad home-management hub. Whirlpool Corporation is the developer. The listing has a 4.36 rating from 8,548 reviews and more than 100,000 installs. Check device and appliance compatibility before relying on any one feature; support and available controls can differ.
