I’m a Maytag Ambassador!! #MaytagMoms

My journey to becoming a Maytag Ambassador started in early May when I received an email from the wonderful company I work with, Mom Central, to apply to be a Maytag ambassador. I almost didn’t apply because we were on our only vacation of the year and I promised my husband that I would stay away from all social media sites including email. I left all forms of technology that I have at home except for my little iPhone which I hid from my husband. He wanted me to enjoy vacation and I understood why. While he was sleeping I was going through my messages, when I saw the opportunity to apply to be a Maytag Ambassador. I instantly woke up my husband and told him, I needed to apply to this one opportunity. He asked what it was and when I told him, he said GO APPLY- WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? The only problem is, we were on a cruise and I couldn’t apply from my iPhone. So off I went to the Internet cafe on the cruise ship and applied!

I am so glad I did because I was chosen as one of the 25 Ambassadors to be represting Maytag in 2012! I am honored that I will be receiving Maytag Bravos XL high efficiency top-load washer and dryer. When I got the acceptance letter, I may or may not have cried tears of joy! The reason being is our current washer/dryer are at least 10 years old and have been functioning poorly for about a year now. We had all sorts of problems with our washer-dryer and I just about put in the towel in, so to speak, and bought a completely new set. We had so many issues with our current set including my washing machine leaking when I put it on a certain setting- So frustrating!

Now, I don’t have to worry about dealing with my old washer-dryer anymore, as I will be receiving a brand new Maytag Bravos XL high efficiency top-load washer and dryer. I am so excited to receive the set for so many reasons. My main reason, besides being able to actually enjoy doing laundry again (yes, call me weird but I like doing laundry on a working set), is that I never had the experience to test out a high efficiency washer-dryer before! I love the fact that this set will use much less water than traditional washing machines. The set is also simply gorgeous and has some many wonderful features. With this set, I will be able to do fewer washes and clean more clothes than I was ever able to do!

I hope you will follow my journey as I do several posts and videos through the next couple of months. I will also be tweeting out my journey so be sure to follow #MaytagMoms to follow the 24 other wonderful blogs and I on this journey.

 

* A huge THANK YOU to Mom Central and MayTag for picking me to be a 2012 Maytag Ambassador.

I wrote this post participating in an Maytag Moms Dependable Laundry Ambassador program by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Maytag. I was provided with the Maytag washer and dryer set to facilitate my post.

    AWESOME!!! Congratulations to you! That is so exciting and couldn’t have happened at a better time for you! I have maytag front loading washer/dryer set but it is 5 years old already. I wish it had the steam setting! I can’t wait to read your future posts with all the details on the features!

    Wow what an amazing opportunity! I’d love to get a chance like that. My dryer has to stay open when not in use it will just keep running :/ but it is better for the laundry mat.lol Enjoy!

    I was sitting in front of my daughter’s school waiting for detention to end when I saw the email to apply. This was an opportunity I would have loved being a part of, but so excited for you on getting selected!

    Congratulations! I know what it is like to have a old washer/dryer and then getting a new one. I have never been so excited to do laundry before!

  15. Amber--JadeLouise Designs says

    Wow, that would be absolutely amazing! Those look fantastic and I’m so drooling over them! My current washing machine only does Luke warm or cold cycles, and I need a really warm cycle for cloth diapers.

    Congrats, that’s great news! I have a new top load washer/dryer and absolutely love them and the energy efficient settings. They hurt my back less than the front-loading washers (even when they are on pedestals) šŸ™‚

    I am SO jealous! If I got a brand new washer and dryer for blogging I actually think my grandma would cry out in joy.
    Nobody knows it, but my mom and grandma are the reason I blog :)!

    Lucky you! Our washer and dryer are 17 years old and have basically been rebuilt by our handy appliance man who also is a family friend. Many times he would not even charge us labor, but that’s because when many of the break downs occurred my husband was unemployed in 2008-2009. Blessings come in all shapes and sizes. šŸ™‚

  45. Jai says

    Oh wow. What a great opportunity for you, and from a great company. We’ve been checking out the washer/dryer market for a while now since our washing machine is on the verge of going out. Contrats!

  46. Jackie says

    Congrats!! That is a wonderful opportunity!!

    When we bought our new front loader I’ll admit that I had to use it right away and sat there and watched it go through the wash cycle. I was really impressed with how little water it used!
