Has anyone seen the new Maytag ads where the spokesman portrays a dishwasher, a refrigerator, & a washer/dryer? I really like the new ads & find them clever & humorous. It isn't Mike Rowe, but the spokesman reminds me of Mike Rowe.(ruggedly handsome) I personally like the washer/dryer one the best.

I haven't see the washer/dryer commercial but the dishwasher is cute. Hubby even thought so.

I've seen them. The new actor isn't Jesse White (the original Maytag Repairman) or Gordon Jump (Jesse White's successor); I remember both of them. I guess Maytag thinks that enough people have forgotten the original and, therefore, they can start fresh. I'm not impressed.

I've only seen the fridge commercial. I really enjoyed it, especially at the end, when he says, 'Lazy toaster!'.

I like the DW one the best.

New man is Colin Ferguson. Both DH and I were surprised to see him doing commercials as we recall him from a series called Eureka and a couple of episodes on Haven.

Thank you for knowing who that was - I thought he looked familiar! I think it's a cute commercial.
