    horrible washer NEW
    by: Michigan

    Do not buy this if you have infants in your house, or if you might have infants in the future. The drain house frequently gets plugged up with baby clothes that slip by the seals and into the drain hose. Then you get a drain pump failure code displayed. This then requires opening a plug at the bottom of the washer to clean out the drain hose and filter.

    But the plug is at the bottom. This results in gallons of water flooding the floor of your laundry room and a nasty cleanup job.

    The engineering manager who approved this design deserves an Aztec-style frontal lobotomy performed with the same type of plastic pipe snake that we use to fish baby clothes out of the drain pipe all the time.

    Summary: Good brand, but bad product design. Buy a top loader.

    Piece of junk!
    by: Anonymous

    This machine is a piece of crap! Do not buy thus washer! We bought this machine a little over two years ago. After 2 weeks of regular use it started banging and wobbling. My kids joke that the space shuttle is launching. We contacted maytag they sent a repairman it took another month to get it up and running. Again it started banging and moving. He came back took it apart and again waited for 2 more weeks until it was fixed. By now over half my warranty was used up, after pleading with them they gave me an extended 1 year warranty, but what do you know? One month after that extended warranty ran out the machine is again banging and wobbling. Spend $1000.00 on something else! Very very disappointed. This machine us not quiet. Give me my old 20 year old $400 Kenmore any day!

    junk!!
    by: Anonymous

    Washer is dead after 6 months. Needs entire basket and outer tub replaced. No idea how long it will take to get the parts. Never again will I buy a Maytag or Whirlpool appliance. They are no longer the quality products my parents used to buy!

    It's the Best ever!
    by: CTP

    I love this washer. I've had it 2 months, and it makes washing clothes a delight. My clothes are almost dry when they come out of the washer, making drying a short process. It's quiet and efficient. It doesn't seem to use much water, but my clothes are always clean and smell great. It has lots of options, but overall the process is very simple and user friendly. I would definitely recommend it and would buy it again.

    piece of junk
    by: Anonymous

    This is a piece of junk. Getting the same run around. The washer is not working after 8 months and they can't find the parts to fix it.
    This is our 2nd Maytag washer that went bad in the last 10 years. NEVER AGAIN MAYTAG.

    broke quickly
    by: Guy Marrelli

    The washer broke after 10 washes, 4 weeks. It has been broken for over three weeks and the and the manufacture repair service as of yet has not been able to find the repair part. I give this unit a poor rating for quality and reliability.
