    Advantages
  • Featuring a stylish and compact design and a host of useful features, this model from Maytag is an excellent purchase for anyone looking for a reliable washing machine. If you’re tired of washing machines that leave a trail of bad smell from washing to actual cleaning, the MHWE400WJ uses a dynamic venting technology that does not trap unpleasant smells in the machine.
  • As fresh air continuously gets circulated in the machine, the laundry keeps its fresh smell, making cleanup a breeze. The model also features 10 different wash cycles, from normal to rapid wash.

    Disadvantages
  • Several considerations should be taken into account before buying the washing machine. First, the unique design of this front load washer makes the task of washing more inconvenient as bending over to remove the laundry tends to use up more time and energy.
  • Another issue is the price, since it costs more than the more traditional washers.
  • Finally, this washer requires a specific type of detergent, also known as HE or high efficiency detergent. This type of detergent is often more expensive than regular detergent.

    BEARINGS GO WITHIN A YEAR
    by: Anonymous

    It was just out of warranty, by a month, when I figured out why it was so noisy. After only one year, this washer is useless - won't spin. WARNING - it sounds like an airplane taking off just before it becomes completely useless. Best part is that you can't just get a bearing kit - you have to buy the whole drum (and that's if you can find someone who will sell it to you without having a technician "diagnose" the problem, for about $100 -the there is the part cost, $500, plus labour if you can't fix yourself). Ironically I bought Maytag because I thought they were built to last. Yes, about 8 months. I will never buy another Maytag (or Whirlpool, or whatever else Whirlpool owns) again.
