Product review (1 stars): horrible washer, piece o' junk
We bought this washer and within two years it was making a "freight train" sound with each spin cycle.  Called Home Depot and Maytag.  They both said machine is just loud.  Funny how it wasn't loud in the beginning.  The noise got so bad we couldn't be on the phone or watching TV while washing clothes.  CRAZY!  Finally after three years, in the middle of a spin cycle, it made knocking sounds and came to a halt, dead.  I hadn't purchased the extended warranty because I thought Maytag was a quality product and would last at least 7+ years.  WRONG.  I just bought a new LG washer.  Will never purchase Maytag again.  For those of you who are just experiencing loud spinning, call Maytag and don't fall for the "they are just loud" mess.  Obviously we didn't walk into Home Depot and say "we would like your loudest machine please".  DUH.  Very disappointed in Maytag.
