Product review (2 stars): not great
I've owned my Maytag Bravos 600x washer and dryer for four months now.  I read instructions closely since this is the first time I've used a fancy HE washing machine.  We chose a top loader because of all the bad reviews on front loaders.  Oh how I long for my old time traditional agitator-style machine!  I'm not impressed with this washer.  There is no way I'm saving energy on my laundry because I have re-wash my exercise clothes because they still smell after one wash.  Washing anything heavy like blankets or sheets results in sopping wet loads, which requires I rearrange the blanket and run "drain and spin" cycle.  Today I washed a twin size cotton blanket and I had to re-spin it three times before the water was removed!  I have to re-arrange sheets to get it perfectly balanced for the spin cycle or else they are dripping wet.  All my clothes appear to get really beaten up by this washer.  The clothes are all twisted and each garment needs to be shaken straight before placing in the dryer, even then most things still have the wrinkles fresh from hot dryer.  I have to iron my clothes a LOT more often now.  Also, the soap dispenser stays wet.  You can pull it out to wipe it dry but it's not easy to re-install.  Water sits under the soap dispenser so you have to push a paper towel back there before installing the dispenser back in.  Maytag recommends using Affresh brand cleaner to sanitize the washer once a month ($7 at Wal-Mart.)  What a PAIN.  I would not recommend this washer.
