Product review (1 stars): Lasted a little over a Year
Our Maytag unit was purchased in Dec of 2011, and after the 1-year warranty ran out, the trouble began.  The machine got progressively louder to the point where it sounded like a jack hammer running.  Customer service at Maytag originally told us they would ship us replacement parts at no charge and that we would pay for labor.  Not a very good solution considering the machine was 16 months old at that point.  They later said we would get nothing and like it.  The total repair was going to cost $800 incl parts and labor and would have been a gamble.  We stopped pursuing it with Maytag, and bought a new LG which has been working great.  I will never buy Maytag anything again. (a shame because their washers are made in the US and I prefer to support the American worker - but not with Maytag again).  Trust the reviews on this - I'd stay away from this product.
