Product review (1 stars): Doesn't really wash clothes
<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Maytag-MVWB300WQ-28-4-7-cu-Ft-Top-Loader-Washer-White/dp/B00303XBDM/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Maytag MVWB300WQ 28 4.7 cu. Ft. Top-Loader Washer - White</a>&nbsp;The machine seems to be decorative rather than functional. The latest problem is a rubbery plastic gray substance which has attached itself around the gasket near the top hatch and I cannot seem to pull off without endangering the whole gasket. This blobbery hard substance  may have come from using non-chlorine bleach, so watch out. It's another feature of the washing machine that makes it a nightmare. Who knows where else this gray rubbery substance has formed in the innards of the machine. In general, I agree with the many complaints on this and other posts that the water doesn't fill to the top of clothes. You will have to add water manually to the machine with several pitchers of water or a garden hose or modify the circuit board yourself with a potentiometer, as one engineer did. Most people know that clothing needs water to get clean. I just don't understand why these companies are building infernal machines like this. The tried and true is often the best.  Water is not that expensive.  See what your local Laundromat uses. This post is the absolute truth and I stand by it.
