Product review (2 stars): Do not buy Auto Load washer
I purchased the 7ES model.  I thought that the Auto Load sensing would be great (green). Was I ever wrong.  There is no way that this feature saves water for the average user. The machine seems to sense the weight of the clothes. More weight, more water. The problem is that if you open the lid, the "weight" is now the clothes weight plus the water weight. So you dropped a sock on the way to washer and want to put it in.  Fine, but your water level will double or fill until the tub is full. You need to go out, so open the lid or turn it off. Fine, but it will fill to match the new weight, clothes plus water. Soak cycle, same thing.  Same thing with deciding to add more detergent or bleach. THERE IS NO OVERRIDE. It is clear to me that the engineers who developed this never do laundry or are incredibly . . .  And loud!! My Bosch dishwasher sits in the TV room and I can hardly hear it WITHOUT the TV on.  I can hardly hear the TV with the Maytag washer on, and it is in another room.
