Product review (5 stars): Don't know why there is so much hatred, seems personal!
It seems to me I have seen reviews from the same angry people on a few websites, clearly they have a bone to pick with Maytag.  I read a review for the MHWE450WW washer where the reviewer expressed how much she values the feedback on Amazon.  Since I do too and have the same washer for 15m now, I felt I should add my experience.  I have the matching dryer, both have worked flawlessly for me since day one!  The clothes come out cleaner and it noticeably saves water and a bit of energy.  The sensors work well and clean and dry my clothes as expected, as other have noted, the clothes come out so dry from the washer that the dryer senses the load is dry after 20-30mins.  I couldn't be happier!  BTW, I have never had to use the highest spin, med works fine as does high.  I did heed all the feedback and recently,at the end of my manufactures' warranty, I purchased a 5yr service contract.  So, if the 2-3yr failures do appear then I am protected.  For those who experienced failures after 1yr, I have to question how they are using the machine.  Personally, I ignored the "COMMERCIAL QUALITY" logo and use our machine like a single family might.  We only do 3-5 loads a week, no need to do more since the capacity of this washer is so much more than the old machine.  I will try to update this review every couple of years and certainly if something does happen.  Consider this the voice of the silently satisfied with their choice!
