Product review (5 stars): Best Washer & Made in America
I love this washer, it is quiet, it has steam and a sanitize option. It actually looks much better in life than on any pictures I'we seen.  I was looking at a LG washer and even though they are good, they are made in Korea. So far everything I have owned that was made either in China, Korea, or Japan has at some point broken. I will take an American brand over anything else (Dell is the only exception). I own Dewalt and never had any issues with their tools.

My friends had a Korean made washer and dryer (Samsung) and his dryer broke after 4 months of use. When I heard that, I knew I was going to go with Maytag. It may be psychological, but it is a brand that I simply trust more.

Now the new 2011 models (the square doors ones) don't come with steam and these do, so I went with this model and they were a little cheaper.
