Product review (4 stars): Does a good job!
We replaced our five year old Kenmore washer and dryer with the Maytag Centennial Series washer and dryer.  Uncertain at first if I would like the "high efficiency" washer, but I am 100% pleased with my decision.  Although the washer makes somewhat of a grinding sound (instead of the agitation sound which we are all so accustomed to over the years), I feel our clothes are clean and I must admit we do feel we will save water and money over the years.  There are only two of us, so I might have looked at a larger capacity washer and dryer if our children were still at home, but this Maytag combo does the job very well for us.  I suggest any senior citizen give it a try!
