Product review (1 stars): the washer in spin mode started to sound like a freight train was about to run through my ...
I wish Amazon had negative ratings....

Let me make it simple for you, DO NOT PURCHASE A MAYTAG product.  Maytag believes it's products should work for 1 year and then become obsolete, at least this is what the Maytag customer service line told me.

I purchased a MVWB950YW (Bravos XL) top loader on September 4th, 2012 for $948.00 plus $99.00 for an extended warranty.  The washer worked marginally well when it was brand new.  June 2014, the washer in spin mode started to sound like a freight train was about to run through my house.  When I called for service the service company immediately signaled it was a bad bearing and offered me $500 to put towards a new or refurbished Maytag!!! They claimed if they were to repair the machine it would VOID the extended service contract????

I wanted the washer fixed, I did not want to spend more money to buy a new machine.  I continued to use the machine as is, with the incredibly  loud noise.  June 2015, the same machine starts to leak water and is even louder.  Again the company in charge of the service contract offers money for me to put towards a new or refurbished machine.

Net is, Maytag engineers it's products based on it's warranty - 1 year.  Anything after that they view as an opportunity to steal more money from you an I "the consumer".  Do yourself a favor and NEVER purchase a Maytag product.  I would like to think American products are superior to it's foreign counterparts, however Maytag is not in this league.  In my opinion, Maytag has lost the privilege to call itself American and should no longer be allowed to do business in this country.
