Product review (1 stars): Exploded Washing Machine - DON'T BUY A MAYTAG OR WHIRLPOOL EVER
I have a youtube video showing the washer. Search exploded Maytag washer.

This is my Maytag Bravo Series Quiet 300, Whirlpool washing machine. This thing was under two years old and it destroyed itself during its spin cycle. A service man came and said a rod holding the drum in place must have slipped and that when it continued to spin it disintegrated. The service guy never saw anything like this and even took a picture with his cellphone to show his boss. The repair man said that it would cost over $1000 including labor to fix and that is without even replacing the side paneling. This model only has an msrp of $850 to begin with. What a piece of junk! I called the Maytag/Whirlpool company and they didn't even care. It shook so violently that it busted a hole in the back, dented my dryer, dented my wall, and spewed water all over. It would've tipped over and crushed my feet or our toddler if the walls weren't there to stop it. The service dept. didn't even care. They said it wasn't a safety issue b/c no one got hurt. SERIOUSLY! Pretty unbelievable and arrogant! The service dept continued to tell me that since the washer wasn't on a concrete subfloor (aka the foundation) that unexpected shaking could result and cause damage. WHAT! The repair man said that this was ridiculous and that the company should do something for us since it was essentially new. But alas, we didn't buy an extended warranty so they wouldn't do jack. After many calls they said they would give us the same model for a price of $550 plus tax. We told them never mind b/c we bought this model on sale with a coupon for $550 new. So essentially they told us we could buy it at the full price we got it for to begin with. So that  is my rant. Please make sure you don't buy a MAYTAG or WHIRLPOOL. They are made by the same company. They have rude customer service and do not stand behind their product. PLEASE DON'T SUPPORT THEM!
