Product review (3 stars): How Much Do You Want a Top Loading Agitator Washer?
Elsewhere I paid about 65% last week of the price listed here.  This washer claims to be "American Made".  China products are looking better to me:) after this purchase. The clip that locks the lid is thin fragile plastic, not even metal. The cord supplied is fragile brittle plastic. The 1st one delivered was still on "rinse" after 1 1/2 hours & when I tried to shut it off by turning it to spin & stop it, the knob just spun in my hand - as the lady on the Maytag site put it "That would be the problem".  I called the store & had them replace it.  The new one when set to do 2 rinses with fabric softener took 45 min. to finish, not 1 1/2 hours.  I wanted a top loading agitator. That I have.  If this turns out better than it is looking I'll upgrade it.  I took the stores 5 yr warranty with this product.  This replaced a 22 year old working Kenmore set, each with problems: washer had to have a bolt pressing down the spin trigger to spin & drain; dryer knob could come off in your hand & have to be attached, but the last loads were bigger, clean, wrinkle free & took less time & water:( all gone.

8/10/16 - Adding this note: Washer & drier have been in use for 2 years now & I do treat it with great care, but it has lasted & is performing ok, which I really doubted. However, I only use it for about 2 loads a week. It evidently lets the water drain out properly so there hasn't been any odor problems as the front loaders have meaning top loading was a good choice.
