Product review (1 stars): BIG MISTAKE!!
Please do not buy this machine!!  I was stupid when I bought this machine 3 years ago.  I had so much going on at the time that I just didn't have the time to research and never thought HE meant that it took away all your rights to choose the way you want to wash?!?!  Thus, I bought strictly by name, size and price, trusting that Maytag was still the quality brand it was in the past.  BIG MISTAKE!!  And now, after only 3 years, at an average of only 3 loads a week, the lid lock is broken, making the machine inoperable until I have it fixed at quotes of $200 & up.  I'm livid about this.  I have hated this machine from the first load on.  Can't get out stains (even if I spray with Oxyclean--which only creates another stain that doesn't come out, no matter what setting it's or how much clothing, on I've never seen more than about 6 inches of water, good whites after a few washings become dingy even with bleach.  If I could pick up this machine, it would give me great pleasure to throw it out on the street and shatter it to pieces.  My choice is really 0 stars but it tells me I must choose at least one....not acceptable!
