Product review (4 stars): Cautiously Pleased
Bought this at a very good price at Home Depot in March 2010.  I am a light user being single and doing a fair amount of travel.  To date both the washer and dryer have performed well and are easy to understand and operate.  I have to admit the reported problems with teh drain pump and locking door concern me, as does the fact all the FAV feedback is from 2009 and the problem feedback is 2010\2011.  Had I seen that before I bought I might have considered buying an alternative, but this had nice consumer report write-ups and was a steal compared to the alternatives.

I will say that one criticism I just don't understand is the comment about water dribbling out of the front lip.  Man, I HAD that problem on my prior Kenmore and that is one of the factors that led me to this model -- when Consumer R commented about the design of the poly ring and that it did a great job avoiding the water dribble.  And mine has -- simply NOT a problem.

Here's hoping -- I guess the lesson is that if you encounter the pump problem -- don't try to fix it just buy a new machine.

I wonder if Amana fixed the ptoblem in the 7300 model?

Three year update:  Now have used more heavily for three years and am very pleased.  Pleased to say my unit has given me no problems.  Only issue has been that after running consecutive loads some water may accumulate in the bleach\softener bin.  I have occasionally dabbed it out with a paper towels, more recently I just ignore it and pour the softener in.  Don't see any impact when washing the next load.
