Product review (1 stars): Do not buy this washing machine - Maytag appliances are not what they used to be...
Since purchasing this washer in January, 2011, it has stopped working three times.  After a long hold time, Maytag will send out a repairman, but they give you a schedule of 8AM - 5PM and show up around 7PM.  The warranty is only good for one year, and I predict that this washer will break again soon.  The repairman tells us that the faulty part is the "sensor/pressure switch" which controls the water level.  He mentioned that this part is made in Mexico and is $125 if you have to buy it outside of the warranty period.

Save yourself the trouble and buy yourself an "old school" top loading agitating washer, the kind with "Hot, Cold, Warm, Soak and Extra Rinse" cycles.  The supposed water and detergent savings are not worth the trouble, cost and inconvenience of having these things serviced.  If I could return this washer and swap it out for a different model, I surely would.

By the way, before purchasing this model Maytag, we purchased another Maytag washer that failed on the 3rd load.  We were able to return it to Home Depot the day after we bought it.  The Home Depot manager did not want to take it back saying that all appliances have to be serviced by the manufacturer's warranty departments.  I asked for the store manager and raised enough of a stink by saying that it was a new washer and shouldn't break down on the second day of ownership, and Home Depot gave us a refund.  I have lost all confidence in the Maytag brand.  As for washers and dryers, buy the simplest models out there, which are usually cheaper, and you'll be better off in the long run.
