Product review (1 stars): TERRIBLE! DO NOT BUY IT EVER!!
After having an ancient Maytag work-horse finally die after more than 30 years of loyal trouble-free service, I assumed that a new eco-friendly Maytag would be fantastic.  How wrong I was! This is the worst washing machine I have ever experienced.  It is a piece of junk!  I can't imagine that Maytag is not ashamed to put its name on a machine that is so bad.  It is unbelievably noisy, downright scary, making very loud sawing, creaking, metallic grinding, clicking, alien noises when it is "sensing" and "locking the lid" and for every other cycle. Although the bin is very large, you can't put much laundry in it since it has to be evenly "placed" around the imaginary non-existent agitator in the center.  It supposedly is eco-friendly and does not need much water, but it sadly does not get the clothes clean. It tangles and can rip the clothes.  It does not spin at all if it has a normal size load as the clothes get wet and become too heavy for it to spin at all. Then you can try to use a special "drain and spin" cycle, but that also does not work and it still does not spin. If you put in anything like a quilt, dog beds, small cushion, etc. it does not spin at all or starts banging the tub inside against the sides of the washing machine making the loudest, scariest sounds you have ever heard. I am returning it immediately and now will never buy a Maytag again, since they obviously do not care what garbage they are making and selling. This is truly a sad story of a formerly quality brand name of appliances that is "Made in America", but is now just awful quality. Calling it a "WASHING MACHINE" is not accurate, since it does not wash or spin clothes. Is it really so hard to design a product that actually works?  PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS TERRIBLE PRODUCT!  I was duped by the brand name.....don't make the same mistake.
