Product review (4 stars): Great Machine
My husband I bought the Maytag 4000 series washing machine and 5000 series dryer in November 2010 through Home Depot.  We have been very happy with both machines.  The front-load washer is gentle on our clothes and has plenty of wash cycles to get even the dirtiest loads clean.

I love the large size that accommodates really big loads; we can even wash our king size comforter in it which I wasn't able to do in my previous washer (whirlpool duet).  The only problem I've had with this washing machine is that the spin cycle doesn't work well on high spin settings when the machine is loaded with large, heavy loads of laundry.  If I don't set the spin cycle to a lower spin speed (medium instead of fast), then I'll end up having a dripping wet load of clothes at the end of the wash.  This only occurs with extra large heavy loads, like lots of towels or several bathroom rugs. It doesn't happen with average loads that we tend to wash during the week. That is why I rate it 4 start instead of 5.

I would purchase this washing machine again given a choice.
