Product review (5 stars): Great front-loading washer/dryer pair, sized right for our space!
Bought this front-loading washer as a pair with the Maytag MEDE200XW dryer for our newly constructed basement laundry room (replacing 17-year-old Maytags that were working fine and readily found a new home).

In addition to updating our old units to modern, energy-efficient front-loaders, we selected this pair for (a) their stack-ability, a must to fit our small room, (b) their overall stacked height of 72" - the only pair we found that would meet our height clearances (most others were 78-79"), and (c) the dryer side-venting option, another must do to our no-rear-clearance situation. This pair also turned out to be the cheapest in this category, and the washer had several good reviews, despite being a new model, and despite reading about Maytag quality taking a downturn a few years back. (The brand is now owned by Whirlpool and quality & reliability seem to be back up to par with Whirlpool appliances).

See my review of the MEDE200XW on the DIY project to redirect the exhaust to the left side vent (found no instructions about what parts were needed or how to install available anywhere -- installation guide, the web, or even Maytag Customer Service, but accomplished it in a couple of hours with $10 of duct parts from HD and basic homeowner tools).

HD delivery did the installation, including the wiring, hoses, leveling and stacking (you can do this yourself but this way if there are any post-install operating problems HD will take responsibility to make it right).

Both appliances are now installed and working! The washer is very quiet during the wash cycle, quiet enough during hi-speed spin, very stable (no "walking") and low vibration, just as advertized. The wash cycles we've tried are turning out very clean clothes. The dryer is similarly quiet, nearly vibration-free, very stable atop the washer, venting to the side nicely, and is drying clothes just great. (I leave the subtleties on laundry operation to my wife, but she seems quite happy with the pair).

Overall so far: 5 stars; am not discounting for the lack of dryer side-vent instructions.
