Product review (5 stars): Good Replacement
I bought this washer to replace a Kenmore combo washer dryer. I tried to fix the washer (it stopped spinning and started to leak water, source unknown. I replaced the timer myself, but the water still leaked. Kenmore is built almost like a car; just to get to one area you need to dismantled almost the whole darn thing and I didn't want to call a repairman. The timer plus s&h cost $156, so I through in the towel and bought this washer. I am amaze that people don't understand or read instructions. First of all, it works with any detergeants.  Maytag would rather you use what they recommend, but hello! if it's not available, use what you have. Second, if you go mud racing don't expect any washing machine in the world to get your clothes white, not even using clorox according to instructions will get them white again. Buy new clothes. In summary, add detergeant, add clothing, select the washing cycle, extra rinse if necessary, fabric softner, water temperature and there is an extra clean option if you want to select. Close the lid, press the button and walk away. If you want to cry after all of this, call someone who cares! The new no agitator technology washing machine works for me.
