Product review (5 stars): WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After 2 years of a new leaking Maytag Centennial, I decided that ditching the $600 leaker was worth my peace of mind.  After 40 years of Sears loyalty, I decided never do business with them again!  The Centennial leaked intermittently and I was told there was nothing wrong with it - it was the design of the machine!! Service threatened to charge for a call although under warranty because repair people could find nothing wrong.

My new Amana is wonderful!  After being very anxious after my previous experience, I can say nothing bad about this washer.  It cleans - WOW!  It doesn't leak onto the floor - WOW!  It is SOOO QUIET - WOW! It isn't overpriced liked most front loaders (or for that matter, most machines) - WOW! It is kind of like the olden days when you bought a washer and it didn't have problems - WOW!

MAY 2010 UPDATE:  ALMOST A YEAR LATER AND THIS WASHER STILL WORKS FLAWLESSLY!
  Cleans wonderfully, clothes dry very quickly, and my water
  bill bill has gone down.
