Product review (3 stars): do a better job, etc
This machine was purchased at Home Depot, wish I'd researched it a bit more rather than listening to the salesman. I've also learned that sales associates are moved around departments a bit, so not sure this person was that much of an expert. It uses very little water and HE detergent, but the bearings went out after a few years and I guess I had the expectation that a washing machine that costs hundreds of dollars would last decades. My previous washer, I'd had for 14 years, and there was nothing wrong with it, I just got pulled into the sales pitch that a High Efficiency machine would save me money, do a better job, etc. etc. It's noisy, and it has cost money to get the bearings replaced. Wish I'd stuck with my old Faithful. Will not buy a Maytag ever again.
