Product review (1 stars): Do not buy
I hate this washer (dryer is fine)
 I purchased the set new in 2012 or 2013.
I was excited to get my first brand new set. I liked the no spindle, large load capacity. Once I got it home I realized there is no place to put the fabric softener. You can only use a Downy ball. I don't really like the ball, and I have to search 4 stores before I found a place that even sold them anymore.
Then, the lid locks once you start, so you can't really add any extra clothes once it starts.
Next, I realized the water saver design make the loads take eternity to wash. I work in Healthcare and have 3 large dogs, so I run my machines several loads per week.
I noticed that every few loads, the soap rings and white film was being left on my scrubs/ work uniforms. I was using the recommended HE soaps and still it wasn't that great. I had to use the heavy wash, extra rinse cycles on every load. It takes forever.
Then, right at 1 year, the washer quit. Press start and it senses a minute and then stops and unlocks the lid. When it does run, it won't spin at all. Just add water, drain. No spin. Soap still all over clothes.
I looked up online and found the same reviews from hundreds of people.
Maytag is owned by whirlpool now and they suck something awful.
So I found a repair man on YouTube who walked me through the repairs. I bought the actuator for 50 bucks. Spent an afternoon learning to repair. It worked. I had a washer again.
Well here I am one year later and boom! Actuator goes out again. I found myself stranded on a Sunday evening with no washer and a weeks worth of dirty scrubs and a shift first thing in the morning.
Thanks whirlpool, for making me have to do a midnight run to my parents house to borrow a washer.
I started looking up customer reviews to get a good washer this time. And even the 1200 dollar washers have complaints all over.
I am extremely disappointed in companies that sell you a thousand dollar machine that won't last a year.
I have found angry terrible reviews from people about whirlpool, maytag, kenmore, Samsung, LG.
I then found speedqueen. The old fashion, all mechanical, laundromat style machines. No frills, no computers, all 4.5 or 5 star reviews. No bells and whistles, and rated by consumer reportz to likely last 25 years. Same price as all the others. I will never buy anything but speed queen again
