Product review (5 stars): Affordable Quality
As a person that has purchased top loaders only, I decided to make the switch to a front loader and can never imagine switching back. This machine is incredibly quiet, and cleans better than I could have imagined using so little water. I've always known that Maytag was a quality name, and this machine looks and cleans like it cost more that what I paid. I highly recommend it.

UPDATE: It's been over a year since I wrote the above review, and nothing has changed. My water and electricity bills have actually gone down. There is no way I could ever go back to a top loader.
