Product review (1 stars): Not happy with this new machine
This machine replaced a Maytag Performa that worked well for over 10 years. The old machine finished its cycle in 1/2 hour and was great. I called Maytag for the replacement model of my old machine and they gave me the new model which we purchased. I am so unhappy -I wish I could get the old machine back. This machine does have an agitator-it is large capacity-it washes clothes well. Now for the unhappy part- NO MATTER WHICH CYCLE OR LOAD SIZE I PICK THE MACHINE TAKES ANYWHERE FROM 1 1/2 HOURS to 2 1/2 HOURS TO FINISH A WASH. IT IS TERRIBLE! I THOUGHT THESE NEW MACHINES WERE SUPPOSED TO BE ENERGY EFFICIENT NOT USE 5 TIMES THE ELECTRICITY ND WATER. I haven't gotten my new electric bill yet but I a afraid to see it. I called Maytag to see if there was something wrong with the machine. Their tech support had no info as to run time of this machine but told me the machine takes longer because of sensors and rebalancing of loads. I would not buy this machine if I were you. Save yourself the aggravation I am living with. BTW I tried to post this review on the Maytag website but they said the review did not meet their guidelines!!
