Product review (5 stars): Mine is Fine!
Don't know what others are doing to their machines but we've had ours in service in a high-maintenance family of four for nearly five years and it has performed flawlessly. Replaced a top-loading Maytag that was handed down to our daughter and is in its 15th year. I have replaced the pump on that to the tune of about $20. All the talk about main bearing assemblies has got me down though ... what's up with that?  Washing bricks? Looking for a dryer to go with it now.
