Product review (1 stars): Buyer Beware!!!!
I purchased this washing machine from Lowes in November 2010 with the matching dryer from Lowes.  I immediately realized that the term "commercial technology" didn't mean squat as it wasn't able to handle a load of towels for a family of 3 without getting out of balance. So here I am 2-1/2 years later and the spin cycle is clearly not working in a regular cycle but will work if I turn the knob to "drain and spin", which I found I had to do on every single load of laundry. I had local repairmen come out, run diagnostics, and they found so many error messages they had no clue how to fix it. I then bit the bullet and had Maytag out, who's $85 service call fee was double anyone else. The guy found the same error codes as the previous team and also had no clue how to fix it. He recommended to "calibrate" the machine and see what happens. Of course, it began malfunctioning right away. Repairman #3 cam out, from Maytag, and he advised that it must be the main computer and would cost $450 to repair it....seriously? that's what I paid for the fricken machine in the first place.  Needless to say I have replaced it and when the delivery man of my new machine was here he told me that he has picked up many of these machines being replaced.  I wish I could afford to dump the dryer too. Maytag makes crap. Guess that "lonely Maytag repairman" I grew up seeing in the TV commercials is very busy nowadays.
