Product review (1 stars): Will Never buy Another Maytag
I didn't buy this from Amazon. I actually bought it from Home Depot, but still offering input on the item in case it helps someone.....  Very nice while it worked, but this washer failed miserably after 4 years of light use.  Repair technician estimated the repairs for the load balance switch and one other component at over $400 and suggested that I consider buying a new washer.  Sad, since this washer has only had light use and still appears as if it were brand new on the outside.  Certified technician mentioned that consumers should always buy an extended warranty as all the new models he is working on are not made as well as they used to be...  :(

Guess those Maytag repair guys aren't so bored after all....
