Product review (2 stars): DON"T BUY THIS WASHER ! ! !
I am SOOOO unhappy with my 6000 series Maxima washer.  I purchased it after 3 months of investigation, having happily had a Maytag set for all of my adult life (top loader), and hating the ugly eyeball type front loaders currently popular.  The problem:  IT DOES NOT SPIN OUT THE WATER in heavy duty loads... (pretty bad for a HEAVY DUTY washer!!!)  Towels, rugs, or light blankets/bedding, they sometimes take 3 complete cycles, before I give up, get a bucket, and take them outside to hang and dry for two days.  They have so much water left in them, the bucket is needed to keep from making a mess through the house to get outside.  On rainy and icy days, I don't know what I am supposed to do.... Maytag DOESN'T CARE !  Their answer:  send a Service man out, and get ANOTHER SERVICE CHARGE.... and oh, by the way, we have a wonderful program to help you alleviate further service charges.... blah, blah, blah....  I am so annoyed that I spent nearly $ 2000.00 for this awful washer, and I am stuck with it, because, (being a bit older) my husband said..."this is the last washer and dryer set we are going to own"....
So, DON'T BUY THIS.... DON'T BUY THIS... DON'T BUY THIS ! ! !  and Maytag, if there really IS a qualified engineer / product designer, who cares about what you sell, (Maytag won't let me reach you), please call Maytag and get the complaints from them, and backtrack us, the unhappy losers, who bought your poor merchandise.  I can't believe I have been duped this way !
