Product review (3 stars): Loved it until it broke.
Bought November 2012, going to the scrap yard July 2015.  I have loved the features and performance of this washer from the start.  I didn't care that wash cycles took longer than those of other washers because it cut my water bill in half and did an amazing job cleaning clothes, while being gentle and not destroying them.  And then, one day it made a horrible noise and stopped spinning.  Fortunately, I bought the extended warranty, which Maytag is honoring by giving me 75% of the replacement cost.  I almost hate to purchase another Maytag, but internet search reveals no other personal experiences like mine.  It seems that I got the odd lemon, so I may give Maytag another chance.  If this washer did not break so soon, I would still love it.
