Product review (1 stars): The bearings are shot and it does sound like a jet taking off during the spin cycle
I bought my Maytag about 26 months ago.  It has lived up to all the problems everyone else has brought up in other reviews.  The bearings are shot and it does sound like a jet taking off during the spin cycle.  I will not give Maytag the satisfaction of fixing this piece of garbage.  Stay away from anything this POS company sells!  Wish I would have seen the reviews before I bought it.  Of course consumer reports gave it a great grade.  When it worked it's does a good job.  Bet they didn't run a few thousand heavy loads through it.
