Product review (1 stars): Loud and lousy
Purchased this washing machine in December 2011.  Didn't utilize it until May 2012, when we moved into our new house.  It sounded like an airplane engine from the beginning and started leaving oil stains on clothes in six months.  Maytag, of course, will not stand by the warranty because it has expired (although it was only in service for seven months).  I would strongly advise people to purchase something other than Maytag.
