Product review (5 stars): Goodbye Front Load Washer/Dryer!
The Maytag Bravos series replaced my GE front loader washer & dryer. The washer started to smell like mildew ( A common problem with FL washers), and the bearing went out on the dryer causing a hideous squeak. I was not a happy camper, as the GE was pricey and only lasted 7 years. I did a ton of research online, read just as many reviews, and went to the store to compare first hand for a replacement washer/dryer set.
I decided no more front loader and went with the Maytag Bravos XL 4.8 C.U. Ft., and I am estatic with my purchase. Yes, the set is almost as exspensive as a name brand front loader. However, this is an H.E. washer with a huge capacity; and on the powerwash cycle, it will clean a king size comforter from top to bottom with ease. You will need to follow the directions and load it like an old style washer that has an agitator in the middle, and use only HE detergents for an awesome clean and optimal results. My only con is the washer has a very deep-well for you vertically challenged folks. Very nice Washer/Dryer!
