Product review (1 stars): DON'T BUY THIS WASHER!
I only wish I had read these reviews BEFORE I bought this machine!  I bought it from a small local appliance dealer who I've bought all of my appliances from when I redid my kitchen.  He is very well known and very well respected.  When my old Maytag died, Oct. 2011, I, of course, went to this dealer.  They told me everyone LOVED this machine.  The salesman even told me when he buys another machine, this is the one he will buy.  They actually steered me away from buying a front-load machine.  WELL, if I had the money, I would put this out front with a "Free" sign.  I can't bring myself to sell it, because I would feel too guilty!

I put up with it for 2 months, leaving lint and whatever all over my dark clothes, before I went back to the dealer with my daughter's slacks that were an absolute mess.  They told me they didn't blame me, but I was the first person who had complained and that everyone else just loved their machine.  At that time, I told them I was going to sell it and asked what else could I look at?  They told me they would schedule a service call to see what the problem was and if they couldn't fix it to call them and they would see what they could do.  The service men found that my original hoses (that were newer flexible metal hoses) that connected the machine to the water supply were not letting enough water through.  They said they could hear the water flow and knew something was wrong.  So, at no cost to me, they replaced the hoses with regular rubber hoses.  They also said I should use the extra rinse.  I told them I was on a well and I didn't like having to do that and DIDN'T have to do that with my Maytag.  They said the newer machines did not even come close to using the same amount of water that my Maytag had, so it wouldn't be a problem with my well.  Plus, they said, you really needed to use the extra rinse with these newer machines, because of all the regulations the government had imposed on these appliance companies.

Well, that's been 2 months ago and it is STILL leaving residue on my dark clothes.  I absolutely HATE this machine, but now I'm stuck with it.  I even went to Lowes and was asking them about machines.  I finally told the saleswoman what problems I was having and she did admit that the rep from Whirlpool (who I just missed) was explaining to them how you should place your clothes around the outside, wash like fabrics with like fabrics...blah, blah, blah, so the washer would wash your clothes better.  Geez, I didn't know you needed a college education to wash clothes, PLUS the time it would take to wash twice as many loads!

Bottom line, DON'T BUY THIS WASHER!  Go look at the reviews for the front-load Samsung's -- they are MUCH better reviews.
