Product review (2 stars): Disappointed
This is a rather noisy machine with its strange sound.  Would like more control of cycles expecially with water level.  So little water is used in this machine that selecting hot or cold seems more dependant on how many loads you wash that day.  Just not enough water used to avoid wearing out clothing due to the friction and ending up with wrinkled & knotted items.  My wife's nursing uniforms are visable worn after a few washings.  Delicate items may need to be hand washed.  Opening the lid in a pause mode reveals most of the clothing is above water.  Yes, it does eventually pull and twist each item into the water but the method is much more damaging to clothing than a front load machine that just allows clothing to drop into the water.  But I agree that unless you wipe out the front load gaskets you will end up with mold.  Noticed the  pull out detergent/softner dispenser has water in it when cycle is completed needs to be wipe to dry.  Maybe best to leave the top open for a day to allow the machine insides it to dry out.  I hope Maytag will be able to respond to many of these complaints.  I like the new technology and not having to bend over for a front load but this machine needs some revisions.
