Product review (1 stars): Expensive Lesson
I purchased this washing machine 21 months ago and it recently began making a lot of noise during the spin cycle.  I just had the Maytag repairman out and he informed me one of the bearings had gone out.  He would have to take the machine back to the shop to do the repair.  Apparently the repair parts are $250+ and the labor is $650+, resulting in a repair bill of over $900.  I paid somewhere around $1000-$1100 when I bought this washer.  If I wanted to get another one of these machines, I can buy one online for less than $600 - but I'm not sure that is even the right thing to do.  The only good thing is I would have a complete machine (less the bad bearing) to use for spare parts.  I have always owned Maytag washers & dryers, but maybe it is time to find something else.
