Product review (1 stars): 700 dollar lemon
Hands down, the worst purchase I've ever made. 2 weeks after warranty expired the bearings in the drum assembly were found to be disintegrated. This apparently explains the noise and uneven spin.  From the reviews I've read here it sounds like the repairs would cost more than the machine is worth.  And then I could look forward to it breaking down again.  I'll see if I can sell it to the local fix-it guy for parts. If not, I'll get 10 bucks for it down at the scrapyard.  Please don't let this be your future. And remember, Whirpool and Maytag are now the same company.  Caveat Emptor!
