Product review (1 stars): Will rip up large items
We purchased our Maytag Bravo washer after careful research and review of all the available washers on the market.  We specifically wanted a machine that could handle large/bulky items, as we have a king size bed.  The machine is quiet, dependable, and very efficient in both energy and water usage.  It gets items only moderately clean.

The problem, is this washer will shread and tear large items like bed sheets and comforters.  Three months ago we washed a large pillow, and it came out of the wash completely ripped/shredded/destroyed.  We just assumed that this was just a fluke.

Last month we washed a  king size  down comforter and it came out of the wash with three rips.

 Today we washed 4 month old bed sheets(king size).  They came out of the wash this morning shredded/ ripped/destroyed.

From reading other posts by fellow Bravo owners,  this is a relatively common problem, which Maytag has not addressed.

If you have large/bulky items to wash, like bedding,  STAY AWAY from this machine!
