Comment:
Update to my review of 08/14/2012. The circuit board on this machine is now completely fried so after 18 months of use, it is inoperable... flashing error codes E02 and F01. Maytag offered me an extended warranty today for 12 months for $353 to cover this repair. However, I cannot justify spending $353 to keep this machine running another 12 months so it can continue to destroy my laundry. This piece of junk cost over $900 and it barely lasted 18 months! It is a poorly designed and poorly made machine. I have never had so many problems with a washer in my life. I am disgusted with Maytag.

Comment:
I bought this set to replace an older top loading washer and dryer set that were starting to have issues. This is my first experience with a front load machine and I love it! Though the wash cycle takes longer than my old machine, the clothes come out so much cleaner and drier. The total time to wash and dry a load remains about the same it just spends more time in the washer than the dryer and thus uses less energy. The capacity is huge. We are a family of 4 and what used to take 2 loads to wash can be done in 1 load. There are many different settings to choose from. You can customize most of them, but there are some cycles where you can't change some settings. It will automatically select certain settings and you may need to actually deselect a setting if you do not want it (i.e., extra rinse if you just want to spin something dry). This machine is also very quiet compared to my old top loader.<br />The only cons so far that I have experienced with this set is that when I use pod detergent packs they sometimes don't dissolve all the way and end up in the rubber boot. The other issue is that they sit very low if you don't have the pedestals. You will need to kneel down in order to remove/transfer loads which might be an issue for some people. <br />Though I usually do not buy them, I bought the extended warranty because the whole machine is electronic. If the panel or any sensor goes out on it will not work and cost a good amount to fix.

Comment:
The main computer in this product crashed after 13 months of use -- of course, right after the 1-year warranty expired. It required a several-hundred dollar repair.
