After 2.5 years and 2 technicians, I learned the control board is bad and would cost about $500 to replace so very disappointed in what was once an excellent brand. I need to purchase a new machine ASAP.

Not that great! Breaks down after a year!

We bought this washer 9-05-2018. It has decided to quit draining. We are now needing repairs of course. Be warned, once the door is locked and it breaks down, you CANNOT open the door to get the WET clothes out! You have to take the back off, do some sort of repairs yourself, IF you know what to do, then it will unlock! BAD, BAD feature! Especially for people who have no mechanical talents!!! I have been on hold with MAYTAG for 31 mins waiting on HELP, (it said 12 min hold at first, now going on 35 mins) Of course you can leave a number to call back, BUT, NO ONE EVER CALLS BACK.. Probably calling a non AMERICAN country! Every time they chime in with hold update, they add at least another 20 mins to hold! What a joke! Thanks Maytag, you win. Lets see IF you call back TODAY! 11-04-19 time is CST 9:36AM

Love it

Bought from Brandsmart. Delivered 9/8/2019. Since the second time I used it on Day 1, it started making these loud, griding, thumping sounds during the spin cycle. You can manually spin the drum and hear something moving around. I can't get a warranty repair person in until 3 days after the return policy at the store. The washer weights so much I can't get it out of the house myself and it's not like I have a way to get it back to the store. I'm crossing my fingers this warranty repair is indeed repaired under warranty without a fight and fixes it for good. I purchased Maytag over LG to give the American worker a buck, not for problems. Also, where is the "whites" cycle? Even if it's nothing but a few settings, put one there. And the noises when pressing every single button every single time is ridiculous. Little concerned that washed socks don't really smell fresh after being washed in Normal.

Love it, so far!

We've had this about 3 weeks and I love the features, especially the boost option, sanitize option and the 16 hrs fresh hold! Extremely quiet, I don't even hear it running! One very minute thing I would change is the volume of the cycle done! It's very low, even on the highest setting.
