After seeing its 4 star review I'm extremely happy with this washing machine. When I checked consumer reports about this machine it received a very low rating and I became a bit leary until I realized all the complaints were from people who don't know how to read the instructions on using this washer! Its It's a high efficiency machine and "he products" are necessary for it to work at its optimum level. I read complaints about white streaks from detergent were left after doing a load of laundry. If you read the instructions it clearly stated to use high efficiency detergent as its low sudsing. Those that complained I'm sure used regular detergent which would account for the white streaks as it uses minimal water and there high sudsing detergent would produce that undesirable effect. Also when people complained about the washer shaking to much and being too loud. If you read the instructions on how to load the drum properly you'll have a minimal shaking during spin cycles. As far as it being loud, I found it to be no louder than any machine I've every had. I do have it in my basement so the sound is minimal so if you have it on the same level where you happen to live and hearing the slightest noise bothers you I suggest you spend 4x the amount of $$ that this machine costs and I'm sure it might be a bit quieter. All in all a great bang for the buck and I would recommend this washing machine to anyone.

Agree it's noisy during draining, washing, and cycle changes but it cleans clothes well. Clothes do look whiter and brighter. Good purchase. Name brand. I replaced a Samsung that had bells and whistles. I'm over that hype. Plus on sale I got a great deal. And I'm a picky, thrifty shopper.

I bought this because I don't like front load washers. Also because it can handle a queen size comforter without any issue. It is a great value and does a great job cleaning all my laundry. I absolutely love that it autosenses how much water it needs to make my laundry clean. I had it delivered by Best Buy and the technicians did a great job and were professional and friendly. I purchased the warranty as well. I bought the matching dryer as well and equally happy with it as well.

I've seen other reviews of people saying how noisy this washer is. I have to whole heartedly disagree!! I don't know if others have been spoiled with the fancy machines they have out today or what but I don't think it's noisy at all. The only "loud" noise it makes is when the water shuts off or turns on and it's not even that loud. My old washer was 13 years old and it was the cheapest model they had back then. It had the big old agitator in the middle, a considerably smaller drum then this one and was so loud that it sounded like it was coming through the floor (our machines are upstairs) This new Maytag washer I can't even hear it! We just had it installed Nov.30th so I'm still getting use to it and I find myself yelling upstairs to my husband to see if the washer is even running when it's suppose to be. I love that it senses the load and puts in the perfect about of water. No more wasting water that the washer doesn't even need. My clothes come out clean and I can fit so many more clothes in this washer! I'm still amazed with it! Very happy with my purchase!

Easy to program. It washes great. Its a lil bit more noise than a luxury one, but not a big deal.
