However, some customers have expressed concerns about its reliability and balancing, while others miss having an agitator. Some customers have also reported issues with the spin cycle.

    I would give this washer a zero if I could. We have had it only one year, and it is making screeching sounds during the spin cycle. I am so annoyed with myself for buying a second Maytag. I bought one 20 years ago, and it also failed within two years. Never again.

    I have purchased Maytag machines in the past and they were great. This machine is simply horrible. It often goes out of balance and will bounce around. The controls are non responsive most times. The cycles will get stuck with no way to restart without unplugging the machine. I had a service tech tell me to record all issues with my phone because the machine is not recording any error codes so it must be working properly. What an utter failure of this design.

    Where do I start? My machine started walking across the garage within 6 months of purchase so they replaced the struts. Few months later the balance went out so they replaced another part. Then the mother board went out and that was replaced. Now the locking system doesn’t work so I’m getting a new washer under the geek squad plan hope i just got a lemon and next one is better

    We bought a maytag washer 2019 and an 5 year extended warrant. Right before the 5 year was up our washer had an issue. It was covered under Warranty But the 2 replacement washers we have gotten have both had issues with them. Sounds like bad gears. Not a mayday fan anymore. Going this weekend to check out Lg and samsung.

    I sold my home and left my Maytag dryer for the new owners. I was so pleased with the dryer I purchased the same Maytag dryer again in A gas dryer . I am so disappointed in the performance of this dryer as it won’t get jeans , towels , or bedding completely dry. I have contacted Best Buy and they won’t come out till the manufacturer warranty is up. I

    This is the worst washing machine we have owned. It doesn't clean the clothes, Tide powder is still on the clothing as if no water ever touched it. Now the door won't "close" (a year old) so it cannot be used. No service available for over a week. For a Maytag I am really disappointed.

    Washer often went "unbalanced load" when washing blankets, comforters, (the main reason I purchased a 5.3 cu. ft. washer). My laundry came out with more lint, hair... than when using my previous washer.

    My purchase of the Maytag 5.3cu ft high efficiency Smart Top Load Washer was an excellent purchase. However the installation portion was very badly done. :( The installer broke the cold water pipe and we haven't been able to contact BEST BUY to have it repaired. :(

    Purchased 6/22. Five months in and had to replace parts. Would have cost $600.00 if not under warranty. Having maytag come out again in 2/3 due to another noise while spinning. Got the matching dryer as well. Its making a scraping noise. It will be looked at on 2/3/23 as well. Glad i got the 5yr coverage.
