Rated 5 out of 5 by julie83983 from love my washer Got it 2 weeks ago. Was able to wash pillows and sleeping bags. No dancing across the floor or banging noises because of out of balance. I'm a happy woman.

Rated 5 out of 5 by SMOOCHIE123 from LARGE CAPACITY I USUALLY DO SHORT OR SMALL LOADS OFTEN RATHER THAN BIG LOADS ONCE A WEEK AND THE WASHER HANDLES THE SMALLER LOADS WITH ROOM TO SPARE AND PLENTY OF ROOM TO RINSE AND SPIN CLEANLY.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Osilver from GREAT FEATURES! I bought this washer 6 months ago and LOVE IT! It was definitely worth the money. Rapid wash is probably my favorite. I’ve had many washers in the past that weren’t Maytag and I’m telling you if you can afford it, just pay the extra for the quality.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mark-62 from Simply a great washer! We love our new front load washer from Maytag. It has great features and does a fantastic job of getting our clothes clean. The only downside of it is that it is more than a bit noisy on it's cycle changes. It makes a loud clacking sound between each cycle of the washing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MikeyC from Everything my wife wanted I assumed we were one of the last holdouts on front loading washing machines but the time finally came to "upgrade". We've only had it for a month but, so far, my wife has had nothing but positive things to say. I'm rather ambivalent but she really does love it. This may sound corny but honestly one of my favorite things about the washer is the "I'm Done" chime. It's not the annoying gawdawful buzzer that we had grown accustomed to for years. Oooh, another great thing is the tactile dial click. It's reassuring to know that as you turn the dial, it clicks into each available setting. The dial on our old washing machine offered no such respite. You turned it until you *think* it's on the setting you want, only to find out later you were off.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jrhoa from Great washer and a great upgrade! I had a maytag epic z before, decided on a upgrade (original epic z washer still works), decided to get something newer. I am not disappointed as quality has gone up from what I gather and has a lot more features to customize a wash cycle. My only gripe about it! I wish there was a way to turn the light off like the dryer. Usually when I am done washing for the day ill leave the lid open to let it air dry out. However when you open it the light turns on and stays on so ill have to turn it on then turn the washer off to get the light to go out. The dry has a light button so i can just use that.
