This washer promises the deep-fill tub and mechanical simplicity of old Maytag, but the control boards die within six to sixteen months and the suspension shakes hard enough that owners post warnings. One buyer replaced the machine twice in two years. When it runs, it cleans well and spins dry, but reliability was the one thing Maytag used to mean, and this model doesn't deliver it. Skip this and either buy a used '90s Maytag or pay the premium for Speed Queen.
This washer spins clothes impressively dry and handles king-size comforters without complaint, but clutch and motor failures cluster tightly in years two through four, often accompanied by control board errors that cost half the price of replacement to fix. At least one unit shook violently enough during spin that Maytag itself called it a safety hazard. The deep tub and simple controls work beautifully until the day they don't, and when that day comes, you'll be pricing new machines instead of repairs. Skip it unless you enjoy expensive surprises right after the warranty expires.
