I purchased my Maytag Top Loader Washer almost 5 years ago. My previous washer was going out and I called a repair person. The cost of fixing my previous washer was not worth doing so I asked the repair person for a recommendation. He recommended anything by Maytag. I have the Top Loader/Heavy Duty/High Load capacity top loading washer and it is great! it is easy to use and I have never had any problems with it. It is much quieter than my previous washer as well. I recommend it to everyone I know.
