We remodeled in 2009 and bought a set of Maytag front loaders. I remember my wife saying the front loader washer spins the clothes so well the dryer could keep up with the washer if she had multiple loads. She really like our Maytag front loaders. Only one issue in about 10 years. Around 3-4 years ago an electrical board went out. I was able to troubleshoot the problem myself. An OEM part was going to be about $150 with a 5 day wait from Maytag. I found a new aftermarket part for around $90 on amazon with two day shipping...we did not want to wait 5 days and I am all for saving 60 bones so went went the aftermarket part. I would buy Maytag again based on our experience.
