The first appliance I ever bought was a Maytag W/D. Cheapest model they made 15 yrs ago. Has worked great. Had to replace a solenoid on the washer because calcium build up on the valve caused the solenoid to burn out. Needed to replace the belt and a roller on the dryer (15 yrs old). I love old Maytags.

But

IIRC- Maytag has been bought out by Whirlpool.

I think the Maytag front loaders drove the company down. IIRC- Maytag recently admitted to a design flaw in the seals.

Wife just bought Whirlpool Front-loaders. They use very little soap. Allegedly about 1/3 the water and cloths smell and feel cleaner. I don't think they will last as long as the Maytags did though.
