“I own one and now looking to replace because it's a piece of junk. I was a Maytag repairman from 1979-87 and can tell you I would have no other washer/dryer than a Maytag. Now I own Maytags through out my house, stove, microwave, washer, dryer, dishwasher, refrigerator. Not anymore, soon as I start having issues they are being replaced with something OTHER than Maytag. First the washer is a...” --gomentmuel
“ Amana does not stand behind their products. You get the circular treatment, they pass you off to the dealer who passes you off to the warranty, who passes you back to the dealer and you have the circular path of no one takes any responsibility for the product. This product has major design flaws as did an earlier Amana washer and Amana knows this as I have a letter where they talk about the...” --shots
“We bought this machine in 2001at hhgregg for $633.56. The salesman said this machine has proven to be a real workhorse. Maybe for his commission portfolio - lol. It does a decent and efficient job of cleaning clothes and is quiet running. But it has been problematic. Fortunately we got the 5 year warranty at an additional $99.99. Normally I don't go for these extended warranties. The...” --TimB
“We own an earlier version of this model-apparently our problem is commonn to many front-loading washers--wash water does not drain completely, and over time, mildew forms. So far, the odour does not seem to be affecting the clothes, but the smell inside the machine is terrible! I have read about a sanitizing product called "Affresh" that is supposed to remedy the problem, so we will...” --LizJane
“This is a fantastic washing machine. We've had it for over 3 years without any problems. We noticed the difference in our electricy bill when we replaced our old top load with this model. It also requires much less water. And perhaps most importantly, moisture is spun out of the clothes well enough that they are only barely damp when you remove them from the machine. As a result, drying time...” --Aphasiac
“I beleive this is the best washer you can buy! I have owned this model frigidaire (was model FWT449GFS, older model of this washer but looks almost the same unit) Now my wife has ran this washer in our basement for 9 years, 11 months, now you must know that in my house my wife runs this washer everyday all day long! now thats almost 10 years of almost continous use and get this: today...” --my64chry
“This washer has all the essential features, and no unnecessary ones. Auto water level, softener option, simple detergent/bleach dispensation, high-speed spin. Why do other washers exist? This is the only one anyone could ever want.” --abkennedy
“We bought this washer before our 3rd child was born. It replaced an old top loader that I'd had since college. All I can say is wow, what a difference this washer has made in our life. We throw a queen size comforter in with no problems now, and I can't believe the amount of clothes this thing will handle. Our water savings are huge, and it is very easy to use. Frankly, at first...” --watermarkgeek
“We had originally purchased a large pair of Bosch washers and dryers. We had to re-sell them because the dryer was not ventable on the left (beware!) despite being told otherwise by a distributor's agent who sold them to us. They were also horrendously oversized for the space. After the vent debacle, the owner of the high profile company who had sold us the Bosch was most apologetic and...” --Ping
