    Aug 16 '11

    May 14 '09

    Cons: Delicate machine, easily broken.

  • FABULOUS!! TRY IT...

    Oct 06 '07
    Pros: Great cleaning and a lot of cycles to choose from.
    Cons: A little expensive...and you really need level floors.

    Summary: As a White Westinghouse owner for 17 years, this was my first new machine in a long time. I did my research and this machine seemed to come to the top of the heap each time. This is my second front load machine and I would never use anything else. The ... read more

    Pros: Control knobs on front panel;Made in Germany;Customer Service located in America
    Cons: Expensive;Doesn't work;Customer service lacking

    Summary: For around $1,000 per appliance, any consumer should expect things to be in good working order (especially a mom of 2 young, active children). I purchased the Maytag Front-Loading Washing Machine (MFW9700SQ1) from the Home Depot in Baltimore, MD. Much to ... read more
