(More customer reviews)I do not own this particular model. I own the Model 600. Other than a few additional bells and whistles on my model, the two washers are pretty much identical, so I feel my warning comments regarding the washer I had the misfortune to purchase will be of use to someone considering purchasing this one.
This might be a great washer for someone who does not own pets, but if you have pets as I do (two cats), run from this thing like the plague! It has no clue how to remove pet hair from clothing.
My old washer had a strainer on top of the agitator that caught hair and lint as it was carried by the recycling water during the wash and rinse cycles. This thing has no way to remove pet hair and lint except to strain it through the clothing as it drains water at the end of each cycle. The result is that whatever pet fur and lint had been removed just settles back onto the clothing; the best it can do is redistribute the pet fur and lint. It's discouraging to have to "lint roll" freshly washed clothes so that they are presentable for wearing. It's even more discouraging to know that the 25-plus year old "antique" that I threw away was far, far more effective in removing hair from clothing than this modern marvel.
I even e-mailed Maytag with my complaints. They had no answers, just suggestions that I use the bulky setting to bring more water into the tub (and thus offset the water savings I was told I would get) and use more detergent--both of which I'd tried in vain before contacting the company.
