After four years not one bit of trouble. None. And the washer is so silent you have to stand next to it to hear it running.

Lowes also has floor sample sales. Tell one of the salespeople there to call you when a BOSCH unit comes up.

Maytag washers will last about seven or eight years, at least mine did. But when it comes time for repairs, and I mean almost any involving the drive unit or transmission, you need a lot of special tools. It was cheaper to just throw it away and start over.
I am 2 years into enjoying my Bosch set... After buying the dishwasher, I was impressed enough to buy into their laundry machines (our Asko machines were too small) So far, so good.

I would stay away from Maytag... As has been posted, they were sold, and the new owners are killing the quality while selling the name.
